Accuris SmartBlue™ Mini Blue Light Transilluminators
The Accuris SmartBlue™ Mini Blue Light Transilluminator is optimized for a variety of safe DNA stains, providing enhanced safety for your samples and laboratory personnel. Emitting blue light at a precise wavelength of 465 nm, it is ideal for exciting a range of common green fluorophores, including:
Additionally, the SmartBlue Mini can effectively excite EtBr, albeit with slightly reduced fluorescence compared to UV light. Utilizing blue light dramatically reduces the risk of molecular damage to DNA, leading to superior downstream cloning efficiency versus traditional UV exposure. Not only is the visible blue light safer for your samples, but it also minimizes potential harm to the user's skin and eyes.
Key Features:
- Transformative Filter Technology: Equipped with a two-position filter cover that efficiently blocks out blue light, enabling clear visibility of fluorescing DNA bands. These amber covers can be positioned flat for general viewing or angled for easy gel access, with the option to remove them completely for documentation purposes.
- High-Performance Imaging: The integrated bright LED light plates along with a specialized filter layer guarantee an evenly lit viewing surface. Bands of DNA are easily discernible even under ambient light conditions, resulting in clearer and more balanced images compared to those captured with side-illuminated systems.
- Durable Design: Featuring an array of super-bright LEDs with an impressive 30,000-hour lifespan, the SmartBlue Mini lifecycle surpasses traditional UV transilluminators. The system's filters maintain their performance over time, ensuring reliable use. The scratch-resistant glass viewing surface allows for direct gel band excision, enhancing usability.
- Energy Efficient: To prolong lifespan and reduce energy consumption, the SmartBlue Mini comes with an automatic 5-minute shutoff feature, minimizing unnecessary power usage.
Note: While the blue light emitted by the SmartBlue™ is considerably safer than UV light, it is advisable to avoid direct viewing of the surface without the amber cover in place for optimal safety.
