“…The investigations generally involve performing gel image analysis, considering various types of UV lamps and cameras, as well as the prices of each component. However, only a few studies on this nature have been conducted [7]. We used cheap camera instead of the expensive DSLR camera which is used in the conventional Gel Doc system in our previous work [8] resulting comparable image quality.…”

This paper presents a low-cost method of constructing a UV illuminator, which is considered an important component of a gel documentation system. The procedure involves using a smallest-possible UV lamp in the UV illuminator instead of conventional 4 UV lamps.A comparative analysis of images produced by using the commercial gel documentation system and our prototype was performed using MATLAB. Despite the use of only 1 UV lamp, the proposed system demonstrated a similar imaging performance compared to the image quality of a conventional gel documentation system equipped with 4 UV lamps.

“…Electrophoresis is a process of separating DNA fragments based on their size by moving dispersed DNA particles through agarose gel under influence of a spatially uniform electric field [3]. Gel documentation is a process of capturing a photograph of DNA particles dispersed on agarose gels under ultra violet light and analyzing the relative moving distance of DNA particles [4]. In this paper, we focus on designing an efficient device performing the PCR procedure for DNA amplification.…”

Abstract. This paper presents a low-cost method of constructing a UV illuminator, which is considered an important component of a gel documentation system.
