As the ultraviolet tubes age in other transilluminators, their output steadily decreases with no or little visible signs of UV degradation. This makes faint bands more difficult to detect and can greatly affect quantitative densitometric measurements. Included on every unit is adjustable intensity switches to regulate output for your application.
Internal fans remove heat from the gel surface to avoid sample damage.
During gel preparation, reduce the intensity to minimize photo-nicking of gels, then raise the intensity to whatever level is needed for maximum fluorescence. All units are fan cooled to remove heat from the gel surface to avoid sample damage. Full Stainless Steel tops Cooling fan Dual and triple wavelengths available Ultra-Lum electronic transilluminators outperform competitors' units yet are competitively priced, making them the best value on the market. If cost is a major concern, we also offer the Thriftline TM series of magnetically ballasted units, which offers performance comparable to any other transilluminator on the market at bargain prices. Ultra-Lum transilluminators are not supplied with UV blocking shields or covers allowing for customization.
