UVIvue Ultraviolet Transilluminator

 

• Widest range available

• Superb quality

• Electronic ballast now as standard*

• Stainless steel filter frames and longlife filters

• Dual wavelength combinations

•  UV blocking cover

*(exception of dual wavelength & white light)

For the optimum visualisation of agarose or polyacrylamide gels, UVItec offers what is probably the widest available range of ultraviolet transilluminators. The ‘mini’ range takes 8W tubes and can have filter sizes up to 21 x 26cm. With the standard sized range, filter sizes up to 20 x 40cm are possible. All models are of superb quality with stainless steel filter frames, longlife filters and highly polished ‘ondulex’ reflectors for ultimate efficiency. An adjustable UV blocking cover is included to protect the user from harmful UV. The range now includes electronic ballast technology as standard with the exception of the dual wavelength and the white light models. This new technology reduces flicker, provides instant switch on and allows dual intensity to be a standard feature.

Extensive range

There are more than 30 models in the entire UVItec range, including two sizes of unit (mini and standard), five sizes of viewing filter and three different wavelength ranges. Mini units (BXT, BTS) have a small footprint of 34 x 26cm while standard units (SXT, STS) have a footprint of 47 x 33cm. Filter sizes of 15 x 15cm, 20 x 20cm and 21 x 26cm are available for mini units while standard unit filters can be up to 20 x 40cm. Wavelength ranges of maximum 254nm, 312nm and 365nm are available as well as dual wavelength and white light models.

Highest performance

The highly polished ‘ondulex’ reflectors positioned behind the UV tubes give the highest possible efficiency of UV output, superior to that achieved by plain aluminium. The filter material is also chosen for maximum transmission of the chosen wavelength range as well as long life usage (unlimited at 365 and 312nm, up to 3000 hours at 254nm).

Designed for rough treatment

 

The high quality, stainless steel filter frame is resistant to chemicals and scratching. The epoxy painted body is also chemical resistant and the unit design eliminates leakage of liquids into the interior.

Facilitates gel handling

The transfer and positioning of wet gels onto the transilluminator surface is facilitated by the smooth, scratch resistant stainless steel filter frame and the highly polished filter surface.

The angle-adjustable UV blocking cover offers hands-free protection to users from the harmful UV rays.

Space saving

 The mini units offer efficient, high-powered UV illumination of gels and blots up to 21 x 26cm in size, while having a footprint of only 34 x 26cm. What is more, the mini sized dual wavelength models allow illumination in two different wavelengths from a single compact unit. A dual UV/white light model is also available for illumination of fluorescent and visible gels of up to 20 x 20cm.

ultravue transilluminator

The use of special filter material in the Ultravue transilluminator greatly enhances contrast, making fluorescent bands easier to see both by eye and with documentation systems such as UVIsave, UVIdoc and UVIpro. The special filter eliminates visible light output thereby reducing the need for filtering to isolate the fluorescent band signal.

 

Enhanced viewing with ethidium and sybr® stains

Gels stained both with ethidium bromide and with sybr® green are viewed by eye more easily on the Ultravue transilluminator. Since background light is eliminated, no filtering is required, and no signal is lost. The dark, uniform filter surface provides a high contrast background enabling viewing of even the faintest bands.

 

Enhanced documentation

The absence of visible background light and minimal IR output from the Ultravue transilluminator enable broad transmission camera filters to be used. This ensures that maximum transmission of the fluorescent signal is always achieved. For sybr® green documentation, Ultravue is preferable to visible (blue light) illumination in which a large part of the signal is always lost while filtering out the blue background light.

UVItec Chemiluminescence Imaging Introduction

UVItec proudly introduces two ultra-high performance imaging systems for chemiluminescence and fluorescence documentation.  Both systems have unrivalled sensitivity and resolution. 

The UVIchemi is a high end dedicated chemiluminescence documentation system for users who require fast and accurate detection with no sacrifice in sensitivity or quality. 
 

The UVIprochemi system superbly combines ultra-high sensitivity chemiluminescence and fluorescence documentation in a flexible system. A set of filter options and overhead (epi-) UV and white light illumination ensure that the system can be optimised for a number of different fluorescent applications.
 

