Spectroline CC-80 UV Fluorescence Analysis Cabinet 254nm 365nm w/ 2 ENF-280C

Spectroline CC-80 UV Fluorescence Analysis Cabinet 254nm 365nm w/ 2 ENF-280C

The Spectroline CC-80 is a benchtop ultraviolet fluorescence analysis cabinet made by Spectronics Corporation. It is designed to provide a darkened, controlled viewing environment for UV-excited fluorescence analysis, blocking ambient light so that UV-induced fluorescence on samples is clearly visible. The cabinet accepts an optional eyepiece or camera lens through the top-mounted circular port (no eyepiece or lens is included). Two Spectroline ENF-280C dual-wavelength UV lamps are included and mount in the housing on top of the cabinet, illuminating samples below with either shortwave (254nm) or longwave (365nm) UV light.

Applications

The Spectroline CC-80 is used across a wide range of analytical laboratory disciplines where UV-induced fluorescence must be observed in a controlled, light-excluded environment. It is standard equipment for thin-layer chromatography (TLC), where UV light at 254nm causes fluorescent silica gel plates to quench and reveal compound spots, and at 365nm for direct fluorescence of UV-active compounds. The cabinet is equally common in gel electrophoresis work — visualizing ethidium bromide- or SYBR-stained DNA and RNA gels — and in genetic research more broadly. Other established uses include photoresist coating inspection in semiconductor and PCB fabrication, forensic science (document examination, trace evidence, biological fluid detection), and quality control in pharmaceutical and food science labs. Spectronics Corporation, the manufacturer, has been a leading supplier of UV analysis equipment for laboratory and industrial use for decades, and the CC-80 remains a widely used platform in research, academic, and industrial lab settings.
