What is a UV transilluminator?

UV transilluminators use ultraviolet light (UVR) to observe proteins, DNA, RNA and their precursor molecules during gel electrophoresis. This study aimed to assess the exposure of staff to UV radiation while using the UV transilluminator.

What is the use of UV transilluminator?

A UV transilluminator is commonly used in life science laboratories to visualise target DNA and proteins. It is sometimes referred to as a gel light box or laboratory light box and works by emitting high-intensity UV radiation through its viewing surface.

What is the function of UVP transilluminator?

A UV transilluminator is an essential tool used in molecular biology and biochemistry labs to visualize nucleic acids (like DNA and RNA) or proteins that have been stained with fluorescent dyes. Here are its key functions:

Visualization of DNA/RNA: After performing gel electrophoresis, DNA or RNA fragments are stained with fluorescent dyes (such as ethidium bromide or SYBR Green). When exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light on the transilluminator, the dye fluoresces, making the nucleic acids visible for documentation or further analysis.

Protein Visualization: UV transilluminators can also be used for visualizing proteins stained with specific fluorescent dyes in polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE).

Gel Cutting for Extraction: The UV light helps researchers locate specific bands of DNA/RNA on a gel, allowing them to cut out desired fragments for downstream processes like cloning or sequencing.

Quantification and Analysis: The intensity of the fluorescence can provide rough quantification of nucleic acid concentration or the relative abundance of specific proteins or nucleic acid fragments.
