Introduction
Introduction
Visi-Blue™ Transilluminators convert 365nm UV to 460-470nm blue light, emitting no harmful UV energy.
Visi-Blue Transilluminators are designed for use with GelStar®, GFP, SYBR® green, Vistra Green,
SYPRO® Orange and Ethidium Bromide stains. As compared to UV, the blue light can transmit through
almost any transparent laboratory equipment (plastic, glass, acrylic, etc.). This is essential when monitoring
and detecting DNA migration and protein expression in “real time.” When used in imaging applications, use
the proper emission filter to eliminate/reduce the background.
The amber colored cover blocks blue light transmission and allows visualization of all media above 500nm.
