UVP Biomedical Technologies Overview


UVP Biomedical applications (31,380 bytes) Company Seven offers a broad selection of equipment suitable for biomedical applications including imaging cameras, lenses for work in the visible or infrared, as well as
UV capable lenses and long distance microscope systems. Our systems are employed for technology related projects (testing new materials for joints, etc.), forensics, quality assurance, and for genomic, proteomic and invivo applications in molecular biology. Common uses for the UVP laboratory products include DNA gel image acquisition and documentation, analysis of gels, blots, fluorescence, chemiluminescence, western blots, northern blots, southern blots, luminescence, colorimetric, chromagenic, densitometry, in vivo and in vitro, plates, and film.

We sell ultraviolet Transilluminators, ultraviolet crosslinkers, ultraviolet incubators, PCR hoods, UV PCR and HEPA/UV PCR Cabinets and Workstations, ultraviolet lamps, hybridization ovens, ultraviolet light sources, and radiometers. It also offers VisionWorks LS, an image acquisition and analysis software including Doc-It LS software for image analysis.

Products include:


UVP Integrated Imaging Systems:


Since 1932 UVP has been involved in developing solutions, particularly for those who work in the ultraviolet portions of the spectrum. UVP developed devices that illuminate subjects in portions of the spectrum including: ultraviolet, visible, or near infrared. These components include lamps and Transilluminators. Over recent decades UVP has combined their illumination components and expertise with imaging devices and with custom developed
control and image processing software to produce comprehensive and convenient to use imaging systems. The imagimg systems are made to illuminate and capture images of: live (en vivo) animals (with options including anaesthesia modules), cultures in Petri dishes, DNA gels, and more. Furthermore, these systems do this work consistently, reliably, and in a time efficient manner.

PCR HEPA Cabinets & Workstations:

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a technology employed in molecular biology. PCR is particularly useful for amplifying (cloning) DNA sequencing, for DNA-based phylogeny, functional analysis of genes (diagnosing disease), genetic fingerprinting (forensics or paternity testing), detection and identification of infectious organisms. UVP has developed several systems that employ shortwave ultraviolet light among other methods to control carryover contamination for the polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

Transilluminators:

The Transilluminator is an illuminating platform that incorporates a flat window below which are ultraviolet and or other lamps. These AC powered devices were developed as a backlighting source for DNA gels. However, the Transilluminator can be used for studies of any transparent subject, or to backlight opaque objects so that their perimeter areas between the front and rear of a sample may be more clearly studied.

Most Transilluminators for gel applications incorporate multiple UV source tubes of 6 watt or higher capacity. But we also offer higher output models, and models in 365nm, or 254nm, or visible light. Some Transilluminator models provide the user with the choice of selecting two or more wavelengths: 254nm (shortwave), 302nm (midmwave), or 365nm (longwave) sources. We also sell White light, White/UVs, and special purpose Visi-Blue™ Transilluminators. The Visi-Blue™ are specially made to convert UV light for use with 460-470nm excitation samples, SYBR green, SYPRO orange, and GFP stains. Some of our Transilluminators feature the capability to vary the brightness of the source.

UVP DigiDoc-It system with transilluminator (75,581 bytes) Beyond their conventional applications UVP has engineered their Transilluminators to be compatible with:

  • Chromato-Vue® UV Observing Cabinets: the bottom panel of each cabinet may be removed so that the cabinet may be placed onto a Transilluminator to provide back illumination.

  • Some DigiDoc-It® systems (TFM-26V or TFV-30V), and all PhotoDoc-It™ systems incorporate a Transilluminator.

  • The DigiDoc-It®, MultiDoc-It™ , and VisiDoc-It™ imaging systems too are compatible and can be used with an optional UV Transilluminator.

Ordering UVP Products

Company Seven stocks some of the more popular UVP lamp and cabinet products, and we accept orders for their other products by numerous means. You can also bring your UVP item to Company Seven for repair, or contact us to obtain user-serviceable items (bulbs, grids, etc.). The ways by which you may order products or parts are outlined at , or click here to read that page now.

Company Seven has not become convinced that on-line ordering is always beneficial for the customer, particularly when making a more complicated choice. While on-line ordering certainly is convenient and time effective for the merchant since they do not have to spend time with the customer, the customer is not always making the best choices when buying solely after reading what may be "propaganda" on line. The best ways to make the better choices are to either visit our showroom, or telephone 301-953-2000. This way you can obtain prompt and competent concise assistance which will address your particular needs and concerns.
