Works with DNA or RNA gels stained with Ethidium Bromide or SYBR Green
Sharp fluorescent markings
Intended for large or small gels
The most sensitive and expensive part of the UV transilluminator is the filter glass. Filter glass is necessary to block out the visible light and UV light of undesirable wavelengths. When researchers work with gels on the surface of filter glass to excise DNA bands, the surface of the filter is vulnerable to scratches and nicks. The Fluoro-Sheet, a UV transmittable sheet can provide reliable protection against such damages. Conventional fluorescent rulers only provide a one dimensional scale. The Fluoro-Sheet, however, provides two dimensional fluorescent scales in three sizes, 20 x 19 cm, 15 x 14 cm and 10 x9 cm. This improved versatility provides researchers a better way to assess the distance of DNA migration in the gel, since the rate of DNA migration is not always the same on each side of the gel. The Fluoro-Sheet is designed for UV tranilluminators of medium (300 nm) and long (365 nm) wavelengths. NOTE: It is NOT transmittable to UV of short wavelength (260 nm)
