SmartBlue™ Blue Light Transilluminator

The SmartBlue™ Blue Light Transilluminator is a cutting-edge imaging system designed for safe and efficient visualization of fluorescently stained nucleic acids and proteins. Emitting blue light at a wavelength of 465-470 nm, this device provides a safer alternative to UV transilluminators, protecting both users and samples from potential damage. Ideal for use with stains such as SmartGlow™, SYBR Green, GelGreen™, Ethidium Bromide and other green fluorophores, The SmartBlue™ Transilluminator ensures clear and bright visualization of DNA and RNA gels. 

Key Features

• Safe for Users and Samples:
  The blue light wavelength minimizes damage to DNA samples, preserving downstream cloning efficiency, and is less harmful to the user compared to UV light.

• Bright and Uniform Illumination:
  High-intensity blue LEDs provide even illumination across the entire viewing surface, resulting in sharp, clear band visualization.

• Adjustable Amber Filter Cover:
  Both the E4101 and E4000 models include amber filter covers that enhance band clarity by filtering out excess blue light. These covers can be set flat or at an angle for easy gel excision.

• Optional Viewing Glasses:
  The SmartBlue™ Plus Viewing Glasses offer an additional layer of blue light protection and can block both blue and UV wavelengths, ideal for frequent DNA band excision.

• Durable and Long-Lasting:
  Equipped with LED technology that has a lifespan of 30,000 hours, the device ensures reliable, energy-efficient performance. Its scratch-resistant viewing surface maintains optical clarity over time.

• Compact and Lightweight Design:
  The SmartBlue™ Transilluminator is portable and easy to integrate into any lab setup, making it ideal for routine use.
