Techne Hybridisation Incubators Techne HB-1D and Hybrigene hybridisation incubators replace the cumbersome shaker bath and plastic bag method. At least five 200x200mm membranes can be probed in the large hybridisation tube in DNA experiments. Hybridisation can be performed using a minimal volume of 5ml, an 80% reduction over conventional systems, reducing expense and improving signal. The updated HB-1D now has adjustable rotation speed and is supplied complete with a stainless steel drip tray and three large hybridisation tubes. The capacity to run up to five membranes in each tube, without any increase in background, means that a large number of hybridisations can be performed simultaneously. The unit will accept up to 6 large or small hybridisation tubes or 24 mini tubes (6x4). The unit has digital set and display of temperature. The Hybrigene is a compact, stackable alternative to the HB-1D and is the perfect choice when quality is important and throughput is not a priority. The Hybrigene is stackable which makes it ideal for today s modern, overcrowded laboratory - up to 3 ovens can be stacked saving on valuable space. Two Hybrigenes can be stacked under most laboratory benches. The unit will accept up to 4 large tubes or small tubes or 16 mini tubes (4x4). Tube holders with clips are available to carry 64x15ml and 32x50ml conical tubes. Accessories for the HB-1D and Hybrigene include adjustable rocking platforms which fit on the base of the units, allowing hybridization tubes to be used above. Up to 2 (Hybrigene) or 3 (HB-1D) static stainless steel mesh shelves can also be placed into the tube locators, allowing the unit to be used as a simple incubator.

Quanta Biotech Q-Hyb 10 Hybridisation Incubator The Q-Hyb 10 is a high quality, versatile hybridisation incubator. Its rotisserie* has the capacity to conduct up to 20 independent probe hybridisations, each with up to seven separate membranes. Alternatively, the rotisserie can be interchanged with a shaking platform* to facilitate large scale hybridisation or batch washing protocols. The rotisserie and shaking platform can be interchanged in less than a minute allowing researchers to quickly adapt the incubator to the needs of their individual protocols and employ strategies utilising both accessories. This capacity and flexibility enables the incubator to service multiple users and act as a core hybridisation facility in even the most demanding research laboratory. Other features include PID control for reproducible results and an over-temperature safety cut-out. A range of hybridisation bottles is available, made from borosilicate glass. Large capacity rotisserie accommodates 10 large or 20 small bottles Wide temperature range (ambient +5 C to 95 C) for membrane stripping protocols Timer with alarm for accurate step timing in multi step protocols Interchangeable rotisserie, shaking tray and up to 4 incubation shelves* Index loading system for controlled experimental set up and rapid change of washing fluids Rotisserie/shaker speed 5 to 20rpm Easy to clean stainless steel interior and door to ensure rapid and complete decontamination Large window to view experiments High precision PID control for reproducible experiments Bottle to bottle uniformity ±0.1 C Stackable (up to 3 high) to minimise wastage of laboratory space Over-temperature safety cut-out 286-994 286-994 shown with 2 incubator shelves (286-996) * These are not supplied with the incubator and must be ordered separately.

Stuart 364-062 SI30H Hybridisation Incubator and Shaker A very versatile 20 litre hybridisation incubator and combined rocker shaker which only requires a minimum of bench space. The incubator temperature is accurately set via the easy to use encoder controls and displayed by a bright LED. Forced air circulation combined with microprocessor control means outstanding temperature uniformity. The safety first design includes an over-temperature protection system that automatically tracks the set temperature and controls the heater in the event of a fault. The smart system displays error codes indicating a fault has occurred or if the set temperature has been interrupted. The incubator also cuts power to the motor if it overheats or stalls. The incubator has a stainless steel interior, whilst the door is constructed from a double glazed panel of smoked acrylic and polycarbonate to provide radiation protection. The up and over door mechanism gives excellent access to the incubator. Conversion of the unit to a rocker shaker is fast and easy. Simply remove the rotisserie and pull forward the platform located at the rear of the incubator. The gentle rocking action is ideal for the washing stage of most hybridisation procedures. Rocking speed is fully variable allowing optimisation depending on application. A range of hybridisation bottles made from tough Pyrex glass and leak proof PTFE faced screwcaps, are available.

Accessories Hybridisation Bottles for Stuart S130H Hybridisation Incubator Bottle hybridisation minimises probe volumes, reduces reagent volumes and enhances signal intensity. Made from Pyrex borosilicate glass Stuart hybridisation bottles are robust and can easily withstand the temperatures of the most rigorous hybridisation techniques. The thermoplastic polyester caps are very rigid and will not distort during repeated heating in the incubator which can lead to leakage. The seal is made by a PTFE faced insert that covers the entire inside of the cap making very good contact with the glass thread. Available in three sizes, each bottle comes complete with cap and a care leaflet. Cat.

The HC 2 micro-array hybridisation chamber enables micro-array slides to be hybridised conveniently, safely and reproducibly. The chambers can be used in air incubators or waterbaths. Each chamber incorporates a dual humidity system to prevent evaporation of the hybridisation buffer. Two reservoirs maintain a constant humidity while an absorbent paper is supplied to rapidly humidify the chamber at high hybridisation temperatures. Manufactured in an inert polymer with similar chemical resistant properties to that of polypropylene. The chambers have been tested at hybridisation temperatures up to 65 C and can be autoclaved if required. At either end of the chamber there are recessed wells to accommodate a small volume (approx. 600µl/well) of water or hybridisation buffer to humidify the chamber atmosphere. 364-063 467-302 to 467-305 467-303 Tube sold separately 467-300 Cat.
