Amber Goggles: Optimised Visualisation for LED Transilluminators
The Nippon Genetics Amber Goggles (G5-0720) are an essential safety accessory designed for laboratories utilising Blue/Green and Blue Light LED transilluminators. Unlike standard UV safety glasses, these goggles are specifically engineered to filter the intense blue light (approx. 500 nm) emitted by modern LED detection systems, ensuring comprehensive eye protection during prolonged use.
Beyond safety, these goggles actively enhance the visualisation of nucleic acid bands. By blocking the excitation light, they allow the user to clearly see the fluorescent signal from DNA/RNA dyes, such as Midori Green or Sybr Green. Their robust design makes them ideal for “open-box” work, such as excising bands directly from the gel, providing excellent clarity without the physical barrier of a darkroom shield.
Key Benefits:
- Spectral Filtering: Blocked Blue Light. effectively filters the 500 nm range, preventing eye strain and damage from high-intensity LED sources.
- Enhanced Clarity: Superior Band Visibility. Removes background light noise, allowing for the distinct detection of faint bands during gel excision.
- Versatile Fit: Comfortable Design. Can be worn comfortably over standard prescription glasses, ensuring accessibility for all laboratory staff.
