BIO-LINK®BLX
Multipurpose UV Crosslinker (254, 312 or 365 nm). Ideal for crosslinking of nucleic acids on diaphragms. Cost-effective system for all applications where a specific UV dose is required for small irradiated areas.
- 6 × 8 Watt (254, 312 or 365 nm)
- programmable for radiation energy levels or for time; timer up to 999.9 minutes;
2 UV ranges: 0 to 9.999 Joule, 0 to 99.99 Joule - 9 UV settings (for programming with preset values)
- large radiation chamber, stainless steel, 260 × 330 × 145 mm (W×D×H)
- large LED display
- UV-secure front viewing panel
Time Saving
With Biolink, the UV impact time is reduced to just a few seconds for linking nucleic acids onto a diaphragm.
Improved Signal Intensity
The hybridization signal is 5 to 10 times greater than with traditional methods.
Reliable and Consistent
The BIO-LINK BLX has a high precision UV program system, which consistently measures the irradiated UV energy and can be adjusted as required. This continuous check compensates for fluctuations in UV radiation and for the effects of ageing in the UV tubes, resulting in a perfect and consistent UV dosage/time ratio.
Applications
- Crosslinking of DNA and RNA on nylon or nitrocellulose diaphragms for Southern, Northern, dot and slot blots applications
- Nicking of DNA in agaros gels, which has been dyed in ethidium bromide
- Partial restriction endonuclease digestion by the production of thymine dimers
- RecA Mutation Screening
- Elimination of PCR forms of contamination
- UV Sterilisation, UV Curing of Polymers
