  • Page 2 DANGER Ultraviolet radiation emitted from this product. Avoid exposure. ALWAYS WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING. EXPOSURE MAY CAUSE PREMATURE AGING OF THE SKIN AND CANCER. ALWAYS WEAR PROTECTIVE EYEWEAR; FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN SEVERE BURNS OR LONG TERM INJURY TO EYE. Never look directly into the lamp.
  • Page 3 INTRODUCTION Spectroline ultraviolet transilluminators produce the high irradiance needed to excite fluorescence in electrophoresis gels and thin layer chromatograms. They are also ideal for use in forensic sci- ence, pharmaceutical quality control, and much more. Each unit offers high UV intensity, uniform irradiance and cool operation. They feature a wide variety of filter sizes, rugged construction and simple operation.

  • Page 4: Unpacking And Inspection

    OPERATION UNPACKING AND INSPECTION 1.Carefully unpack and inspect the transilluminator for possible damage in shipment. If any damage is noted, immediately notify the carrier and supplier before using the unit. 2.Save the shipping carton and packing materials for future storing or shipping of the unit.
  • Page 5 GENERAL FUNCTIONAL CHECKS NOTE: To produce maximum fluorescent contrast, these tests should be made in a darkened room or in conjunction with a Spectroline UV viewing cabinet (see Spectroline UV Viewing Cabinets). WARNING Observe UV safety precautions before turning on the unit. 1.Activate the TR and TS models by pressing the ‘‘ON’’...
  • Page 6 UVT-150A UV-TRANSMITTING FILTER PROTECTOR To facilitate cutting of gels without damage to the filter glass, the UVT-150A UV-transmitting filter protector is available separately. This accessory also protects the filter from damage caused by acci- dentally dropping small objects on the transilluminator. In addition, since buffer and ethidium bromide will not come in contact with the filter, it eliminates clouding of the glass and high background fluorescence.
  • Page 7 Fig. 2 SPECTROLINE UV VIEWING CABINETS Spectroline UV viewing cabinets provide increased fluorescent contrast of samples and eliminate the need for separate UV pro- tection. The sample is placed on the transilluminator filter and safe- ly observed through the UV-absorbing viewing window of the cab- inet.
