Chamber supplies uniform intensity overhead UV exposure of materials. The CL-1000 model is an exposure instrument, which utilizes shortwave ultraviolet energy to bond the DNA to a medium.

Main Features

• Small footprint for benchtop use
• Preset and manual controls for ultraviolet or time exposures
• Preset exposure delivers 120,000 microjoules or five minutes of exposure
• Microprocessor measures and control UV output, ensuring maximum energy efficiency
• Large LED display and touch panel which displays time or energy settings
• Window on the door allows viewing of the process yet blocks out the UV radiation
• Select from models with 302nm midrange UV, 365nm longwave UV or 254nm shortwave UV
• Overhead UV supplies uniform UV
• Shortwave UV model is available with choice of door (CL-1000) or drawer (CX-2000) styles
• Built-in UV sensor is calibrated at the UVP factory to ensure accuracy and reliability
• Crosslinking for attaching nucleic acids to a membrane takes seconds as compared to oven baking

Applications

"The DNA Damage Project: The Socrates Fellows program, funded by the National Science Foundation, is a UCSD project run by BioBridge which partners graduate students with local high school teachers to bring current science into the high school classroom. The use of a UV crosslinker, provided by UVP, allowed one Socrates fellow to develop and implement a meaningful biotechnology experience with high school students exploring the concept of DNA damage."
