Non-UV Transilluminators

Many users of UV transilluminators have experienced, at one time or another, either a mild case of sun-burn or "spots before the eyes" as a result of spending too long either examining a gel or cutting out bands.

Clare Chemical Research's Dark Reader optical systems contain less UV light than the ambient fluorescent lighting used in most offices and laboratories. Because the Dark Reader transilluminator emits almost immeasurably low levels of light below 400 nm, there is essentially zero risk of UV radiation causing eye or skin damage, making it much safer to use than a traditional UV transilluminator.
