Analytik Jena UVP 3UV Triple-Wavelength UV Lamp Overview
The UVP 3UV combines three commonly used laboratory UV wavelengths into a single portable instrument, eliminating the need for multiple dedicated UV lamps. The shortwave 254 nm setting is commonly used for TLC visualization and material inspection, the midrange 302 nm wavelength is frequently selected for nucleic acid visualization following electrophoresis, and the longwave 365 nm output is widely used for fluorescent dye excitation, mineral inspection, leak detection, and forensic analysis. Individual reflectors behind each UV tube help maximize light output while providing consistent illumination across the working area. The compact housing makes the lamp easy to transport between laboratories, cleanrooms, production facilities, and field applications.
Common Applications for the Analytik Jena UVP 3UV Triple-Wavelength UV Lamp
The UVP 3UV is commonly used for DNA and RNA gel visualization, fluorescent protein detection, thin-layer chromatography (TLC), fluorescence microscopy support, UV-reactive dye inspection, pharmaceutical quality control, forensic evidence examination, counterfeit detection, mineral inspection, contamination detection, photochemistry, and general laboratory fluorescence analysis. The three selectable wavelengths allow laboratories to optimize excitation for a wide variety of fluorescent compounds and analytical techniques.
Ideal Lab Types for the Analytik Jena UVP 3UV Triple-Wavelength UV Lamp
This UV lamp is well suited for molecular biology laboratories, biotechnology companies, pharmaceutical manufacturers, forensic laboratories, university research facilities, environmental testing laboratories, quality control departments, and industrial inspection laboratories. Facilities utilizing biosafety cabinets, gel documentation systems, PCR equipment, electrophoresis systems, and laboratory incubators frequently incorporate portable UV lamps into their analytical and research workflows.

Refurbishment and Testing Process
At American Instrument Exchange, each refurbished UV lamp is inspected and evaluated by our technicians prior to shipment. Testing procedures may include verification of all three UV wavelengths, ballast operation, switch functionality, housing inspection, electrical safety testing, and general operational evaluation. Components showing excessive wear are addressed as needed to help ensure dependable laboratory performance. Final cleaning and inspection are completed before packaging and shipment.
Shipping and Installation Considerations
The Analytik Jena UVP 3UV is designed as a portable laboratory instrument and requires only a standard 115V electrical outlet for operation. Buyers should follow established laboratory safety procedures when working with ultraviolet light, including the use of appropriate UV-blocking face shields, eyewear, and protective equipment. The lamp is carefully packaged to protect the housing, UV tubes, and electrical components during shipment.
Related Laboratory Equipment
Laboratories purchasing UV lamps often also require electrophoresis systems, gel documentation systems, PCR equipment, biosafety cabinets, centrifuges, and incubators. American Instrument Exchange offers a wide selection of refurbished laboratory equipment to support molecular biology, analytical chemistry, quality control, and biotechnology research.
Analytik Jena UVP 3UV Triple-Wavelength UV Lamp Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the UVP 3UV include three different UV wavelengths?
Different laboratory applications require different UV wavelengths. The 254 nm setting is commonly used for TLC and material inspection, 302 nm is widely used for nucleic acid visualization, and 365 nm is ideal for many fluorescence and forensic applications.
Can this lamp be used for DNA gel visualization?
Yes. The 302 nm wavelength is commonly used to visualize DNA and RNA gels stained with UV-excitable dyes while helping reduce DNA damage compared to shorter UV wavelengths.
Is this a transilluminator?
No. The UVP 3UV is a portable handheld UV lamp. It is intended for direct UV illumination and inspection rather than serving as a benchtop UV transilluminator.
Has this UV lamp been tested by American Instrument Exchange?
Yes. Each refurbished UVP 3UV Lamp is inspected and operationally tested by American Instrument Exchange technicians prior to shipment.
What warranty is included?
This refurbished Analytik Jena UVP 3UV Triple-Wavelength UV Lamp includes a 90-day warranty from American Instrument Exchange.
