UV light sources are used in molecular biology research for the visualization of ethidium bromide stained agarose gels and for bacteria transformed with fluorescent proteins.  Two UV light sources are offered:

 

UV Transilluminator/Light Box
The intensity of the 302nm UV light source can be adjusted to two levels, normal and low, at the touch of a button. The low setting provides a 20% reduction in intensity to minimize damage to nucleic acids during longer exposures. Full intensity produces clear and bright illumination for documentation. Users are protected by a hinged, transparent shield of UV blocking acrylic. For additional safety, UV safety glasses are recommended with the UV transilluminator.

 

UV Lamp
A hand held and battery operated UV lamp is also available. Safety glasses
not required.

 

UV Safety Glasses
UV Safety glasses provide extra protection from harmful UV rays.  Recommended when using the UV Transilluminator.
