Introducing the SmartDoc 2.0. This complete system has been developed for safely viewing nucleic acids in agarose gels and also for capturing quality digital images with a smart phone camera. Blue light is used instead of UV, which is safer for lab personnel and will not damage DNA samples.

The illumination base emits an intense blue light with a peak output of 460nm for optimum excitation of nucleic acids stained with green fluorescent dyes (SYBR® Green, SmartGlow™, GelStar™, GelGreen™, etc). The orange cover fits on top of the illumination base and acts as a filter to absorb blue light, allowing visualisation of the fluorescing samples. The cover can also be set at an angle for gel access and cutting out DNA bands for further study.

Optional amber glasses are available. These are ideal for users that are doing a lot of band excision work, as they eliminate the need for the orange cover allowing full access to the gels.

The SmartDoc™ imaging enclosure includes an orange photo filter for photography of the gels with a smart phone. An extending adapter can be inserted for full dimension imaging of gels up to 15 x 15 cm or removed for close up pictures. The enclosure can also be used directly on any other existing UV or blue light transilluminator. Additional filters are available for imaging gels on a UV transilluminator.

The SmartDoc Imaging Enclosure can also be purchased separately without the blue light illumination base. The enclosure by itself can be used on most existing UV transilluminators or blue light transilluminators for smart phone imaging. For imaging gels on a UV transilluminator, there are 2 optional photo filters available: 535nm filter for imaging green stains on UV light, or 590nm filter for imaging EtBr on UV light. An extending adapter is included with the enclosure and can be inserted for full dimension imaging of gels up to 15 x 15 cm. Or remove the adapter for close up pictures or smaller gels.

When using the SmartDoc enclosure on transilluminators with a large illuminating surface (exceeding 19x19cm), use ELE1252 to block light around the edge.
