Please read the manual carefully before operating the product. Use the product according to
the instructions otherwise the protection provided by the product may be impaired.
WARNING
ATTENTION:
ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION IS HARMFUL
TO THE HUMAN BODY!
Function
These UV Hand Lamps provide UV radiation with wave lengths of 365 nm, 254 nm, or a
combination of 254 nm and 365 nm. They are used for detecting nucleic acids stained with
fluorescent dyes such as ethidium bromide and acridine orange. These UV Hand Lamps
may be used to detect nucleic acids in several fields including molecular biology, biochem-
istry, medical and forensic examinations and biological preparations including observing
fluorescence.
