This leadership has been driven by the widespread use of transilluminators in microbiology laboratories for visualization of bacterial DNA, plasmids, and other biomolecular assays.
Adoption has been supported by the enhanced sensitivity and resolution of modern devices, which facilitate precise experimental observations and reliable data collection. The segment’s growth has also been influenced by the increasing focus on research in microbial genetics, antibiotic resistance studies, and biotechnology applications within academic and commercial laboratories.
Additionally, the integration of LED-based illumination systems and compatibility with multiple gel types has improved usability and safety, further driving adoption As research in microbiology continues to expand globally, the demand for advanced transilluminators capable of providing clear visualization and reproducible results is expected to sustain the growth of this segment, solidifying its prominent position in the market.
Ultraviolet transilluminators facilitate the optimum visibility of various electrophoresis gels, such as polyacrylamide and agarose gels. They help visualise the targeted deoxyribonucleic acids and proteins in study samples and specimens under a microscope.
Ultraviolet transilluminators work by emitting high-intensity ultraviolet radiation that passes through the viewing surface. Transilluminators are most frequently used in life science laboratories that are focused on microbiological research and development. Currently, manufacturers are offering stainless steel filter framed transilluminators that are scratch-proof and chemical resistant.
These upgraded solutions are targeted towards the biochemical industry.
