Description
SMOBIO’s B-BOX™ is a long wavelength, blue light LED epi-illuminator. It is compact in design and robust in structure. The B-BOX™ epi-illuminator provides an unprecedented level of safety for its user due to its non-UV light source and a low operating voltage of only 12 Volts, as well as its capability working with non-carcinogenic DNA/ protein dye. The B-BOX™ comes with high quality non-flickering LED light that is highly sensitive for DNA and protein dye. B-BOX™ can greatly ease the routine chore of gel extraction, enabling easy visualization and gel cutting even in bright ambient light. The multi-angle filter plate (Cat. No. VE0102) provides optimal angles for gel cutting, visualization, and documentation. The B-BOX™ also comes with amber colored filter goggles (Cat. No. VE0103) for gel cutting and visualization. The Phox™ Photobox (Cat. No. VE0104) provides a mini darkroom environment for images taken with any smartphone. Finally, a built-in barrier system around the working area helps facilitate cleaning.
