Description
Molecules are hard to see with the naked eye–they can be colorless, too small, or not abundant enough. Fluorescence to the rescue to help you study the invisible. The Winston Fluorescence Reader uses blue light illumination to allow you and your students to investigate phenomena. Simply place the MiniOne Photo Hood on top of The Winston Fluorescence Viewer base to reveal the GLOW!
Using fluorescence to visualize samples and reactions is a common molecular biology technique to determine how much sample is present or what is occurring when the sample is colorless, low in abundance, or too small to see. Test for the presence of DNA, visualize dilutions, and visualize the results of bacterial transformation with The Winston.
With MiniOne Systems’ Winston Fluorescence Reader, students use fluorescence to detect and see samples glow in colors they won’t believe!
The Winston Fluorescence Reader (M1050) includes:
- MiniOne® Fluorescence Reader Base with space for up to 4 DNA samples with built-in rechargeable battery and USB cable (M1051)
- MiniOne® Photo Hood (M2005)
As a part of the community that Winston helped bring together, we invite you to submit what you discover with The Winston and we will post those protocols on line to share with others. To submit an activity please email us at: info@theminione.com The Winston will make you GLOW!
