Nucleic-acid technologies: PCR
UV Crosslinker
Spectronics Corporation’s Select XLE-Series ultraviolet crosslinker is designed for the identification and analysis of trace amounts of DNA/RNA with greater sensitivity, accuracy, and speed than with conventional analysis.
The UV crosslinker covalently binds nucleic acids to membranes in under 30
seconds—240 times faster than vacuum-oven baking. It has a
true-UV-monitoring circuitry that safeguards valuable test results from
washouts, even when the tubes age. Researchers also rely on this versatile
instrument for eliminating PCR contamination, nicking
ethidium-bromide-stained DNA in agarose gels, gene mapping for creating
cleavage-inhibiting thymine dimers, RecA mutation screening in E.coli, UV
sterilization and miscellaneous UV-dosage applications. The Select Series
crosslinker features a "smart" user-friendly, fully programmable
microprocessor, built-in help messages and an auto-repeat function that make
its operation amazingly fast and simple. It features five 8-watt tubes and
is available in a choice of 254-nm, 312-nm, and 365-nm versions.
