• 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.

Enduro™ UV Transilluminators

ENDURO™ Semi Dry Blotter

• Western, Southern, and Northern Blots
• Rapid transfer times
• Uniform head dispersion
• Variable gel thickness
• Minimal buffer volume

The ENDURO™ Semi-Dry Blotter provides great flexibility in a lab since it can be used for all types of blotting: Western, Southern, and Northern. Blotting with the ENDURO™ Semi Dry Blotter typically can be done in 15 to 30 minutes making it a fast and easy way to do all your blotting applications. Set up procedures are easy and economical with little buffer needed. The screw down lid adjusts to varying gel thicknesses and sizes while the platinum coated electrodes provide uniform pressure ensuring even transfers. To provide your lab with total blotting solutions use with our ENDURO™ 250V, 3000mA high current power supply.

Visi-Blue Transilluminators are designed for use with GFP stains. As compared to UV, the blue light will transmit through almost any transparent (plastic, glass, etc.) laboratory equipment. This is essential when monitoring and detecting DNA migration and protein expression in real time.

• Two models are available with surface areas as follows: 21x26cm or 20x40cm
• Select from models with 8-watts or 25-watts
• Amber cover (included) blocks blue light transmission and allows visualization of media above 500nm

These items have been discontinued by the manufacturer.

Several specially designed converter plates convert a transilluminator's 302nm ultraviolet radiation .

• To white light for viewing protein gels, coomassie blue stained or silver stained media. The Converter Plate's uniquely phosphored glass assembly (patent pending) converts the UV radiation via a white diffuser
• Convert UV:

1. To 460-470nm with the Visi-BlueT plate for viewing GFP stains
2. To 365nm UV with the UV/UV plate for preparation and gel excision

• The scratch-resistant glass is mounted in a metal housing for durability
• Rubber seal stops the plate from sliding
• Handles are situated on two sides of the plate for easy handling
• Several standard plate sizes are available; custom sizes are also available

• Increased ultraviolet output and intensity
• No light flicker
• Wider intensity range with variable selection (select models)
• Fast lamp start up
• Universal power supply
• Reduced electrical consumption
• Longer tube life
• Lighter weight
• Improved gel visualization and gel documentation
• UVP's patented 3UV Benchtop Transilluminator provides the selection of 365nm, 302nm and 254nm in one compact unit
• 2UV models offer 302nm and 365nm UV in one model
• Easily view gels under 365nm longwave UV for extended periods of time avoiding photonicking damage. Researchers can use the 302nm midrange to increase the fluorescence for photodocumentation. Shortwave 254nm UV is used to irradiate samples
• All Benchtop Transilluminator models are compact, lightweight units
• These 8-watt models provide a low cost alternative to the High Performance UV Transilluminators
• A variety of filter area work surface sizes are available
• Hinged, clear UV blocking cover, included with each transilluminator, is adjustable for access to the filter surface
• 2 year warranty

WARNING: Transilluminators are powerful sources of ultraviolet radiation which can cause serious damage to unprotected eyes and skin. Read the ultraviolet Caution Information before operating any transilluminators.

* Except M-10 which has standard ballast, 115V unit.

Intensity :

• Select models offer single intensity other models include variable intensity. Refer to the part numbers tab for information.
• Variable intensity settings-High/Medium/Low 
  
• High setting allows for UV excitation of fluorophores on gels for routine photography. Medium is excellent for viewing and quick single-band excision. Low setting allows for positioning and preparation of gels, excising multiple bands, and focusing for photography.

UV Source: Refer to the Part Numbers tab for specific wavelengths for each model

Watts: 8 watts, except M-10 which is 6 watts

Dimensions:

• 3UV Models: 11D x 14W x 5.4H in. (279 x 356 x 137mm) 
  
• 2UV Models: 11D x 14W x 4.8H in. (279 x 356 x 122mm) 
  
• Single UV/Variable Intensity Models (Except M-10): 11D x 14W x 4.8H in. (279 x 356 x 122mm) 
  
• M-10: 7.25D x 10.25W x 4.5H in. (184 x 260 x 114mm) 
  
• Height includes UV blocking cover (all models)

Note about UV: UVP refers to its midrange UV products as 302nm. Other manufacturers may say 300nm, 310nm or 312nm. The spectral output of these units is the same as UVP's 302nm.
