A.
Introduction
The SMOBiO B-BOX™ Blue Light LED epi-illuminator is designed to meet the need of
a light and compact bench top illuminator for visualizing electrophoresis products.
The B-BOX™ features light-emitting diode (LED) blue light modules which emit high
intensity blue light of 470 nm wave length while emitting only minute amount of
heat. The B-BOX
TM
is compatible with non- Ethidium bromide (EtBr) fluorescent DNA
and protein dyes, offering an unparalleled level of detection sensitivity and
protection to the DNA/protein sample from UV damage.

Important Safety Information
Although the 470 nm blue light do not cause physiological damage as do the UV
light, but staring directly into the LED without protective eyeware or filter plate
may cause damage to the retina, proper safety measure must be applied.
The working area is water tight but the B-BOX™ is not water proof, do not
submerge or pour excessive amount of liquid onto the B-BOX™ epi-illuminator.
The high intensity, low-heat LED modules emits only a small amount of heat
during operation, however, as precaution, the B-BOX™ epi-illuminator should be
placed at a well-ventilated area with sufficient vertical clearance of air space at
the base plate while using.
