iGlow™ UV Sample Tray

The Invitrogen iGlow UV Imaging Tray is a sample tray designed for exclusive use with the iGlow Gel Documentation system during UV LED light source applications. This tray represents one component of a three-tray system that includes blue and white light variants, each corresponding to specific LED light sources within the imager. Upon insertion into the iGlow, the UV tray is recognized by the instrument, which automatically activates the corresponding imaging options. This tray is required for all UV applications on the iGlow Gel Documentation System.

Features:

• Automatic Tray Recognition: Sensors built-in to the iGlow sample drawer automatically recognize which tray is installed, reducing the potential for user error.
• User-Friendly Design: Large locating pins make it easy to properly install the sample trays, enabling consistent sample imaging.
• Easy to Clean: Compatible with 70% ethanol or IPA cleaning solutions, the UV tray is easy to keep clean from sample to sample.

Precision Positioning

The UV sample tray incorporates three large notches that work in conjunction with corresponding locating pins to enable proper tray alignment in the imaging system for consistent results. Integrated sensors in the iGlow system automatically recognize the tray when inserted and activate the corresponding imaging controls, reducing potential for user error.

Advanced Transillumination for Enhanced Sample Visualization

The UV tray is placed above the imager's transillumination LED array. In that position the tray filters and distributes the UV light, facilitating uniform illumination across the field of view and high sample visibility for fluorescent detection applications.

Sample Compatibility

The UV tray supports a wide range of commonly used DNA and protein gel stains, including Ethidium Bromide, SYBR Safe, SYBR Gold, SYBR Green, SYPRO Ruby, Coomassie Orange, Oriole and more. This flexibility enables researchers to use a single platform for a variety of different gel imaging techniques.
