UV CROSSLINKERS

UVP

1.INTRODUCTION

UVP Crosslinkers offer researchers an instrument to quickly, safely and efficiently expose samples to a controlled amount of ultraviolet radiation. CL-1000 series features a lay-down type drawer while the CX-2000 has a pull-out drawer. Exposure of samples to UV provides for the following:

Crosslinking of DNA or RNA to nitrocellulose, nylon or reinforced nitrocellulose.

PCR sample contamination control.

Photoniking of DNA

Testing RecA function

Rapid site mapping

UV sterilization and sanitization

UV curing

The crosslinkers are designed to measure and control the ultraviolet (UV) radiation within the exposure chamber. A unique UV sensor continually measures the UV energy and automatically adjusts to variations in UV intensity that occurs as the UV tubes age. This same UV sensor feedback measurement system allows you to set UV sample exposure, which automatically deactivates the UV sources when the set UV energy dose has been achieved.

2.IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Ultraviolet Crosslinkers are a powerful source of ultraviolet radiation. Even though they are not easily accessible, do not attempt to disengage or override the internal safety interlocks. Exposure to the UV radiation may result. If the UV sources remain on when the door is open, the unit is malfunctioning and use should be discontinued until the unit is serviced. Do not expose unprotected eyes or skin to UV radiation. Always disconnect the UV Crosslinker from its electrical supply before servicing.
