DNA-Workstation I
The DNA-Workstation is an UV sterilisation cabinett to decontaminate reagents and equipment prior to carrying out PCR reactions. The powerful 15 watt UV light (254 nm) of the DNA-Workstation denatures nucleic acids in 5-30 minutes making them unsuitable for amplification and therefore eliminating any possible cross contamination. The DNA-Workstations are equipped with a white lamp for illumination. The 10 mm acrylic walls or 8 - 10 mm glass walls also acts as an efficient shield of beta-radioactive emissions. The DNA-Workstations stand on an easy to clean stainless steel tray.

Available models:

L020C: acryl side walls, 1 x 15 watt UV-lamp (254 nm), 1 x 15 watt white light lamp and 1 x UV/Air cleaner (254 nm), which circulates the air along the UV-lamp for continues denaturation, lower part front to turn up.
Dimensions: 69 x 51 x 57 cm (WxDxH)
Weight: 25 kg

L020-G: glass sides, which are resistant to UV-cracking and can be cleaned with the medium of choice, 2 x 15 watt UV-lamps (254 nm), 1 x 15 watt white light, lower part front to turn up

L020-GC: glass sides, which are resistant to UV-cracking and can be cleaned with the medium of choice, equipped with 1 x 15 watt UV-lamp (254 nm), 1x 15 watt white light lamp and 1 x UV/Air cleaner (254 nm).

UV-Cleaner, the new combination of Laminar Flow and UV-light for Clean Rooms
This UV-Cleaner provides DNA-fragment-free laboratories without direct UV-light. The air is constantly flowing through the instrument, which is equipped with a fan, an UV-lamp and a dust filter. Inside the box the density of the UV-light is increased 1000 fold, sufficient to inactivate DNA complete. Also microbiological contaminations are reduced strongly.
The UV-Laminar-Flow is able to clean 25 m3 of air/ hour to provide DNA free laboratory of 25 m3 within 3 hours.

Further advantages:
no HEPA-filters to change
ozon-free high density UV decontamination
noise free, low energy consumption
long living UV-lamps (8.000 hr)
compact for wall fixation


The instrument is recommended for clean room laboratories as PCR, DNA-Analysis, Microbiology, Virology, Tissue Culture or other rooms, where a contamination free area is needed. After 12 hours of air cleaning, the UV-Laminar Flow provides an estimated reduction of the colony forming unit to 80 - 100 CFU/m3 air

DNA-Workstation II
This DNA-Workstation avoids cross-contamination by suction of the air and ducting it through an activated charcoal filter. All particles are captured and will not reach normal lab air.
The DNA-Workstation is equipped with an UV-lamp (254 nm) and filtercassette. The hour-counter shows the overall working time. The activated charcoal filter should be replaced every 1000 working hours. The work surface is made from stainless steal and easy to clean. The airflow is adjustable from 0 - 100%. The DNA-Workstation is available in 3 versions. The perspex cover can be moved 100mm backwards (exept USA version).

BIO-LINK-Crosslinker
BIO-LINK 254 nm provides a fast and reliable method, to fix DNA or RNA onto nylon- or nitrocellulose membranes. The crosslinking requires only a few seconds for a stable fixation between DNA/RNA and the membran. This method avoids a loss of samples through later hybridisation. The signal intensity is manifold increased (5 - 10 times) compared to the traditional and time consuming baking method (two hours at 80°C ). The BIO-LINK is equipped with five tubes of 8 Watt and also available in 312 nm and 365 nm. The big volume chamber (14,5 x 33,0 x 26 cm / HxDxW) offers space for bigger tubes and plates.
UV-energy supply can be set precise. BIO-LINK is equipped with an UV-energy programming system with a time integrator, which constantly monitors the UV-light emission.

Further technical details:
9 presetted energy-/time programs or manual configuration
max. UV-exposition in two ranges:0 - 9,999 joules and 0-99,99 joules
high reproducability by UV-sensors
large, user friendly keybord with LED-display
internal safety interlock
timer up to 999,9 minutes

Dimensions: 30,5 x 36 x 35 cm (HxDxW), weight: 10,5 kg

In addition to the crosslinking of nucleic acids BIO-LINK can be used for:
"Nicking" of DNA in agarose-geles
partial restriction endonuclease digestion by formation of thymine dimers
Rec-A mutation-screening
elimination of PCR-contamination

Nitrocellulose-Membrane
Membrane of 100% pure nitrocellulose for transfer of proteins and nucleic acids. It shows high binding capacity (80 - 100 µg / cm2) and a low background. Pore size 0,45 µm is used for standard applications. The 0,2 µm pore size is recommended for transfer of low molecular weight proteins (< 20 kDa) and nucleic acids to avoid loss of sample during transfer.
