Overview
Transilluminators are an indispensable part of today's life science labs and are routinely used for visualization of DNA/RNA and protein samples separated on agarose gels. Transillumination is the technique of sample illumination by transmission of light through the sample. During or immediately after electrophoresis of macromolecules such as DNA or RNA, the agarose gel is stained with a fluorescent dye which binds to nucleic acid. When this stained gel is exposed to a UV light source, the DNA fluoresces and becomes visible. Genaxy UV Transilluminators have a viewing area of 20x20cm and three 8W tubes. Useful for detecting DNA of minimum concentration 50ng.
