Description

The Bellco Autoblot Hybridization Oven consists of an incubator with an integral rotisserie device. The rotisserie has the capacity for up to 12 large hybridization bottles or 24 small hybridization bottles. Alternatively, any combination of large or small bottles can be used. Hybridization in bottles is considered by many molecular biologists to be the best method of conducting hybridizations with Northern, Southern, Dot, Slot, or Colony blots, because the user only requires enough hybridization flu-id to cover a very small portion of the membrane at any one time. This results in a requirement for a much lower volume of hybridization fluid than any other system. The rotisserie ensures that the fluid continually moves over the membranes, coming into contact with all parts of them.
Temperature is monitored and precisely controlled by a platinum thermocouple to within ± 0.5oC. A fan within the oven ensures an even distribution of heat and thus a very accurate and precise temperature is achieved throughout the oven. The rotisserie is controlled by a separate ON/OFF switch and rotates at a constant 7.5 RPM. It is connected to the motor by means of a clutch, which enables users to stop the rotisserie and remove bottles without turning the rotisserie off or damaging the motor. If the rotisserie becomes contaminated, it is easily removed from the oven for decontamination, as is the stainless steel drip tray at the base of the oven. This has the added benefit of allowing the oven to be used as a normal incubator when it is not required for hybridization. The Bellco Autoblot Hybridization Oven contains an integral glass door which enables the user to check the experiment without disrupting the temperature within the oven.
The oven is supplied with four hybridization bottles as standard. These high qualities, leak-proof containers can be used at temperatures of up to 70oC and ensure optimum blot processing with minimum risk of contamination. The details for reordering bottles can be obtained from Bellco Glass, Inc.
