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.


Features

  • Improved cloning efficiency 

  • Compact, lightweight, and portable (less than 1 kg in weight)

  • Safety features include : 470 nm long wavelength, without any UV radiation hazard to its user

  • Compatible with non-carcinogenic, non-ethidium bromide DNA staining dye

  • User friendly: Samples are easy to visualize (when using the filter plate or goggles) 

  • LED light source lasts up to 50,000 hours

  • Superior detection sensitivity: ≤ 0.04 ng of DNA when using FluoroStain™ DNA Fluorescent Staining Dye, ≤3 ng of protein when using FluoroStain™ Protein Fluorescent Staining Dye (as sensitive as silver stain)

  • Adjustable and removable filter plate allows for gel cutting, visualization, and documentation

  • Built-in barrier design, for easy clean up

  • Visible in bright ambient light

  • Emphasizes minimal power reliance, low heat generation, with its own built-in heat sink
