Emission Filters
The universal hood can hold two different emission filters for fluorescent
applications. No filter is required to image chemiluminescent samples.
A standard filter (catalog #170-8081) is used for colorimetric (white light)
applications and is included in the installation kit.
Optional Accessories
Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. offers a selection of optional filters and illumination
sources. See Appendix D, Accessories , for ordering information and a complete
listing of accessory filters, UV light sources, optional parts, and replacement parts.
Printer
For your convenience, Bio-Rad offers an optional USB printer for use with the
Gel Doc XR+ and ChemiDoc XRS+ systems: the Mitsubishi thermal printer, (catalog
#170-8089).
Conversion Screens
White Light Conversion Screen
The white light conversion screen (catalog #170-8001) is a phosphor screen that
produces white light transillumination when placed on top of the UV transilluminator.
White Light Transilluminator
An optional white light transilluminator (catalog #170-7950) can also be used with
either system. The white light transilluminator plugs inside the universal hood and is
controllable by the touchpad or the computer software.
XcitaBlue Conversion Screen
The optional XcitaBlue™ screen kit (catalog #170-8182) is a UV to blue light
conversion screen, which allows you to visualize DNA samples while protecting
them from UV damage.
