White Light Box
Product Code : LSK-BL-10166
White Light Box (SKU LSK-BL-10166) is an LED-lit viewing box with a 250 x 250 mm viewing area in a slim aluminium body, rated at 8 W. It is designed to make stained DNA, proteins stained with Coomassie Blue and autoradiograms easier to see, so students and technicians can read bands on gels and films clearly. Molecular biology, biotechnology and biochemistry teaching labs can use it. Science Lab Supplies sources and quotes the light box from Ambala, India, for colleges, universities, schools and distributors.

Applications and Experiments for the White Light Box
The light box is placed under a gel or film to light it from behind, so stained bands and spots can be seen, counted and photographed. It serves agarose and protein gel practicals in B.Sc. and M.Sc. biotechnology, microbiology and biochemistry, and Class 12 biotechnology projects.
- DNA gel electrophoresis: viewing stained DNA bands after a run in buffer made from Electrophoresis Buffer, 10X TBE, with samples prepared in Gel Loading Solution.
- Protein electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE): examining gels stained with Coomassie Blue.
- Reading autoradiograms in molecular biology and blotting practicals.
- Recording results by photographing gels on the lit 250 x 250 mm surface.
Standard Scope of Supply
The White Light Box is supplied as a single unit as described above: an LED light box with a 250 x 250 mm viewing area in its aluminium housing. Gels, stains, buffers and a camera are not included; buffers and loading solution can be quoted on the same document.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
You can request one light box for a research bench or several for a teaching lab with multiple gel stations. The Science Lab Supplies quotation states the packing, delivery time and price for the number you need, and electrophoresis consumables can be included.
With its Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Ghana, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda, the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Contact us via the contact page, build a list in the enquiry cart, or refer to the lab tender page for public tenders.
Frequently Asked Questions
What can be viewed on the White Light Box?
It is designed for stained DNA, proteins stained with Coomassie Blue and autoradiograms. Gels or films are laid on the 250 x 250 mm viewing area so the LEDs light them from behind.
What is the power rating?
The light box is rated at 8 W and uses long-life LEDs with 90-lumen LED chips. Confirm your local mains supply when you ask for a quotation so the correct power arrangement is quoted.
How does it differ from a blue light transilluminator?
This box gives white light over 250 x 250 mm for Coomassie-stained proteins, autoradiograms and stained DNA. The blue light transilluminator has a 7 x 14 cm viewing area and an orange contrast lid for viewing stained DNA gels without UV light.
Who supplies the White Light Box?
The unit is supplied by Science Lab Supplies, Ambala, India. The company quotes for universities, colleges, schools, research labs and distributors, and organises packing and shipment for buyers in India and overseas.
