The E5000-MAT is the UV blocking mat for the Accuris SmartDoc 2.0 Imaging Enclosure (E5001-SD / E5001-SDB) — used when pairing the SmartDoc with a UV transilluminator larger than 19 × 19 cm to prevent UV or blue light from emitting around the edges of the SmartDoc enclosure base. Per the SmartDoc 2.0 manual: *"If using the SmartDoc enclosure on a UV transilluminator with a viewing surface larger than 19x19cm, please use E5000-MAT UV Blocking Mat. This will block any UV or blue light from coming around the edges of the SmartDoc enclosure base."*
The mat is an operator-safety accessory — its job is to keep stray UV light from reaching the operator's skin or eyes during gel documentation on large UV transilluminators. Without the mat, the SmartDoc enclosure's smaller footprint leaves portions of the larger transilluminator's surface uncovered, allowing UV light to escape around the enclosure edges.

Compatibility & When to Order This SKU
SmartDoc-large-transilluminator workflow only. Order this SKU when:
- Pairing SmartDoc 2.0 with a UV transilluminator larger than 19 × 19 cm — for example:
- E3200 Accuris UV Transilluminator (21 × 26 cm viewing surface) — exceeds the 19 × 19 cm threshold; mat required
- Other large-format UV transilluminators in the lab inventory (legacy gel-doc systems, third-party large UV chassis)
- Operator-safety compliance — facilities running OSHA / institutional safety reviews benefit from documented UV-exposure prevention via the mat
- Mixed transilluminator inventory — labs running both small (compact) and large UV transilluminators with the SmartDoc need the mat for the large-chassis workflows
- Replacement — if an existing mat is damaged, contaminated with chemical residue, or has degraded UV-blocking performance
Skip this SKU when: the SmartDoc is paired with the SmartBlue (E4000) blue-light transilluminator (the SmartBlue's footprint matches the SmartDoc enclosure base — no edge gap), or with smaller UV transilluminators (≤ 19 × 19 cm viewing surface — the SmartDoc base covers the full surface).
SmartDoc + Transilluminator Pairing Decision Matrix
| Transilluminator | Viewing surface size | E5000-MAT needed? |
| E3000 Accuris UV (compact) | Standard compact size | ≤ 19 × 19 cm — no mat needed |
| E3100 myView Compact UV | Compact size | ≤ 19 × 19 cm — no mat needed |
| E3200 Accuris UV | 21 × 26 cm | Mat required ✓ |
| E4000 SmartBlue | Matched to SmartDoc base | Not applicable (blue light, no UV exposure risk) |
| Third-party large UV | > 19 × 19 cm | Mat required ✓ |
Application Profile
SmartDoc + E3200 large-format UV workflow — labs running the SmartDoc 2.0 imaging enclosure on the E3200 Accuris UV Transilluminator (21 × 26 cm viewing surface) require the mat for proper operator-safety coverage.
Mixed-fleet imaging facilities — facilities with multiple transilluminator chassis sizes benefit from a mat in the SmartDoc accessory inventory for use with any large-format UV chassis.
Safety-compliance requirements — institutional safety reviews or OSHA documentation for UV-exposure-prevention workflows benefit from the documented mat-pairing protocol.
Educational laboratory UV workflows — teaching labs using large UV transilluminators with SmartDoc-paired smartphone documentation maintain the mat for student-safety compliance.
Ordering & Configuration
Pair with SmartDoc 2.0 + large UV transilluminator inventory. The mat is workflow-required for the specific SmartDoc + large-UV pairing, not workflow-mandatory for all SmartDoc workflows. Confirm transilluminator size at order to determine mat requirement.
Confirm at quote: SmartDoc 2.0 chassis (E5001-SD / E5001-SDB) in inventory, transilluminator size in inventory (specifically whether viewing surface > 19 × 19 cm), institutional safety-compliance requirements, and lead time.
Warranty: Per Accuris standard accessory terms — confirm at quote.
SmartDoc 2.0 imaging-enclosure accessory family:
- E5000-MAT (this product) — UV blocking mat for SmartDoc + large-UV (>19×19 cm) pairing
- E5001-ORANGE — Orange photo filter for blue-light gel imaging (included with SmartDoc; this SKU is replacement)
- E5001-535 — 535 nm band-pass filter for green stains on UV transilluminator
- E5001-590 — 590 nm band-pass filter for EtBr on UV transilluminator
