Key Features:

• No UV so increased safety for lab personnel
• Blue light does not damage DNA
• Compact and easy to cut gels
• Illuminates a wide range of blue light-sensitive dyes 

The new Syngene UltraSlim-LED illuminator uses a high intensity LED array that can illuminate a range of blue light-activated dyes including GelRed, GelGreen, SYBRSafe, SYBR Green, SYBR Gold, SYPRO Orange, SYPRO Ruby, EtBr and the new UltraPower DNA safe dye. The UltraSlim-LED provides uniform and bright excitation across gels up to 12 x 7 cm to identify even the faintest of bands. The LED array is safe to skin and eyes and does not damage DNA.

All UltraSlim-LED units are powered by a 24V power supply. The overall dimensions are 21 cm x 21 cm x 3 cm (D x W x H) and the unit weighs 2.3 Kg. The UltraSlim-LED can be used in any Syngene darkroom or as a stand-alone unit.

• Does not damage DNA - no photonicking
• Compact and portable
• Suitable for viewing gels up to 20 cm x 16 cm

• Uniform light generated by 224 high intensity LEDs: 5% CV across the full filter area

The UltraBright-LED is a new generation of blue light transilluminator. The UltraBright-LED has two side-mounted high intensity LED arrays. This produces uniform and bright excitation at 470 nm making it suitable for a wide range of dyes. This includes GelGreen, GelRed, SYBR Green, SYBR Gold, SYBR Safe, UltraSafe Blue and even Ethidium Bromide- stained DNA gels.

Gels up to 20 x 16 cm can be viewed. The use of special filter material in the lid of the UltraBright transilluminator greatly enhances the contrast of bands and provides ideal viewing conditions for image capture and band cutting.

The UltraBright-LED can be used in Syngene G:BOX gel imaging systems or as a stand-alone unit.

A range of UV transilluminators are available for Syngene gel imaging systems. The transilluminators feature special lighting reflectors to ensure a more even illumination across the sample area. The following options are offered:

Transilluminators are available with 20cm x 20cm, 20cm x 30cm or 25cm x 30cm sample viewing areas. Please note that certain sizes may not be compatible with specific gel imaging systems because of that system's camera specifications. Please contact Discovery to confirm compatibility.

Syngene now offers an advanced lighting system for their G:BOX gel imaging product line that incorporates  a range of modular epi illumination sources for the excitation of an extensive selection of commercially available dyes. The new epi lighting system offers the following modules: 

White light


Ultraviolet light




Red, green and blue (RGB) modules

The introduction of Syngene's unique LED "plug and play" lighting systems for new G:BOX systems will now allow a user to select only those wavelength modules that they require for their specific application(s). Each lighting module emits a specific colour and is matched with a dedicated filter. The modules simply plug into a lighting gantry (optional extra) which is situated below the white light fixture in the darkroom. Once plugged into the gantry the module is automatically registered by Syngene's new GeneSys darkroom control and image acquisition software.  Up to 4 modules can be plugged into the lighting gantry on each side of the darkroom. It is possible to fit identical modules to increase intensity or to use a number of modules with different wavelengths. Modules are normally fitted in matched pairs with one on either side of the darkroom.
 
There are seven different modules to choose from. Modules denoted with an (M) are specifically designed for  imaging samples stained with multiple dyes (multiplexing).

Module type	Wavelength nm	Filter type	Applications
Blue	465	Cut off	General
Blue (M)	465	Band pass	Close range multiplex apps
Green	520	Cut off	General
Green (M)	520	Band pass	Close range multiplex apps
Red	635	Cut off	General
Red (M)	635	Band pass	Close range multiplex apps
Far Red	680	Band pass	Close range multiplex apps

The new LED gantries can be field-fitted by a competent engineer while each LED can be plugged into or removed by any user.

Syngene has just introduced a new white light table for the GENi and also for the G:BOX range of gel imaging systems. The table is conveniently hinged to the back of the gel imaging darkroom so that it can be folded out of the way when not in use. 

Syngene still offers their NovaGlo visible converter screen for all visible light applications and the blue converter screen for blue excitation dyes.



A safety screen is also available to protect users from UV exposure while working with the transilluminator or viewing gels outside of the darkroom.

A wide range of filters are available for UV (short, mid and long pass), blue light applications, images stained with Cy2, Cy3 and Cy5 dyes, specialty filters for Qdots and matching filters for Syngene's plug-and-play epi lighting system (please see above).
