INTRODUCTION
Please read all the information in this manual before using the unit.
The Techne HB-1D 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 HB-1D 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 24 mini or 6 large glass tubes. The temperature
can be set from 10°C above ambient to 100°C and offers excellent temperature accuracy and
uniformity.
For safety, the unit has a double glazed 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 HB-1D has adjustable feet for levelling on uneven surfaces and it’s compact design saves on
valuable laboratory space.
