FAQ
Our gel documentation systems are compatible with a wide range of gel types commonly used in molecular biology and protein research. For nucleic acids, they can image DNA and RNA gels stained with fluorescent dyes such as ethidium bromide or SYBR Safe. Systems with blue light excitation are also suitable for non-toxic stains like GelGreen, providing a safer option that protects DNA from UV damage. For protein work, our systems can visualise gels stained with Coomassie Blue, Silver Stain, or detect chemiluminescent and fluorescent Western blots, offering flexibility across multiple applications in research, diagnostics, and educational laboratories.
Choosing the right gel documentation system for your lab depends on the types of gels you run, the stains you use, and the level of sensitivity you need. For routine DNA or RNA gels, a UV-based system provides reliable results, while blue-light systems are safer and ideal for non-toxic dyes. If your lab also works with protein gels or Western blots, a multi-mode system that handles nucleic acids and proteins offers maximum flexibility. Consider factors like camera sensitivity, software for image analysis, safety features, and future workflow needs to select a system that balances performance, versatility, and cost.
Yes, our gel documentation systems are well-suited for teaching and educational laboratories. They combine ease of use, safety, and reliable imaging, allowing students to quickly learn gel visualisation without extensive training. Blue-light systems provide a safer alternative to UV for classroom settings, while intuitive software and auto-exposure features ensure consistent results across multiple users. With compact designs and flexible imaging capabilities, our systems make it simple for educators to demonstrate DNA, RNA, and protein analysis while maintaining a safe and efficient learning environment.
To clean the transilluminator surface after gel imaging, first turn off the system and allow it to cool completely. Then, gently wipe the surface with a soft, lint-free cloth or tissue lightly moistened with 70% ethanol or a mild detergent solution. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or strong solvents, as these can damage the glass or light source. Regular cleaning after each use helps maintain optimal image quality and prolongs the life of your gel documentation system.
UV gel documentation systems use ultraviolet light to excite traditional fluorescent dyes like Ethidium Bromide, while blue-light systems use visible blue LEDs to work with safer, non-toxic dyes such as SYBR Safe or GelGreen. Blue-light systems are generally safer for both users and DNA samples, making them ideal for downstream applications, whereas UV systems may offer slightly higher sensitivity for classic dyes.
