Gel Documentation System

Introducing the SmartDoc 2.0 (Item no. E5001-SDB). 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.

Imaging enclosure works with all common smart phones
System includes blue light illumination base, orange viewing cover, and orange photo filter
Ideal for common safe stains (SmartGlow™, SYBR Green, GelGreen™, etc.)
Visible blue light will not damage DNA
Gel viewing and gel access for DNA band cutting
Optional amber viewing glasses, for band excising
Imaging enclosure can also be used on existing transilluminators

Introducing the SmartDoc 2.0 (Item no. E5001-SDB). 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 green fluorescent 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 for further study.
