Bio-Rad Universal Hood II Gel Documentation and Imaging System

The Bio-Rad Universal Hood II is a laboratory-grade gel documentation system designed for precise imaging and documentation of nucleic acid and protein gels, essential in molecular biology and biotechnology workflows. Featuring a front-accessible imaging chamber equipped with a protective glass window, this unit facilitates safe and efficient gel visualization with consistent illumination from its integrated light source panel.

• Electrical specifications include operation at 120 V, 60 Hz, with a power consumption of 203 VA and a fuse rating of 1.2 A, ensuring compatibility with standard US laboratory power systems.
• The system’s compact design optimizes benchtop space while providing reliable imaging required in molecular diagnostics, gene editing experiments, and bioprocessing analysis.
• Manufactured in the USA, the Universal Hood II supports workflows critical in synthetic biology research and biopharmaceutical production pipelines by enabling high-quality documentation of electrophoresis results.
• Its robust construction and user-friendly operation make it a widely adopted solution among molecular biology researchers conducting DNA/RNA gel imaging and other fluorescence or UV-dependent visualization methods.

This gel documentation system is suited to laboratories focusing on biomedical engineering, live-cell imaging validation, and fluorescence analysis, making it a valuable tool for extracting accurate data from electrophoretic separations.
