UVP Hybridization Ovens Introduction The UVP Hybridizer is a cost-effective, high-performance, 10-bottle hybridization oven with state-of-the-art microprocessor temperature and variable speed controls. The UVP HybriLinker™ System is designed with a combination of hybridizer and crosslinker components. This equipment is intended to be used in the laboratory environment.
Carousel Rotation: 12 - 20 rpm Lower Chamber Same as the UVP Hybridizer Setup Instructions Two different bottle sizes are available for use within the hybridizer. The rotary wheel carousel can hold up to twenty (20) 35 x 150 mm bottles or ten (10) 35 x 300 mm bottles. In addition, combinations of both bottle sizes may be used at the same time.
UVP Hybridization Ovens Installing the Rollers and Optional Trays To insert rollers in the hybridization oven carousel, slide the rollers into the receptacle on the left side of the chamber first, followed by the right side. To install the Reciprocating Shaker Tray (standard with the Multidizer), place the tray over the rollers in the hybridization oven.

Calibrating the Temperature Reading The hybridizer is calibrated at the Analytik Jena factory. AJ recommends temperature recalibration be performed at the AJ factory as recalibration by the user may void the warranty. Obtain an RGA (Returned Goods Authorization) number from AJ prior to returning a unit to the factory. Call AJ’s customer service department in the USA in Upland, California at (909) 946-3197 or in the UK in Cambridge, UK at +44(0)1223420022.

UVP Hybridization Ovens Oven Chamber The oven chamber and drip pans may be decontaminated by wiping clean with a decontaminating agent, then repeat with distilled water. NOTE: If any unit requires service, a Returned Goods Authorization (RGA) number must be obtained from AJ’s customer service department prior to returning any item to AJ.

The Crosslinker is shipped with shortwave UV tubes. However, should user requirements and applications change, it is possible to modify the ultraviolet wavelength and recalibrate the UV sensor and microprocessor to the new UV wavelength. This is accomplished by purchasing FIVE tubes of the new UV wavelength and the proper Analytik Jena calibration sensor.
UVP Hybridization Ovens Care and Cleaning NOTE: Always unplug the unit from the electrical supply before cleaning or drying the unit. The units are built to provide you with trouble-free operation. To ensure correct operation: Wipe ANY water from inside and outside the unit with a soft cloth or sponge. ...

UVP Hybridization Ovens Hybridization Techniques There are really two main steps to a hybridization reaction: hybridizing two strands of complementary DNA, and detection of the hybridized DNA. Nucleic acid hybridization is a mechanism where strands of DNA in a single stranded state have their complements bind together.

UVP Hybridization Ovens 3. Salt Concentration and Temperature Nucleic acid requires salt (monovalent cations) to reduce the ionic effects of the phosphate backbone, and heat as a form of non-denaturing kinetic energy. Because the salt concentration and temperature effect each other, knowing the thermostability of the hybrid probe is helpful. Hybridization rate varies directly with the sodium ion concentration between 0.03 and 1.2 M.
