Make the move to Blue...the smart alternative to UV. Visible blue wavelength at 465nm is not damaging to DNA, so DNA bands can be cut out and used for further experiments. Downstream cloning efficiency is very high due to minimal DNA degradation. The blue light is non-hazardous to eyes or skin. The SmartBlue Mini requires no special safety shielding, but blue light needs to be filtered for dye visualization. The detachable, dual-position amber cover filters out the blue light, allowing stained DNA bands to be seen clearly. The cover can also be placed at a 60° angle for band excision or in the horizontal position for general viewing. The SmartBlue Mini incorporates powerful LEDs with a diffuser and filter to provide optimal excitation of green fluorescent dyes. Light penetrating the gel from below provides a high level of sensitivity to detect small quantities of DNA. An array of super bright LEDs with a 30,000 hour service life provide the light source for the SmartBlue Mini. To save energy, the power switch includes an automatic 5-minute shutoff. A scratch proof cover glass protects the lighted surface, allowing gels to be cut with a metal blade. The SmartBlue Mini Transilluminator is covered by a 2 year warranty.
