Accessories
Vilber provides first-class UV transilluminators for documentation and preparation in different dimensions and configurations. The innovative Super-Bright filter stops all the visible light emitted by the tubes. As the UV tubes are no more visible, the Super-Bright improves dramatically the quality of gel visualization and documentation.
