Model VEO100    B-BOX™ Blue Light LED Epi-Illuminator

Why use Blue Light, not UV light ?
1.)  UV light damages the DNA sequence
2.)  DNA electrophoresis mobility is reduced after exposure to UV light 
3.)  Cloning efficiency is reduced after exposure to UV light 

Description
The B-BOX™ is a long wavelength, blue light LED epi-illuminator. It is compact in design and robust in structure. Due to its non-UV light source, non-carcinogenic 'Safer' DNA/ Protein dyes can be used (Note, Ethidium Bromide can also be used with the B-Box).  See our listing of 'Safer' recommended dyes, listed below. Operating on low operating voltage of only 12 volts,  the B-BOX™ epi-illuminator provides an unprecendented level of safety for users.  The B-BOX™ also comes with amber colored filter goggles and high quality non-flickering LED lights that are highly sensitive for DNA and protein dyes (see listing below). The B-BOX™ can greatly ease the routine chore of gel extraction, enabling easy visualization and gel cutting even in bright ambient light. The Multi-angle filter plate provides optimal angles for gel cutting, visualization, and documentation. Finally, a built in barrier system built around the working area helps facilitate cleaning.
