The intuitive and easy handling creates perfect gel images. It consist of two main parts, the transilluminator and the dark box with a high-quality camera. ##### Compact instrument − Fits in all labs With a compact dark box body made of highest quality coated aluminium, the stand alone device has been designed for labs that need a powerful gel documentation system but only have limited benchtop space. ##### ![FastGene FAS DIGI Compact in the lab](https://www.nippongenetics.eu/app/uploads/2021/01/fas-digi-compact-lab-01.jpg) ##### Large illumination area − Comfortable use with large and multiple gels The FAS-DIGI Compact comes with a huge Blue/Green LED transilluminator (21 cm x 26 cm) giving a large illuminiation area for various gel sizes. ![FastGene FAS-DIGI-Compact dark box and transilluminator](https://www.nippongenetics.eu/app/uploads/2021/01/fas-digi-compact-hood-transilluminator-01.jpg)_Iluminator with large viewing area of 26 cm x 21 cm (right) and dark box with camera (left)._ ##### Blue/Green LED technology (instead of UV-light) − Valuable DNA, eyes and skin are protected ##### ![](https://www.nippongenetics.eu/app/uploads/2018/09/bgled-300x92.jpg) Using UV-light transilluminators affects you and your sample. Exposing yourself to the dangerous light source can harm your eyes and skin and damage your DNA sample for further downstream applications. This is why the FastGene**®** FAS-DIGI Compact includes a large transilluminator with Blue/Green LED technology. Blue/Green LEDs protect your sample and yourself from harmful UV-light exposure. Designed for guaranteed safe and easy handling. ![FastGene FAS-DIGI Compact Blue/Green LED technology](https://www.nippongenetics.eu/app/uploads/2021/01/fas-digi-compact-camera-gel-02.jpg)_Gel stained with [MIDORI Green Xtra](https://www.nippongenetics.eu/en/product-category/electrophoresis-dna-rna/nucleic-acid-stains/) and illuminated via Blue/Green LED technology using the FastGene® FAS-DIGI Compact − view through the amber filter viewing window (see below)._ ##### High standard camera − Great recognition and separation of even faint bands Even faint bands can be detected with the high standard 24 MPixel Canon EOS DSLR camera.
