Blue LED Light Transilluminator
Product Code : EL-IS-10931
Last updated: 6 October 2026
Quick answer: A transilluminator emitting blue light at 465 nm to excite most green nucleic acid stains, with a two-position amber emission filter cover. It avoids UV entirely, which makes it the safer choice for a teaching laboratory.
This is the alternative to a UV box, and for a school it is usually the better one. Blue light at 465 nm excites most green DNA stains without the eye and skin hazard that makes UV work require a cover, eyewear and supervision. The listing states it can also excite ethidium bromide, so existing EtBr gels can still be read.
The amber cover rests above the viewing surface and gel and filters out the blue light so the fluorescent DNA bands stand out. It is a two-position emission filter cover: flat for general gel viewing, angled for easy access during band excision, and removable entirely for documentation. The listing states the LED light plates and filter layer give an extremely evenly lit surface, and that bands in stained gels can be seen clearly even in ambient light, which matters in a classroom that cannot be darkened.
Viewing surface dimensions and mains supply are not published. Ask for them, along with the stains the unit is validated against, before ordering.
