Using the transilluminator
Place gel/sample on the transparent glass support area. It is recommended that researchers place the
gels on a Gel Tray to protect the glass surface from cuts and scratches, caused by the use of a scalpel
for cutting the gel. It is recommended that gloves are to be worn to prevent skin contact with gel and
staining agents. Press the switch to turn the transilluminator ON. The LEDs within the unit will begin
glowing beneath the glass surface. After viewing the sample, turn the transilluminator off. For taking
pictures, place the magnetic cover plate on the observation window to avoid scattered light.

transilluminator is turned off until the main switch is used. During shut down phase the blue status LED
is blinking.
