What light sources can be used to develop DNAzure® bands?

We have tested a variety of different light sources for the development of bands using the original DNAzure® and DNAzure® 2.0 in an agarose gel. We have found that most light sources will work, but how long the development takes is dependent on the brightness of the light. The fastest band development is seen with our Glo-Plate™ White Photoactivation Device. We have also seen good results with other bright, white LED lights. Other light sources that work but take more time include an LED desk lamp and a cell phone light. We found that a 600W halogen lamp did not work well- it was too hot, which melted the gel.
