The Accuris™ E5001-UVBLOCK is a specialized UV Blocking Filter designed for the SmartDoc™ 2.0 Imaging System. While many standard filters focus on specific emission colors, this filter is specifically engineered to protect your smartphone’s camera sensors. It is used when imaging gels on a UV transilluminator to block harmful ultraviolet radiation from reaching the camera while allowing the visible light from the fluorescent DNA/RNA bands to pass through clearly. Features: Sensor Protection: Prevents "fogging" or damage to smartphone camera lenses caused by direct exposure to UV light. Visible Light Transmission: Blocks the UV spectrum while remaining transparent to the visible light emitted by common stains, ensuring a clear image. Universal Application: Ideal for researchers using standard UV light boxes who need a safe way to document gels without specialized bandpass filters. Seamless Fit: Designed specifically to slide into the filter slot of the SmartDoc™ 2.0 Imaging Enclosure.
