Spectronics has introduced a high-quality, inexpensive ultraviolet crosslinker that makes it possible to identify and analyse trace amounts of DNA/RNA with far greater sensitivity, accuracy and speed than with conventional analysis.
The Select XLE-Series 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 sterilisation 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 highly fast and simple. It features five 8-watt tubes and is available in a choice of 254nm, 312nm and 365nm versions.