 

Our ultra sensitive, cooled CCD camera means that chemiluminescence images can now be captured easily, utilising the full resolution of the camera. Binning mode, which is often used to increase the sensitivity of a camera (but greatly decreases image resolution) is no longer necessary. Both systems have a unique additional cooling system for handling high ambient temperatures.

Recent improvements in cooled CCD camera technology have resulted in a great leaps forward in both sensitivity and resolution. Chemiluminescence documentation has now come of age and offers applications such as accurate quantification that were not previously available when using X-ray film.  

At UVItec we quickly recognised that chemiluminescence places unique demands on an image documentation system. Conventional CCD cameras are unsuited to the rigors of chemiluminescence documentation. Chemiluminescent reactions often produce an extremelyweak light signal that requires far longer exposure times than are necessary for conventional fluorescence documentation. Due to the properties of CCD sensors, long exposure times mean that heat generated by electronic circuitry of the camera cause the background noise levels to increase with the exposure time.  Deep cooled CCD cameras are therefore used to eliminate the high levels of background. Our tests have shown that the UVItec deep cooled CCD camera produces negligible noise levels even at exposures of over 30 minutes.

Major Advantages of Chemiluminescence CCD documentation are:
 

• Sensitivity - CCD systems are more sensitive than X-ray film
• Quantification- our analysis software enables quantification of chemiluminescence samples

• Elimination of radioactivity - In many cases, hazardous and expensive radioactive protocols can be replaced with chemiluminescence without sacrificing sensitivity

• Simplicity and Speed - shorter exposure times and ‘one click’ image acquisition reduce the amount of time spent acquiring an image

UVIsoft Gel Analysis Family

 

Special Features and Benefits

In designing UVIsoft analysis software, we have thought of everything. As a result, all UVIsoft analysis packages are:

User-Friendly: every aspect of UVIsoft is designed with ease of use in mind. This includes the very first step of opening an image, which is facilitated by the ability to choose the file from a “thumbnail” image gallery.

 

Powerful: all UVIsoft analysis  packages include the option of reliable, fully automatic background subtraction for band quantification and optional methods for correction of gel distortions during molecular weight calculations.

 

Flexible: Attractive as it may sound, “One Step” analysis places excessive reliance on automation and can detract from accurate gel or blot analysis. Analysis in UVIsoft packages is step-wise and at each analysis step, there is the facility for the user to check and (if necessary) edit the results of automatic analysis processes.

 

 

Versatile: In addition to the incredibly broad range of analysis functions available in UVIsoft, there are also functions to facilitate data presentation, reports and posters. The “Print Designer” function enables data tables plus images from all analysis fields to be automatically “pasted” into a presentation or report along with explanatory text. The report can then be saved as a template, so the same report can be prepared from other data.

UVIsave Gel Documentation System

 

All the flexibility of an instant photography system, combined with the speed, versatility and precision of a video documentation system. Works with any UV or white light transilluminator. Simply place camera hood over gel, optimise image whilst viewing it on the built-in 5.6" LCD screen, freeze image, then print to video printer or save on compact flash.

Unlike instant photography and digital camera systems, video documentation systems allow the optimisation of your gel image before you produce a print. This means no more wastage of time and expensive photographic film while you attempt to produce the best possible image. With UVIsave, you can adjust zoom, aperture, focus and exposure time and see the effects of the adjustments before image capture. This reduces the cost of an optimised image ‘hard copy’ from as much as several pounds with instant photography, to a few pennies with UVIsave. Also, since you can see an instant preview of any image adjustments, the entire process takes only seconds.  What is more,

UVIsave includes a compact flash drive, which allows the captured image to be saved as a computer file (TIFF format), opening up a huge range of modification, printing and analysis options. UVIgeltec software is supplied for this purpose.

UVIlink Ultraviolet Crosslinker

 

• Programmable microprocessor control

• UV energy monitored automatically

• Compact footprint with large interior

• Observation window – UV blocking

• Membrane keypad operation

• Clear LED display

• Safety interlocked

Simple yet versatile

The UVIlink CL 508 Crosslinker is a fully microprocessor controlled unit especially designed to give the best possible results when binding nucleic acids to membranes. The correct ultraviolet dosage can be set using the membrane switch keypad, in either energy units (Joules) or time (seconds). There are nine possible presets for energy exposure and nine presets for time exposure as well as manual user selection in either units.

