LED505-TR60W
505 nm High-Power Green LED Transilluminator
The LED505-TR60W is a high-power 505 nm green LED transilluminator designed for UV-free fluorescence gel imaging and gel cutting.
It provides efficient excitation for nucleic acid stains with absorption peaks around 490-510 nm, enabling high-sensitivity detection with dyes such as EtBr, GelRed and SYBR Gold.
This model uses direct illumination from below. Compared with dark-field models, it emphasizes brightness and cutting workability, making it suitable when stronger excitation power is required.

High-Power Direct Illumination
Super high-power 60W-class output helps detect weak fluorescence bands and provides enough brightness for gel cutting work.
A 25-chip high-power LED array and diffuser plate provide uniform direct illumination from below.
The 505 nm green LED is a safer alternative to UV, helping reduce sample damage and user exposure risk.
Compound Dichroic Filter
The compound dichroic filter cuts unwanted long-wavelength components from the LED light and helps suppress background glow.
This improves the visibility of faint fluorescence bands, especially in direct-illumination gel imaging workflows.
Auto-Off Function
The auto-off function turns off the transilluminator after approximately 20 minutes, helping prevent gels from drying if the light is accidentally left on.
Continuous operation is also possible by deactivating the auto-off setting.
Large Luminous Surface for Gel Cutting
Luminous surface size: 120 x 130 mm
The 120 x 130 mm luminous area provides a practical working area for gel cutting.
The chemically tempered glass surface is resistant to breakage, supporting safer cutting operations.
Removable Orange Observation Cover
The orange sharp-cut filter cover cuts excitation light below 560 nm and allows safer visual observation during gel cutting.
The cover can be attached and removed easily, and the hinge torque can be adjusted with a screwdriver.
Compatible with Pict LaBox and Bio-Pyramid Mini
Pict LaBox Compatible
The LED505-TR60W can be combined with Pict LaBox for gel observation, gel cutting and image documentation using a digital camera system.
Bio-Pyramid Mini Compatible
A compact gel documentation setup can be built by combining the LED505-TR60W with Bio-Pyramid Mini system.

470 nm vs 505 nm Selection Guide
| 470 nm Model | 505 nm Model | |
|---|---|---|
| Excitation wavelength | 470 nm blue LED | 505 nm green LED |
| Recommended stains | SYBR Green / SYBR Safe / GelGreen / Midori Green | EtBr / GelRed / SYBR Gold / SYPRO Red / Flamingo / DsRed / YFP |
| Main selection point | Choose when your fluorescent stain has strong excitation around 450-490 nm. | Choose when your fluorescent stain has strong excitation or absorption peaks around 490-510 nm. |
| Safety note | Both models use visible LED excitation and are UV-free alternatives for gel imaging. The best model should be selected based on the excitation characteristics of the fluorescent reagent. | |
