UVP Minidizer Hybridization Oven Introduction The UVP Minidizer Hybridization Oven is a cost-effective, personal desktop hybridization oven with a capacity of four 35x150mm bottles, eight 50ml or 15ml conical plastic tubes. The Minidizer operates with a state-of-the-art microprocessor as well as temperature and variable speed controls. The Minidizer enables consistent saturation of samples, whether it for washing or hybridizing.
UVP Minidizer Hybridization Oven Installation The Minidizer Hybridization Oven has capacity for four 35x150mm bottles and eight 50ml or 15ml conical plastic tubes. Combinations of multiple-sized bottles may be used at the same time. To insert bottles or tubes into the carousel, gently press them into the clips.
UVP Minidizer Hybridization Oven Operation Caution: This equipment is not intended for interconnection with any other devices. Use of this equipment other than as intended may create a safety hazard and/or malfunction. Using the Hybridization Oven Place the unit on a level working surface and provide adequate room in front of the door to allow easy opening. Plug the female end of the power cord into the back of the unit and the male end into a surge-protected outlet.

UVP Minidizer Hybridization Oven 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 Minidizer Hybridization Oven 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.

UVP Minidizer Hybridization Oven Protocol 1: Random Priming Method for Tagging DNA with Fluorescein-Labeled Nucleotide and Others This method uses DNA polymerase to incorporate Fluorescene-11- dUTP into double stranded DNA probes. This protocol can be used to incorporate any tagged nucleotides. Equipment Micropipettes and tips •...

UVP Minidizer Hybridization Oven Protocol 2: Hybridization to Nylon or Nitrocellulose Hybridization to nylon or nitrocellulose membranes containing Nucleic Acid is accomplished by adding single- stranded probe to the membranes that have been previously incubated with prehybridization solution. The prehybridization and hybridization solutions both contain buffers designed to prevent adventitious binding of the probe to the filters.
