Safecloner
SafeCloner is a new tool for safe UV-free visualisation of DNA gels stained with ethidium bromide, SYBR
Safe and SYBR green. SafeCloner’s special filter glasses and blue epi-LED illuminator allow the operator to
view DNA gels at greater contrast and sensitivity than is possible with standard long wavelength UV
transilluminators. Blue epi-LED illumination of gels is entirely harmless to DNA and operator alike, ensuring
that the DNA within the gel remains free of UV-induced damage. Consequently, DNA fragments isolated
from gels viewed using SafeCloner have dramatically improved cloning efficiency compared to DNA
fragments eluted from UV-illuminated gels.
CSL-ETBRCLONER Complete unit for safe viewing of ethidium bromide stained gels
CSL-ET/SYBRCLONER Complete unit for safe and DNA damage free viewing of ethidium bromide, SYBR green and SYBR gold stained gels
Each SafeCloner unit includes LED illuminator for gels up to 15x15cm, filter glasses and a mains plug-in power supply.

uv transilluminators
Available in single and dual wavelength formats, our
transilluminators are supplied either as standalone units
or with the microDOC, as part of a fully integrated gel
documentation system. With a large surface area, each
transilluminator serves as the perfect workstation for
viewing and working with fluorescently-stained protein
and nucleic acid gels.
Standard features include a high/low intensity safety
switch and an efficient starter that allows each of the
six 8-Watt UV tubes to energise quickly without
flickering, while special filter glass minimises unwanted
background light. All of these features maximise
contrast and sensitivity, allowing even the faintest
fluorescent gels to be viewed. Two dual wavelength
models offer added flexibility and convenience.
The UVIlink UV crosslinker is especially designed for
binding nucleic acids to membranes. A membrane keypad
facilitates manual or preset control of the desired UV
dosage and exposure time, while a highly accurate
microprocessor-controlled photo-feedback system
maintains uniform output from each of the crosslinker’s five
8-Watt UV bulbs. Other features comprise safety interlock
switches to prevent accidental UV leakage during operation,
a clearly visible LED, plus a large interior chamber and
small footprint area. The crosslinker may be used in a
variety of applications, such as colony or plaque lifts, UV
sterilisation and gene mapping or DNA damage studies.
