NOTE: Do not operate the unit without securing the cover. If the cover is missing, a UV
Blocking Faceshield must be worn to avoid UV exposure to the skin. UV Blocking Eyewear
should be worn even with the cover in place to avoid accidental UV exposure.
Using the Transilluminator
Place gel/sample on the filter area. It is recommended that researchers place the gels on a Gel-
Tray to protect the filter surface from cuts and scratches. It is recommended that gloves be worn to
prevent skin contact with gel and staining agents.

The transilluminator can be turned on with the wavelength selector knob pointing in any
position. Press the ON/OFF switch to ON. The tubes within the unit will begin glowing beneath
the filter.

Dial the knob to the appropriate wavelength setting. After viewing the sample, turn the
transilluminator off.

Cleaning and Care of the Transilluminator
Clean unit surface with a damp soft cloth or sponge. Never use abrasive cleaners (can damage
the filter surface). To protect the filter glass and minimize moisture and liquids on the glass, it is
recommended that you use a UV transmitting Gel-Tray. Refer to the Replacement Parts for
ordering information.
Replacing Tubes in the Transilluminator

Disconnect the transilluminator for the electrical supply.

Remove the filter cover: Use a Phillips head screwdriver to remove the four screws on the
sides of the unit. Lift the filter cover off the unit.

Remove the reflectors on the left and right side. Slide the reflectors up out of the unit.

Remove the tube: Carefully rotate the tube and slide out of the socket. Replace with a new
tube by sliding the tube into the socket and rotating into place. Insert the reflectors back into
place and reattach the filter cover.
