Accuris MyGel InstaView
Accuris Instruments has taken innovation to the next level with their new InstaView™ electrophoresis systems. These systems make the whole process of running DNA gels, viewing DNA bands and documenting results easy. All without removing the gel.
View DNA migration and separation as it happens
Blue light illumination – won’t damage DNA
Capture high resolution images without removing the gel from the tank
There are 2 myGel Instaview Systems Available:
E1201 InstaView Complete System with Power Supply
The myGel InstaView comes complete with everything needed to cast, run and view mini electrophoresis gels, including an integrated power supply. One large (10.5x10cm) or small (10.5x6cm) gel is accommodated by the gel tank. Gels are easily poured using the supplied trays, combs and leak-proof casting stand. The power supply connects directly into the gel tank – no more leads to contend with. The connection is guaranteed to be right, every time.
Output voltage can be adjusted to 35V, 50V or 100V and run time can be set for up to 99 minutes. A magnetic interlock between the gel tank and the lid prevents current from running through the system when the lid is not properly in place.
Once the myGel InstaView System is set up, simply slide the mini LED transilluminator into place under the tank and at any time turn it on to view the run in real time. An array of blue LEDs emits bright blue light at a wavelength of 465nm for optimal excitation of common green fluorescent stains such as SmartGlow™, SYBYR™ Green and Gel Green, without damaging DNA. An orange filter is incorporated into the lid for visualizing DNA bands without any additional equipment or special glasses. it’s time to document results, place the included gel imaging enclosure over top of the myGel InstaView, and use the camera app on any smart phone to capture high resolution images without removing the gel from the tank. Images are easily shared via email or text message or printed.
E1200 InstaView Gel Tank System – Connect your own power supply
For labs that prefer to use a separate power supply, the InstaView Gel Tank is the perfect choice for running, viewing and documenting electrophoretic separations. The InstaView Gel Tank accommodates one large (10.5x10cm) or one small (10.5x6cm) gel tray and is supplied with trays, combs and a leak-proof casting stand. The gel tank lid includes attached power leads which prevent the unit from operating without the lid properly in place. Any standard power supply can be connected, including the Accuris myVolt™ Mini and myVolt Touch. The InstaView Gel Tank is shaped to allow the mini LED transilluminator (included) to slide underneath. Blue light, at a wavelength of 465nm, provides excitation of common green fluorescent stains such as SmartGlow™, SYBR™ Green, and GelGreen. An orange filter is incorporated into the gel tank lid for visualizing the DNA in the gel box without any additional equipment or glasses. The transilluminator can be turned on at any time during a run to track progress, and automatically shuts off after 5 minutes.
After electrophoresis, simply place the included imaging enclosure over the InstaView Gel Tank to capture high resolution images with a smart phone. Images are easily printed or shared via email or text message.

I definitely like this better than the BandIt mini for multiple reasons. First, the colored bottom from having the light below the chamber makes loading your gel much easier, as you can see which wells have already been loaded. Secondly, the casting set does not have lines on it to help with comparing the bands to the ladder, which I never found helpful anyway and they just interfered with the imaging of the gel. I am still working out how much DNA-binding agent, DNA, and ladder that I need to add in order for everything to be visible with the imaging enclosure. I am including a picture taken through the viewer where you can see some pretty bright sample bands, but you can just barely see the brightest bands from the ladder.
I wrote to Transilluminators.com before purchasing to make sure the caster would work with my biorad gel trays and they confirmed this for me, which I very much appreciate! The caster works pretty well overall, and it is the only one I could find on the market at my time of purchase. Good overall experience and I would purchase from them again.
Pretty easy and safe to use - you don't have to hold iphone to take a picture of the gel with the UV light on. A cheap substitute for expensive gel imager.
Great image quality and easy to use. Perfect for a teaching lab.
Bought this for a teaching lab. Our existing system created multiple workflow bottlenecks when multiple students needed to image their gels at the same time. Taking turns using the imaging system and then having to transfer files from a shared device attached to the imager to students' accounts. This SmartDoc imaging system takes great pictures using students' phones. There's really nothing i can complain about for the quality of the image I need for the purposes of a teaching lab. The system is a fraction of the cost of a traditional lab imaging system and students are happy to have the images right on their phones for them to access. I'm getting a few more of these.
We ordered several cases of Luna's cell counting slides from transilluminators.com. We received a 20% discount for the same quality slides we would receive from Luna. Thank you for helping us save some money!
