High Sensitivity
● Visual detection limit is one ng per compact band of EtBr stained dsDNA due to high intensity of UVA tubes
● UV-transparent diffuser window allows 85-90% of the UV to pass through

Rugged
● Non-brittle filter made of plastic which does not crack easily
● No solarization i.e., UV-transparency of UV-transparent diffuser window is unchanged over time

Safe
● No skin burns or damage to retina as UVA tubes emit light similar to light found outdoors
● Negligible photo-nicking or photo-bleaching of DNA due to use of lower energy UVA lights
● Dual (Hi-lo) mode for viewing. Go to high mode only when required
Economical
● Low capital cost and spares
● Does not need costly UV-transparent violet filter
