Invitrogen™ iBright™ System Tray Adapter for E-Gel™ Agarose Gels
Description
Invitrogen iBright Tray Adapters for E-Gel Agarose Gels are imaging accessories designed to optimize the image capture of Invitrogen E-Gel Agarose Gels.
Features of Invitrogen iBright Tray Adapters for E-Gel Agarose Gels include:
• The bottom component centers the E-Gel agarose gels on the iBright transilluminator box facilitating optimized zoom
• The top component covers labels and bar codes on the E-Gel cassette to reduce stray light during image capture and improve sample signal optimization
• Compatible with all iBright models (CL750, CL1000, CL1500, FL1000, and FL1500)
• Compatible with 11- to 96-well E-Gel agarose (Cat. No. A56600 for 11-/22-well, Cat. No. A56599 for 48-/96-well)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
The iBright Imaging Systems utilize a transilluminator based on green LEDs, which effectively excite popular DNA dyes such ethidium bromide and SYBR Green dye and offer several additional benefits:
- No harmful UV rays: While UV light effectively excites many fluorescent dyes and stains, UV light is a health hazard. Further, prolonged exposure to UV light can damage DNA samples, and compromise the integrity of samples to be used for downstream applications, such as subcloning.
- No mercury waste: UV transilluminator bulbs may contain mercury, a hazardous substance, and therefore require special care for handling and disposal.
- Longer lifetime: LED bulbs have a substantially longer real-time life than fluorescent UV bulbs, which can add up to considerable cost savings over the lifetime of the instrument.

The iBright CL1500 Imaging System supports a wide range of applications including the following:
Protein gel: colorimetric staining of gels (e.g., Coomassie, silver) and membranes (e.g., Ponceau S, Thermo Scientific Pierce Reversible Protein Stain), fluorescent staining of gels (e.g., Invitrogen SYPRO Ruby stain)
Nucleic acid gel: ethidium bromide and Invitrogen SYBR stains; imaging of E-Gels and hand pour gels is supported
Chemiluminescent western blot: chemiluminescence using all popular HRP and AP substrates (e.g., Thermo Scientific SuperSignal and Invitrogen WesternBreeze substrates)
Additional applications: colony counting for GFP, crystal violet, and blue/white colonies; TLC plates, and leaf sections

The iBright FL1500 Imaging System provides maximum application support including up to 4-channel multiplex western blot imaging. See the list below for more details:
Protein gel: colorimetric staining of gels (e.g., Coomassie, silver) and membranes (e.g., Ponceau S, Thermo Scientific Pierce Reversible Protein Stain), fluorescent staining of gels (e.g., Invitrogen SYPRO Ruby stain)
Nucleic acid gel: ethidium bromide and Invitrogen SYBR stains; imaging of E-Gels and hand-poured gels is supported
Chemiluminescent western blot: chemiluminescence using all popular HRP and AP substrates (e.g., Thermo Scientific SuperSignal and Invitrogen WesternBreeze substrates)
Fluorescent western blot: fluorescence with popular RGB (visible range) and near-IR fluorophores (e.g., Invitrogen Alexa Fluor and Alexa Fluor Plus conjugates)
Additional applications: colony counting for GFP, crystal violet, and blue/white colonies; TLC plates, and leaf sections
