Title:
ULTRAVIOLET LIGHTING PLATFORM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2005060581
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A method and apparatus (12) for genomic or proteomic research to visualize fluorescent labeled DNA, RNA or protein samples that have been separated for documentation and analysis. The apparatus (12) includes a novel radiation source for uniformly irradiating the samples which comprises a grid (30) constructed from a continuous, serpentine-shaped ultraviolet light producing tube (32) that is strategically formed to provide a multiplicity of side-by-side, immediately adjacent irradiating segments (32a). In one form of the invention the apparatus (12) also includes a first conversion plate (34) that is carried by the housing (14) at a location intermediate the radiation source and the sample supporting platform (24) for converting the radiation emitted from the source to radiation at a second wavelength.
