Lab Armor® Bead Bath

Bead Baths from Lab Armor® are designed with the user in mind and are optimized to work with Lab Armor® Bath Beads. Bead Bath performs all the essentials, including warming, thawing, incubating, chilling and does so while maintaining a constant temperature just like a water bath. These baths deliver exceptional temperature uniformity up to 80°C. The baths are available in 6 L, 14 L, and 20 L sizes, with and without beads included. 

• Uniform Temperatures
• With Bead Bath designed specifically for beads, temperatures are consistent and uniform everywhere in the bath. Thermal uniformity is an amazing ±5 °C at 37 °C and ± 1 °C at 65 °C. Since Bead Bath won't boil off like water, or pose danger of combustion like oil, it is ideal for most applications from 37°C to 400 °C.
• Fast Start
• Bead Bath gets up and running faster and you never need to turn it off. There is nothing to evaporate. Unlike a standard bead-filled water bath, Bead Bath allows you to achieve a new set temperature quickly, without long warm up delays, so you can make quick adjustments.
• Stays Organized
• Unlike water baths that require racks, floats and bottleneck weights, Bead Bath naturally holds things in place without accessories. The types and kinds of vessels that can be used with the Bead Bath aren't limited to water-tight containers. So you can safely incubate multiwall plates and petri dishes-or thaw samples without fear of water wicking under the lids. And vessels can be set into the beads at any angle for better thermal optimization.
• Low Maintenance
• Water baths must be routinely monitored, cleaned and maintained. While it is a good idea to keep an eye on Bead Bath, it rarely needs attention. A bi-weekly or monthly spritz of a biodegradable disinfectant is usually sufficient.

Hoefer® Standard Format Glass Plates for Vertical Systems

Standard format glass plates are for SE660, SE600X Chroma, SE600, SE640, SE410, and SE400 Vertical Gel Electrophoresis Units.

Run as many as four 0.75, 1.0, or 1.5 mm thick gels on SE600 Series units and two gels on the SE400 Series at one time under identical conditions using the double gel capacity Divider Plates. Insert a divider plate between the glass plates that make up a single gel sandwich. Place spacers on each side of the divider plate to form two gel cavities for pouring gels. This two gel “club sandwich” fits into the same casting stand and seals perfectly.

ENDURO™ GDS II Gel Documentation System - GDS II & GDS Touch II

Product Features

• Region of interest (ROI) function allows optimal exposure in less than 30 seconds. No more multiple exposures to get good images!
• Transilluminator good for 30,000 hours so you won't need to buy replacement UV bulbs
• Save photo files as jpeg or 16bit Tiff files ideal for publication
• Made in U.S.A.
• Included fully-featured qualitative software ideal for creating publication and notebook-quality images 

ENDURO™ GDS II Applications

• Visible protein stains like Coomassie blue or silver stain
• Designed for DNA
• Ethidium bromide
• Safe Dyes such as GelGreen® and SYBR™ Safe 

ENDURO™ GDS II and GDS Touch II are the next-generation Gel Documentation Systems from Labnet International. These gel documentation systems are used for visualization of DNA and protein stained within a gel and provide photo documentation of these gels in a laboratory setting.

The GDS II comes in either a 302 nm or 365 nm version and runs on a Windows-based PC (not included).

The GDS Touch II comes in either a 302 nm or 365nm wavelength version with 470 nm epi-blue lights for use with Safe Dyes that eliminate the need for ethium bromide.

Both versions now come with a storage location on top to help maximize bench space and provide a place for accessories.

SmartDoc™ 2.0 Imaging System

• Imaging enclosure works with all common smartphones
• System includes blue light illumination base, orange viewing cover, and orange photo filter
• Ideal for common safe stains (SmartGlow™, SYBR Green, GelGreen™, etc.)
• Visible blue light will not damage DNA
• Gel viewing and gel access for DNA band cutting
• Optional amber viewing glasses, for band excising
• Imaging enclosure can also be used on existing transilluminators

Introducing the SmartDoc™ 2.0 (Item no. E5001-SDB). This complete system has been developed for safely viewing nucleic acids in agarose gels and for capturing quality digital images with a smartphone camera.  Blue light is used instead of UV, which is safer for lab personnel and will not damage DNA samples.

The SmartDoc™ Imaging Enclosure can also be purchased separately (item no. E5000-SD) without the blue light illumination base.  The enclosure by itself can be used on most existing UV transilluminators or blue light transilluminators for smart phone imaging.

The illumination base emits an intense blue light with a peak output of 460 nm for optimum excitation of nucleic acids stained with green fluorescent dyes (SYBR® Green, SmartGlow™, GelStar™, GelGreen™, etc). The orange cover fits on top of the illumination base and acts as a filter to absorb blue light, allowing visualization of the fluorescing samples. The cover can also be set at an angle for gel access and cutting out DNA bands for further study.

The SmartDoc™ imaging enclosure includes an orange photo filter for photography of the gels with a smartphone. An extending adapter can be inserted for full dimension imaging of gels up to 15 x 15 cm or removed for close-up pictures. The enclosure can also be used directly on any other existing UV or blue light transilluminator.  Additional filters are available for imaging gels on a UV transilluminator.  Please see our “Filter and User Guide” to show which filter is best for different imaging applications.

Optional SmartBlue™ Plus Viewing Glasses

Accuris SmartBlue™ Plus Viewing Glasses offer exceptional protection for researchers working with bright blue LED and UV light illuminators. The polycarbonate filter lenses are shatter proof, scratch resistant and block light in the UV (280 nm) to blue (490 nm) wavelengths. In addition, they are compliant with ANSI Z87.1.

These glasses are ideal for general protection when working with hazardous wavelengths and for precision DNA band cutting on a UV or blue light transilluminator. While blocking hazardous UV and blue light, the glasses allow clear visualization of DNA bands stained with Ethidium Bromide, SmartGlow™, SYBR Green and other fluorescent dyes. 

*Always wear appropriate UV protection for eyes and exposed skin when working with UV light sources.
