Spectroline XL-1000 Microprocessor-Controlled UV Crosslinker for Nucleic Acid Binding

The Spectroline XL-1000 UV Crosslinker is a microprocessor-controlled instrument designed for reproducible exposure of biological samples to 254 nm shortwave ultraviolet light. Equipped with five 8W BLE-8T254 UV tubes, this device enables precise UV dosing through selectable Energy Mode (100–999,900 µJ/cm²), Time Mode (1–9999 seconds), and Intensity Mode (maximum output approx. 6,500 ± 500 µW/cm²). The Optimal Crosslink Mode delivers a fixed energy dose of 120,000 µJ/cm², ideal for consistent nucleic acid membrane binding required in molecular diagnostics and gene editing workflows.

Featuring an enclosed chamber measuring 13 x 8 x 7 inches, the XL-1000 minimizes user UV exposure while providing a viewing window for real-time sample inspection. Its compact 20 x 10 x 11-inch housing weighs 15 lbs, making it suitable for benchtop use in biotechnology laboratories specializing in molecular cloning, synthetic biology, and bioprocessing. The keypad-controlled interface ensures repeatable and accurate UV crosslinking protocols critical for biopharmaceutical production pipelines and fluorescence analysis applications.

Electrical requirements are 120V, 60Hz, 2A. Included accessories consist of a 120V power cord and a 30-day warranty. The XL-1000 is widely adopted in nucleic acid crosslinking, molecular biology research, and clinical diagnostics, providing a reliable tool for UV-induced covalent bonding in DNA and RNA immobilization processes essential to biomedical engineering and live-cell imaging preparations.
