Blue Green LED Technology
Visualize your gel with the new FastGene® Blue/Green LED Flashlight. It is equipped with the same Blue/Green LED technology used in the FastGene® Blue/Green Transilluminator. The FastGene® Blue/Green Flashlight has all the benefits from the LED light, such as harmless to your skin and to your DNA sample, as well as the signal intensity previously only seen on UV-light transilluminators.
Detect GFP-Transfections
Additionally, it is possible to detect GFP expression without the use of the harmful UV-light. The light of the LEDs is able to ultrapass tissues enabling the detection of internally expressed GFP (see below).
Easy detection of DNA bands while performing the electrophoresis
Save your precious time and detect if the desired DNA is present while the electroforesis is running. Why wait for whole run if you can see the results after a few minutes?
Excising DNA bands made easy
The gel documentation system or the transilluminator is blocked – again? And you only wanted to cut out the band? Another advanatge of using the flashlight: with the accessories cutting board and the stand (FAS-GPST) anyone can cut a gel anywhere!

The flashlight is quite versatile. Allows visualization of yellow and green fluorescent markers in strains on agar plates. Can be used for visual selection in bacterial mixtures on plate, as well as enables detection of midori green/syber safe marked DNA on agarose gels. A GFP-marked strain can be seen in the pictures.

We just had a presentation of the flashlight. With Midori green it worked even in daylight.