Superb quality results in less time

Ultraviolet crosslinking of DNA and RNA to nylon or nitrocellulose membranes is now well established as a laboratory technique and there is considerable published work on the topic. Time saved from UV crosslinking over the conventional vacuum oven baking method is considerable – seconds or minutes as opposed to hours.

Small and safe without compromising efficiency

UVIlink CL 508 provides a compact unit occupying minimum bench space with a footprint of only 350 x 350 mm and a spacious interior chamber of 270 x 300 x 140 mm. As with all UVItec products, safety is a major consideration so the CL508 door is safety interlocked against opening during operation and the observation window in the door is ultraviolet blocking.

The ultraviolet energy is continuously monitored by an accurate microprocessor controlled photo feedback system which compensates for variation in output from the UV sources. In this way consistency of operation and maximum efficiency are maintained.

Applications include:

• Fixing of nucleic acids to nylon or nitrocellulose membranes

• Southern or Northern blotting, dot blotting and colony or ple lifts

• Elimination or reduction of PCR contamination

• Nicking ethidium bromide stained DNA in agarose gels

• Gene mapping for creating cleavage inhibiting thymine dimers

• Screening RecA mutation

• Ultraviolet curing of polymers, adhesives and inks

UVIdoc Gel Documentation System

 

UVIdoc is a superbly designed low cost documentation system featuring a unique combination of simplicity and versatility

It operates as a stand-alone system for producing high quality thermal prints of gel images. However, the compact flash slot also allows image capture direct to a flash card  (as TIFF or JPG files). The images produced can be saved as a suberb 12 bit file, the format can be chosen by the user. The images can then be loaded into the UVIgeltec software which enables image manipulation, annotation and simple analysis. Saturation monitoring of the live image ensures that fully quantifiable images may be captured first time.

 

• Ultra-simple, low cost documentation systems 
• 12 bit file format for increased dynamic range
• GAS9500 now with 5.6 inch TFT screen
• Ideal for multi-user environments 
• Compact flash for saving images as TIFF or JPG file formats 
• Light saturation of image detectable on monitor or LCD screen 
• Fully networkable allowing easy image transfer to and from a PC.  

A brand new unique feature for the UVIdoc is the addition of a network card into the darkroom cabinet. This will enable the user to install the UVIdoc onto their local network allowing fast and easy access to images already stored on the UVIdoc. Random Access memory (RAM) will allow 30 images to be stored for easy transfer.

UVIdoc is available in two versions. GAS9500 has a built-in 5.6 inch LCD screen which replaces the CCTV monitor supplied with GAS9000. All other features and functions are the same for both systems.

Because both models of UVIdoc are so simple to operate, minimal training is required and high quality images can be acquired in seconds. This, combined with safety features, makes either UVIdoc ideal for environments with a high number of regular or casual users. The user interface includes a wipe-clean six-button key-pad conveniently positioned at eye level. A safety-interlocking darkroom door protects the user from harmful UV output.

No more queues for documentation

Many laboratories have already discovered the benefits of UVIdoc speed and simplicity. With no learning curve and only a few buttons to press, a high quality print out or image file on flash or floppy can be produced in seconds, making darkroom queues a thing of the past. For the more advanced user, images can be transferred from the UVIdoc by a local network connection.

Multi-user UVIdoc  

UVIdoc is currently in use in many research departments as a central facility for large numbers of users. The safety, speed and robustness of UVIdoc have even made it an essential tool in many teaching laboratories, the ultimate multi-user environment!

Multi-purpose UVIdoc  

UVIdoc’s special combination of simplicity and functionality has made it indispensable to a wide range of users. The saturation monitoring function means that UVIdoc can be used by researchers who wish to quantify their gel images and also ensures no loss of detail from the image due to saturation. The system can therefore be used on a variety of levels, from simple hard copy generation, to more sophisticated image acquisition for analysis.

