Ultra-Slim UV Transilluminator

The Slimline Series UV transilluminator from Spectronics Corp. is equipped with a filter glass that measures just 4.3 in. x 5.5 in. (11 x 14 cm), making it ideal for working with mini gels and samples. The cost effective unit features a slim profile that utilizes just four eight-watt UV tubes, minimizing UV exposure to the lab technician.

The exclusive LONGLIFE UV filter glass inhibits solarization up to 50 times longer than traditional UV filters, extending filter life dramatically and providing longer usage. A unique diffusing screen ensures superior light distribution and eliminates confusing light striations caused by the contours of the tubes. The UV-transmitting filter allows manipulation of gels directly on the transilluminator and shields the filter glass from cuts, scratches and breakage.

A hinged UV-blocking cover protects users from harmful UV radiation and the need for additional UV-absorbing clothing or face wear. It also protects the filter from damage caused by dropping objects on the glass. Constructed of heavy-duty, acrylic-based, UV-blocking material, the cover fits well over all gels and TLC plates.

The Slimline Series UV transillumintor measures a mere 11.5” W x 14” L x 2.5” H (29.2 x 35.6 x 5.7 cm) and can fit easily in today’s crowded laboratories. It’s available in 254 nm, 312 nm, and 365 nm wavelengths, as well as 120V/60Hz, 240V/50Hz and 100V/50-60Hz.
