UVP* Gel Tools

Gel tools are useful for those working with gels using transilluminators or gel documentation systems. The Gel-Cutter provides an edge for cutting and removing excess gel material. The Gel-Ruler has centimeter markings that fluoresce when exposed to 365 nm and 302 nm UV wavelengths to provide reference marks for DNA analysis. The Gel-Scooper, made of strong acrylic with a beveled edge, is designed for easy transfer of gels from electrophoresis equipment to viewing equipment. Gel-Trays, made of UV transmitting Plexiglas*, can be used to move gels to the transilluminators filter surface and provide protection from scratches. Side panels on the Gel-Tray, angled at 45°, extend upward from the tray surface for easy handling.
