The E5001-UVBLOCK is a specialty UV blocking filter for the Accuris SmartDoc 2.0 Imaging Enclosure (E5001-SD) — engineered specifically for pairing with the E3100 myView Compact UV Transilluminator. The filter blocks the 302 nm midrange UV excitation light from reaching the smartphone camera while transmitting the longer-wavelength fluorescence emission from DNA stains, with spectral characteristics optimized for the E3100's specific UV-output profile.
Author confidence note (MEDIUM): The SmartDoc 2.0 instruction manual (older revision in the brochure corpus) references only the standard 535 nm (E5001-535) and 590 nm (E5001-590) band-pass filters as separately-orderable filter SKUs. The E5001-UVBLOCK appears in the 2026 universe price-list as a separate filter optimized for the E3100 chassis pairing — likely a more recent SKU addition reflecting an optimization for the E3100 myView Compact's specific transilluminator design. Specific spectral characteristics, intended stain compatibility, and the rationale for E3100-specific optimization (vs the general-purpose 535 nm / 590 nm filters) should be confirmed with Accuris technical support at first order.

Compatibility & When to Order This SKU
SmartDoc + E3100 specific workflow. Order this SKU when:
- SmartDoc 2.0 paired with E3100 myView Compact UV — the E5001-UVBLOCK is engineered specifically for this chassis-pairing scenario; the E3100's transilluminator design and spectral output may benefit from the optimized filter vs the general-purpose 535 nm / 590 nm filters.
- Optimized E3100-imaging signal-to-noise — labs prioritizing the highest-quality SmartDoc-captured images on the E3100 chassis benefit from the optimized filter.
- Spare-inventory for facilities running the SmartDoc + E3100 pairing on multiple workstations.
Skip this SKU when: the SmartDoc is paired with other UV transilluminators (E3000, E3200, or third-party UV chassis) — use the stain-emission-targeted filters E5001-535 (green stains) or E5001-590 (EtBr) instead.
SmartDoc Filter Selection Decision Matrix
| SmartDoc + transilluminator pairing | Stain | Recommended filter |
| SmartDoc + SmartBlue (E4000) | Green stains | E5001-ORANGE (included with SmartDoc) |
| SmartDoc + UV (E3000 / E3200 / third-party) | Green stains | E5001-535 |
| SmartDoc + UV (E3000 / E3200 / third-party) | EtBr | E5001-590 |
| SmartDoc + E3100 myView Compact UV | Either | E5001-UVBLOCK (this product) |
Application Profile
Labs running the SmartDoc + E3100 myView Compact UV bundled workflow — facilities that have standardized on the E3100 transilluminator and the SmartDoc 2.0 imaging enclosure for compact-bench gel-documentation workflows.
Compact-footprint imaging stations — labs prioritizing the E3100's smaller footprint (vs the larger E3000 / E3200) for bench-space-constrained installations benefit from the matched-pair UV-blocking filter.
Educational laboratory installations — teaching labs running compact UV transilluminator + SmartDoc imaging-station setups benefit from the optimized filter for student-cohort imaging exercises.
Multi-station fleet deployments — facilities running multiple SmartDoc + E3100 imaging stations standardize on this filter across the fleet.
Ordering & Configuration
Confirm spectral specifications at order. Given the medium author-confidence on the filter's specific spectral profile, confirm with Accuris technical support: pass-band wavelength, blocking wavelength range, and stain compatibility (green stains vs EtBr vs both) at first order.
Pair with E5001-SD SmartDoc 2.0 + E3100 myView Compact UV. The filter is workflow-optimized for this specific chassis combination.
Confirm at quote: SmartDoc 2.0 chassis (E5001-SD / E5001-SDB) in inventory, E3100 myView Compact UV in inventory, gel-stain chemistry, alternative-filter inventory (E5001-535 / E5001-590 for non-E3100 UV pairings), and lead time.

SmartDoc 2.0 photo-filter family:
- E5001-ORANGE — Orange filter for blue-light + green stain (included with SmartDoc)
- E5001-535 — 535 nm band-pass for general UV + green stain pairing
- E5001-590 — 590 nm band-pass for general UV + EtBr pairing
- E5001-UVBLOCK (this product) — UV blocking filter optimized specifically for E3100 chassis pairing
Pick the E5001-UVBLOCK when SmartDoc is paired with the E3100 myView Compact UV; pick the general-purpose filters for other UV-transilluminator pairings.
