UVC500 Ultraviolet crosslinker, 230 VAC - UVC500back |
UVC500 Crosslinker
Cross-link in seconds instead of hours
Ultraviolet cross-linking of nucleic acids to a membrane takes only seconds as compared to conventional methods of baking membranes requiring multiple hours. The UVC500 Crosslinker eliminates both time-consuming vacuum baking and the calibration problems of using UV transilluminators. In addition, because the UVC500 Crosslinker’s energy monitoring is so accurate, you will not overnick or destroy your DNA sample.
You do not need to time the reaction
The UVC500 Crosslinker produces uniform, consistent results because its internal photo-feedback system automatically adjusts to the variations in UV intensity that occur as the light tubes age. You do not need to time the reaction because the Crosslinker continually measures the energy within the chamber and automatically deactivates the UV light after the appropriate energy dose has been reached.
Dual set functions give more flexibility
To operate the Crosslinker, you preset the energy required in microjoules (mJ) or the total time in minutes from 0.1 to 999.9. The crosslinker is also useful for other applications such as DNA nicking, thymine dimmer formation, screening Rec A mutations, UV sensitivity testing, UV sterilization and decontamination or any other application using 254 nm UV radiation.
The crosslinker features a large countdown LED display that indicates the amount of energy or time remaining and mechanical energy/time sets that record the original time or energy dialled in. The UVC500 has internal dimensions of 30 x 25 x 13 cm. It has a safety interlock to prevent accidental exposure and a fold-down front door that acts as a workshelf when open.