UVIdoc – dedicated to simplicity  

The unique design of UVIdoc incorporates a user interface which is simplicity itself. Exposure time is varied by pressing a ‘+’ button to increase and a ‘–’ button to decrease. The exposure time is in 17 pre-set steps, ranging from 40ms up to 10secs. Just four other buttons control features such as live/freeze modes, saturation monitoring, save to flash or disk and read from flash or disk. All functions are accessed by a single button push.

Standard components include  

• Darkroom and Control Unit
• BXT-20M Mid range (312nm) dual intensity Transilluminator
• SONY CCD Camera
• Zoom lens and filter
• UVIdoc software
   

Optional Extras

• Mitsubishi P93 Thermal Printer
• UV to white light conversion screen with 26 x 21cm active area (optional extra)

UVIchrompro tlc Documentation System

UVIchrom-pro is an inexpensive system, specially designed for PC-based documentation and analysis of thin layer chromatography (TLC) plates. It is similar to the UVIpro system (see p4), but has a different darkroom cabinet and UV light source, plus a slightly modified software package in which the Molecular weight analysis function is replaced by Rf value calculation.

The UVIchrom darkroom hood is designed for efficient overhead UV illumination and imaging of thin layer chromatography plates. It incorporates four powerful (15 watt) UV tubes of optional wavelengths, positioned two on each side, above and close to the sample for maximum efficiency and uniformity of illumination. The camera is fixed to a special central mounting unit. White light illumination to aid sample positioning is also incorporated into the hood. The cabinet will allow imaging of plates in excess of 20 x 20cm.

UVIchrom can also be used with a high quality (3 CCD chip) colour camera and a dye sublimation printer. These can be supplied (at additional cost) in place of the standard 8-bit monochrome CCD camera and b+w thermal printer.

 

 

• Simple, low cost system specially designed for TLC plate documentation

 

• Specially designed darkroom cabinet for efficient and powerful overhead illumination of TLC plates   

• Specially adapted UVIpro software allows basic image analysis with Rf value calculation for TLC spots  

• Optional 3 CCD Colour Camera plus Dye Sublimation printer for exceptional results

In addition to the standard, PC-based UVIchrom-pro system (PAS-5000), there is also a stand-alone (UVIdoc-type) system, the UVIchrom-doc (PAS-4000). This has the same darkroom cabinet, camera and printer as the UVIchrom-pro, but the PC acquisition card and software are replaced by a stand-alone control unit offering the same features and functions as the UVIdoc system. UVIchrom-doc is not available with the colour camera and printer option.

UVIlink

Ultraviolet Crosslinker CL 508

Programmable microprocessor control

UV energy monitored automatically
Compact footprint with large interior
Observation window - UV blocking
Membrane keypad operation
Clear LED display
Safety interlocked

Applications include:

Fixing of nucleic acids to nylon or nitrocelulose membranes, Southern or Northern blot or dot blotting and colony or plaque lifts. Elimination or reduction of PCR contamination. Nicking ethidium bromide stained DNA in agerose gels. Gene mapping for creating cleavage inhibiting thymene dimers. Screening RecA mutation. Ultraviolet curing of polymers, adhesives and inks. Ultraviolet sterilisation.

The UVIlink CL 508 Crosslinker is a fully microprocessor controlled unit especially designed for the best possible results binding nucleic acids to membranes. The correct ultraviolet dosage can be set using the membrane switch keypad, in either energy units (Joules) or time (seconds). There are nine possible presets for energy exposure and nine presets for time exposure as well as operator selection manual control in either units

Ultraviolet crosslinking of DNA and RNA to nylon or nitrocelulose membranes is now well established as a laboratory technique and there is considerable published work on the topic -UVItec can provide a list of references. Time saving from UV crosslinking over the conventional vacuum oven baking method is considerable -seconds or minutes as opposed to hours. Now the UVIlink CL 508 provides a compact unit occupying minimum bench space with a footprint of only 350 x 350mm and a spacious usable interior chamber of 270 x 300mm. As with all UVItec products safety is a major consideration and so the CL 508 door is safety interlocked against opening during operation and the observation window in the door is ultraviolet blocking. The ultraviolet energy is continuously monitored by a microprocessor controlled photo feedback system which compensates for variation in output from the UV sources, particularly tube ageing. In this way consistency of operation and maximum efficiency is maintained
