Labnet Deluxe ProBlot Hybridization Systems (6, 12, 12S and 24) - Manual (Page 3)

INTRODUCTION
This manual covers the specifications, operation and use of the Labnet series of Problot Hybrid-
ization Ovens including Problot 6, Problot 12, Problot 12S and Problot 24. Please pay special
attention to the
Safety Precautions section in this manual.
Problot Hybridization Ovens from Labnet International provide extremely stable temperature
environments and smooth variable speed rotation that are ideal for blot hybridization and blot
washing activities.
Labnet’s Problot Hybridization Ovens use microprocessor controls and mechanical convection
to maintain a stable temperature environment and to achieve fast chamber temperature recov-
ery after a door opening. The oven interior is constructed from stainless steel for corrosion
resistance and the oven includes a drip pan for easy clean-up of accidental spills.
Problot rotisseries are easily removed from the oven and are adjustable for either horizontal or
more vigorous angled blot washing. All oven doors have an integral glass window to allow
observation of samples without opening the door and each door is fully thermal gasketed.
An optional rocking platform is available for each oven and the Problot Model 12S includes an
integral orbital shaking platform (10mm orbit) with optional flask platform.
Labnet Hybridization Bottles are recommended for optimum Problot Oven performance. These
bottles are made of high quality borosilicate glass, which provides a high level of protection
from the 32P beta emissions.
