UVP PhotoDoc-It Imaging System - Manual (Page 3)

PhotoDoc-It Imaging System 3
Ethidium Bromide Filter
The EtBr emission filter is installed inside the hood at the UVP factory. The filter is used to absorb UV and IR radiation
from the transilluminator and to enhance the band image signal generated by ethidium bromide-stained gels. The filter
can be removed when imaging non-fluorescent media (protein gels, colony plates, etc.) to produce brighter images.
Additional filters are available. Contact UVP for more information.
Transilluminator
An ultraviolet transilluminator may be shipped with the system (included components can be verified according to the
system packing slip). The transilluminator includes an ultraviolet blocking cover; however, the cover should be removed
when the transilluminator is used with the system.
Gel Viewer Window
The Gel Viewer Window is comprised of a UV blocking material to provide safe sample viewing without removing the
hood. Opening the Gel Viewer Window allows users to view the actual gel without exposure to UV and without having
to turn off the UV transilluminator.
Color Printer
Print 4x6” lab quality color prints on the compact color printer supplied with the system. A supply of 108 sheets is
included with the printer. (Note: Printer received may look different than printer pictured in this manual)
Combination Lock
A three-digit combination lock is supplied for securing the camera to the hood. The combination can be reset as
required. The cable is 30” long, providing flexibility when moving equipment.
