This invention avoids the need for UV light as well as all the various filters utilized by prior systems while allowing real-time observation and recording of molecules during electophoresis. This invention is a real-time observable electrophoresis system that avoids the use of light filters as the activation of fluorescent dyes is done by LEDs that give off visible light with a certain wavelength, instead of ultraviolet light, which are positioned not on the top or bottom of the electrophoresis gel but on the sides. The background light that is observed in some gels is eliminated by the image analyzing computer software. This system eliminates the need to filter the wavelength of the activating light and enables the observation and recording of the molecules during the entirety of the electrophoresis.
A system that enables instant real-time observation and recording of the images of molecules being separated by electrophoresis, which does not require any light filters, which is comprised of a box preventing the entry of outside light (1), at least one electrophoresis tank (2), at least one DC electric supply (3) powering the electrophoresis tank, light sources (5) placed on the side of the electrophoresis gel (4) that emit only a single wavelength of light other than ultraviolet (UV), a camera (6) taking images from above the gel, and a computer with a software for analyzing the images (7) to which the camera is attached.
