Introduction

The all-new TruBlu2™ LED Transilluminator is designed to meet the diverse needs of your dynamic biotechnology 
classroom!

To accommodate the growing number of classroom safe DNA stains, we’ve created a visualizer that is both a blue 
lightbox, with an emission spectrum centered around 470 nm, and a white light transilluminator. The blue light and 
orange contrast lid are optimized for SYBR© Safe but will work with several other fluorescent dyes including tradi-
tional Ethidium Bromide. The white light is ideal for viewing non-fluorescent gels that have a lower signal to noise 
ratio or high background staining. 

The large viewing area can accommodate gels of varying lengths, widths, and thicknesses. It also allows for the 
simultaneous viewing of multiple gels – great for large classes and for comparing and collaborating on results! 

However, the TruBlu2 is not just for electrophoresis! Both the large viewing area and dual light system make it 
great for viewing the results of bacteria transformation experiments, protein extractions, and a variety of colori-
metric assays. Versatile and durable, it will be used by your classroom again and again.

Developed in concert with the inventor of the technology under license from Clare Chemical Research, Inc.
