The Multiband transilluminators accomodate two UV wavelengths in only one system and can therefore be used ideally as well for preparative as for analytical applications.
The Super-Bright Multiband transilluminator ECP-26.LMX represents the top model of this type series, as it combines the above advantage with the advantages of the Super-Bright technology. The quality of gel visualisation and documentation is drastically enhanced, not only for ethidium bromide stained gels, but also for SYBR Green™ and a big number of other fluorophores. Analyses have shown for example, that excitation with 365 nm Super-Bright UV-light leeds to excellent results for Q-Dot dyes.
The Super-Bright transilluminators have a special equipment which results in a very homogeneous illumination of the complete filter plate and in a minimized background signal. Thus, the contrast of the gel is enhanced automatically, so that even weakest bands can be identified. Compared to standard UV transilluminators, up to 25% better results are obtained especially for SYBR Green ™, SYBR Safe ™, SYBR Gold ™ and SYPRO orange ™.
Your benefits:
- Wavelength selector, i.e. ideal for analytical and preparative work
- Optimal results for a big number of fluorophores, e.g. Q-Dots, SYBR ™ dyes or ethidium bromide
- UV tubes almost not visible any more, that means no background signal
- Better contrast, that means even weak bands are easily visible
- Very low amount of infrared light
- Exceptionally homogeneous illumination of the complete filter plate
- Infinite lifetime of the filter
- Special camera filter for maximum transmission of the fluorescent light to the camera
- Ondulex reflector
- Continuosly adjustable UV protective shield
- Stainless steel frame

Superbright describes the new generation of UV tables. The underlying technology was developed by Vilber Lourmat. It is based on a completely new filter plate, which is permeable for UV light only and which does not emit visible light any more. Superbright transilluminators offer many crucial advantages compared to standard transilluminators as for example very clear and homogeneous illumination. Superbright transilluminators are particularly well suited as multi-application devices for many of the fluorescent dyes besides ethidium bromide (e.g. SYBR-Green, SYBR Orange, SYBR-Gold, SYBR-Red, SYPRO-Ruby, Texas Red…).
