Working Principle

Blue Light Transilluminator utilizes a blue LED light source with a wavelength of approximately 470 nm to excite fluorescent dyes doped in nucleic acid or protein gels, which emit fluorescence at specific wavelengths, usually green or orange, after being excited by blue light. The uniform blue light emission at the bottom of the instrument avoids scattered light interference and, combined with an orange filter, effectively blocks the excitation light so that the observer can clearly see the glowing DNA or protein bands in the gel. This principle not only ensures the clarity of observation, but also improves operational safety by avoiding the use of UV light.
