Ultraviolet Lamps and Accessories
Ultraviolet lamps that perform a variety of analytical and sterilizing functions as well as accessories and replacement parts for UV lamps. Products include handheld UV lamps, benchtop UV lamps, UV bulbs, UV tubes, and UV viewing cabinets.
Longwave or Ultraviolet A (UVA) lamps emit UV light from 315 to 400nm. UVA lamps are used for bacterial identification, staining, electrophoresis, pesticide analysis, fluorescence photography, visualizing nucleic acids, and other genetic work. UVA is also useful for monitoring chlorination, in fluorochemistry, titrations, thin-layer chromatography (TLC), food contamination identification, water testing, and forensic applications.
Medium-wave or Ultraviolet B (UVB) lamps emit light in wavelengths from 280 to 315nm and are used for gel electrophoresis, viewing, and other procedures. UVB light is also used in transilluminators. Gels are stained with fluorescent dyes that bind to the nucleic acids to make them visible under UVB light. This technique helps researchers size PCR products, quantify DNA, and verify the integrity of extracted RNA.
Shortwave or Ultraviolet C (UVC) lamps emit light in the 100 to 280nm range. Often used as germicidal lamps, UVC is commonly used to disinfect surfaces in laboratories and food-processing facilities and to disinfect water. UVC lamps are also used to cure polymers and for fluorescent analysis, in fluorochemistry, pesticide analysis, DNA and other biochemical testing, microbiological testing, electrophoresis, and photochemistry.
Use caution when using UV lamps.
- Enclose UV lamps inside light-tight cabinets or enclosures wherever possible and use screens, shields, and barriers to otherwise contain the UV radiation
- Always use transilluminator covers and replace them immediately if they are discolored, degraded, or damaged
- Do not override any locking devices that help prevent accidental exposure

Prior Scientific Inc LAMP 200W FOR LUMEN SYSTEMS
Prior's proprietary 2,000 hour life, 200 watt metal arc lamp, 2 or 2 meter liquid light guide provide unrivalled versatility & illumination power. The Lumen 200 utilizes a metal halide lamp rather than the more traditional high pressure mercury or xenon burners. 2000 hours of stable output compared to a maximum of 300 hours for a mercury lamp. Coupled to the microscope using a liquid light guide there is very little heat transfer helping to eliminate thermal drift during time lapse experiments. The Lumen 200 also incorporates a variable light attenuation control to reduce the potential of bleaching and phototoxicity. Remote mounting. Stabilized DC power supply. Quiet operation. Easy to view display screen for bulb life indication and alarm description. Knurled light guide clamping knob for secure light guide installation. Adapters available for all modern research microscopes. Six position adjustable aperture/intensity knob to protect samples from photobleaching. Easy bulb replacement.
Research Products International Corp Compact UV Lamp, 254 nm, 7 3/4 x 2 3/4 x 2 Inches
Easy to handle and convenient to use. Lightweight lamps feature a durable plastic housing. Shortwave model, 254 nm, is equipped with long-life filter.
Cole-Parmer Handheld UV Lamp, 6 Watt, 254/365 nm, AC Operated; 110 VAC, 50/60 Hz
The series of lightweight, handheld lamps offer UV wavelengths of 365 and 254 nm, or a combination of the two. They’re cordless and use 12 VDC rechargeable batteries. They can sustain three hours of continuous use or about 500 intermittent uses when fully charged. The models equipped with an automatic safety switch prevent harmful exposure to UV radiation if the lamp is turned upside down.
