FAQ - UV Transilluminator for Gel Imaging

  • What is the difference between 312 nm and 365 nm?
    The optimal wavelength depends on the fluorescence dye used. 312 nm is suitable for strong excitation of EtBr, while 365 nm is commonly used with safer dyes and workflows requiring reduced DNA damage.
  • What does the high contrast filter do?
    The high contrast filter helps reduce unwanted background glow during gel imaging, making fluorescent bands easier to observe and capture.
  • Can this UV transilluminator be used with Bio-Pyramid systems?
    Yes. MBP-UV312 and MBP-UV365 are suitable for compatible Bio-Pyramid and Pict LaBox gel documentation workflows.
  • Is the orange cover version required?
    Not always. The orange cover version is useful when a cover-style viewing setup is preferred. Standard and orange-cover versions are both available.
Summary MBP-UV312 and MBP-UV365 are high contrast UV transilluminators designed for DNA, RNA and agarose gel imaging. Available in 312 nm and 365 nm wavelengths, they provide strong fluorescence excitation with reduced background glow.
Need help choosing the right wavelength? Please confirm the stain, gel type and downstream workflow. 312 nm and 365 nm are selected depending on fluorescence intensity, DNA damage considerations and laboratory protocol.
