Gel Imaging and Documentation Systems
Thomas Scientific SmartDoc UV Blocking Mat
Ideal for common safe stains (SmartGlow™, SYBR Green, GelGreen™, etc.) Visible blue light will not damage DNA Quality gel imaging with any smart phone Gel access for DNA band cutting Imaging enclosure can also be used on existing transilluniators Introducing the SmartDoc 2.0. This complete system has been developed for safely viewing nucleic acids in agarose gels and also for capturing quality digital images with a smart phone camera. Blue light is used instead of UV, which is safer for lab personnel and will not damage DNA samples. The illumination base emits an intense blue light with a peak output of 460nm for optimum excitation of nucleic acids stained with safe green dyes (SYBR Green, SmartGlow™, GelStar™, GelGreen™, etc). The orange cover fits on top of the illumination base and acts as a filter to absorb blue light, allowing visualization of the fluorescing samples. The cover can also be set at an angle for gel access and cutting out DNA bands
LICORbio Desiccant Replacement Kit
This kit contains a replacement desiccant cartridge for the Pearl Imager and the Odyssey XF Imager. The Pearl imager and Odyssey XF instrument each have a cooled CCD camera that uses desiccant to prevent water condensation on the internal cooled surfaces. When the internal relative humidity reaches 30%, the software will issue a warning that the desiccant will soon need to be replaced. When the relative humidity reaches 60%, the cooler will be disabled to prevent condensation.
Thomas Scientific SmartBlue Transilluminator, 115V, US Plug
Many new fluorescent dyes have been developed to replace the traditional method of nucleic acid detection using toxic EtBr. The use of these new dyes eliminates the requirement for DNA-damaging UV light, as their fluorescent excitation can be achieved using visible, blue light wavelengths. The Accuris SmartBlue is the perfect transilluminator to use with these new dyes. Blue light, safe for nucleic acids Uniform illumination (UI Technology) Optimal wavelength (465) for green stains Easily removable, 2 position amber shield Optional amber viewing glasses Safer samples, safer for you New fluorophors have been developed to replace the traditional method of nucleic acid detection with toxic Ethidium bromide. They also eliminate the use of DNA damaging UV light, as they are visualized with blue light. The SmartBlue Transilluminator is the perfect partner for these new stains. It emits blue light at a wavelength of 465nm, perfect for excitation of most green fluorophors, including Accuris
