Midrange UV Transilluminator – 7 × 14cm Filter [1835]

The Midrange UV Transilluminator is a reliable and easy‑to‑use laboratory device designed specifically for the visualisation of DNA stained with ethidium bromide. With a practical 7 × 14cm UV filter area, this compact transilluminator is ideally sized for viewing gels produced in most Edvotek® electrophoresis experiment kits.

Providing clear and consistent illumination, the transilluminator allows students and teachers to easily observe DNA banding patterns following agarose gel electrophoresis. Its midrange UV output delivers excellent visibility while supporting safer classroom and teaching laboratory use.

Designed with safety in mind, the unit features a UV‑blocking protective cover to reduce user exposure and a built‑in automatic power cut‑off switch that turns off the UV light immediately when the cover is opened. These features make it particularly well suited for supervised educational settings.
