XL-1500 Spectrolinker Tool, Device, Reagent Sanitizer

The XL-1500 Spectrolinker UV crosslinker from Spectronics Corporation is ideal for UV surface sanitization of forensic tools and devices. The unit’s short wave UV (254 nm) tubes also provide efficient reagent decontamination, including carryover contamination, while preserving PCR amplification of minute quantities of DNA.

The Spectrolinker is equipped with a programmable, “smart,” user-friendly microprocessor controller. It also features an auto-repeat function, four operation modes, an LED-function indicator and a color-coded keypad. Numerous built-in “help” messages provide tremendous benefits to the user, including an indication of when UV tubes need to be replaced, when an operation has been interrupted, and the completion of a sanitizing cycle. It will also advise if the door is open during a run, which protects the user from accidental UV radiation exposure.

The XL-1500 Spectrolinker UV crosslinker has six 15-watt, short-wave UV (254 nm) tubes.
