Dark Reader blue LED transilluminators and hand lamps reveal fluorescent DNA, RNA, proteins and other biological samples using a revolutionary combination of a VISIBLE blue light source and two color filters. Dark Reader apparatus is at least as sensitive as UV for the detection of many popular dyes and can be used to see, directly by eye, less than 100 pg of stained DNA.
