Techne Hybrigene - Manual (Page 5)

INTRODUCTION
Please read all the information in this manual before using the unit.
The Techne Hybrigene hybridisation oven is ideal for blotting techniques in which RNA, DNA or
protein are immobilised onto nylon or nitrocellulose filters. Several filters can be hybridised
simultaneously in a single tube while the rotating design ensures volumes as low as 5ml can be used
and recovered.
The Hybrigene has unique “slot-in” tubes with adjustable tube rotation speeds of 0 to 20 rpm;
controllable to suit your application. The tubes and other accessories can be accommodated together
for multiple applications and the unit can hold up to 16 mini or 4 large glass tubes. The temperature
can be set from 10°C above ambient to 80°C and offers excellent temperature accuracy and
uniformity.
For safety, the unit has a 10mm thick Perspex door to shield the immediate environment from
radiation. In addition, protective casing and non-drip tube design minimises risk to the user. Included
is a removable drip tray for easy cleaning should spillages occur.
The Hybrigene has adjustable feet for levelling on uneven surfaces. It is also possible to stack up to
three ovens, saving on valuable laboratory space.
