The UV crosslinker is an intelligent, versatile, and efficient lab equipment which offers a controlled amount of ultraviolet (UV) radiation. UV Crosslinkers can be used in many experiments, such as crosslinking reactions of polymer materials, PCR sample contamination control, UV curing, UV sterilization and sanitization. Through ultraviolet (UV) radiation, the active group fragments between molecular chains undergo cross-linking reaction to form chemical bonds, thereby improving the strength and heat resistance of the material.

XEPU UV Crosslinkers are available in different wavelengths and wattages:

XEPU-1208 UV Crosslinker: six 8 watt UV tubes (wavelength available: 254 nm, 302 nm, and 365 nm)

XEPU-1215 UV Crosslinker: six 15 watt UV tubes (wavelength available: 254 nm, 302 nm, and 365 nm)

XEPU UV crosslinkers have the following advantages and characteristics:

● High energy output: The XEPU UV crosslinker is equipped with six high-performance UV tubes (8 watts or 15 watts), providing high energy for polymer material crosslinking reactions. This also ensures a fast and effective crosslinking effect.

● Stable wavelength and energy: The XEPU UV crosslinker uses high-quality UV light sources and reflectors, ensuring uniform UV illumination, stable wavelength output, and stable energy output. This leads to high efficiency and repeatability of crosslinking reactions.

● Durable design and easy maintenance: The XEPU UV crosslinker is made of high-quality materials, with a sturdy casing and reliable kit. At the same time, the UV crosslinker is designed to be simple, user-friendly, and easy to maintain, thereby increasing the reliability and service life of the UV crosslinker.

● UV safety protection: The XEPU UV crosslinker has internal safety interlocks to protect the operator from accidental UV exposure. This means that the UV crosslinker will shut down automatically if the door is accidentally opened during UV illumination.

Precautions for using UV crosslinkers

The UV crosslinker is an intelligent UV instrument that is widely used in drug research, biochemical analysis, environmental monitoring, food quality testing and other fields. When using the UV crosslinker, you need to pay attention to the following points:

● Before using the UV crosslinker, you should be familiar with the operation and setting of the unit to avoid personal injury and equipment damage caused by improper operation.

● The UV crosslinker should be placed in a dry, ventilated and vibration-free environment to prevent dust and water vapor from entering the unit and damaging the optical path and circuit.

● The UV crosslinker needs to be calibrated before use. All XEPU UV crosslinkers are carefully calibrated before delivery to ensure accuracy and stability. The UV crosslinkers need to be cleaned, maintained and calibrated in a timely manner to avoid contamination and failure and extend the service life of the unit.

● During operation, it is necessary to avoid dust and vibration which may affect the accuracy and stability of the UV crosslinker.

● After using the UV crosslinker, turn off the power supply, keep the instrument dry and clean, and avoid corrosion and damage. Strictly abide by operating procedures and pay attention to prevent misoperation and accidents.
