The Benchmark Scientific Accuris E3000 Compact Benchtop UV Transilluminator is a laboratory gel visualization instrument designed for viewing and analyzing nucleic acid gels following electrophoresis. The compact benchtop unit provides a 302 nm midrange ultraviolet illumination source and a black-glass viewing/filter surface for observing fluorescently stained DNA and RNA gels. The E3000 is designed for molecular biology, biotechnology, genetics, and laboratory research workflows. coleparmer.in

The unit features a 16 × 19 cm viewing area, allowing visualization of larger gels or multiple smaller samples. Its UV illumination system uses an 8-watt UV bulb array for relatively even illumination across the viewing surface. Dual-intensity operation at 50% and 100% provides flexibility when viewing fluorescent bands and samples. coleparmer.in

The hinged UV-resistant cover opens to approximately 90°, providing access to the viewing surface and accommodating compatible gel documentation or imaging equipment. The 302 nm UV output is suitable for commonly used fluorescent nucleic-acid stains, including ethidium bromide and several safer DNA/RNA staining alternatives. coleparmer.in

Applications

The Benchmark Scientific UV Transilluminator is primarily used for DNA and RNA gel visualization after agarose or polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Researchers can use the UV illumination surface to locate fluorescent nucleic-acid bands, assess electrophoresis results, and prepare gels for documentation or downstream analysis.

Typical applications include molecular biology laboratories, biotechnology research, genetics laboratories, educational laboratories, pharmaceutical research, microbiology workflows, and general electrophoresis-based nucleic-acid analysis. The compact benchtop configuration makes it suitable for laboratories where working space is limited.

Benefits of Refurbished Laboratory Equipment

A refurbished Benchmark Scientific UV Transilluminator can provide laboratories with access to specialized gel visualization equipment at a potentially lower cost than purchasing new equipment. It can be particularly useful for research laboratories, educational institutions, biotechnology facilities, and laboratories building or expanding electrophoresis workflows.

Refurbished equipment can also be a practical option when a laboratory requires a dedicated UV gel visualization platform without investing in a larger integrated gel documentation system. Before use, the UV output, lamp condition, electrical safety, viewing surface, cover mechanism, and intensity controls should be inspected and tested.

Additional Information

This unit is intended for laboratory research and gel visualization applications. The exact electrical version should be confirmed from the product rating label before connecting the equipment to mains power. UV illumination can be hazardous to eyes and skin; the supplied or compatible safety cover should be used during operation.

Accessories such as gel documentation cameras, imaging enclosures, power cords, replacement lamps, or other documentation equipment are not included unless specifically shown or stated. The actual condition and UV output should be verified before sale or laboratory use.
