It is ideal for lab environments where reliability and precision are essential.
TheSpectrolinker™ XL-1000is the perfect solution for labs seeking powerful, controlled UV crosslinking in a compact package.
Compact yet spacious design: With overall dimensions of 19.5” x 10.5” x 9” and an inner chamber size of 13.5” x 7.0” x 7.5”, the XL-1000 is optimized for efficient use of space without sacrificing performance.
Lightweight & portable: Weighing only 17.5 lbs. (7.9 kg), this unit is easy to move and handle while offering high functionality.
Flexible power options: Compatible with 120V-60Hz-2A, 230V-50Hz-2A, and 100V-50/60Hz-2A, making it adaptable to various laboratory setups.
High-performance UV tubes: Equipped with five 8W SW BLE-8T254 tubes for maximum UV efficiency at 254 nm.
Overall Housing Dimensions (W x H x D): 19.5” x 10.5” x 9” (49.5 x 26.7 x 22.9 cm)
Effective Inner Chamber Dimensions (W x H x D): 13.5” x 7.0” x 7.5” (34.3 x 17.8 x 19.1 cm)
Viewing Window Dimensions (W x H): 6.0” x 2.5” (15.2 x 6.4 cm)
Energy Mode (J/cm²): Allows the user to set a desired energy dose from 100 µJ/cm² to 999,900 µJ/cm² using the keypad. Once the specified dose is delivered, the lamps automatically shut off.
Optimal crosslink: This mode is pre-programmed to deliver a fixed energy dose of 120,000 µJ/cm² for consistent curing performance.
Time Mode: Enables the user to set a specific time (from 1 to 9999 seconds) during which the unit operates at maximum intensity to deliver energy accordingly.
Covalently binds nucleic acid sequences and hybridization membranes in 30 seconds or less.

Comes complete with one Microprocessor Controlled UV Crosslinker & UV Sanitizing Cabinet XL-1000 Spectrolinker™ (Standard Size), with 254 nm 5X 8 Watt Tubes.
What is the Spectrolinker™ used for? It's a UV crosslinker and sanitizing cabinet used to covalently bind nucleic acids (DNA/RNA) to hybridization membranes with 254 nm UV light. A fully enclosed chamber protects users from UV exposure during the run. Labs also use it to sanitize workspace items.
Who uses the Spectrolinker? Molecular biology, life science, and research labs that run nucleic acid blotting and hybridization workflows and need repeatable crosslinking without hand-calculating exposure times.
How does it keep results consistent? A "smart" microprocessor monitors UV output in real time and self-adjusts for variations, such as aging tubes. Four operation modes (Energy, Optimal Crosslink, Intensity, and Time) let users set exact doses or run a preset, and an Auto Repeat function remembers the last run.
What is the XL-1000 used for? It's a benchtop UV crosslinker (five 8W 254 nm tubes, 6,500 µW/cm² maximum intensity) used to bind nucleic acids to hybridization membranes in 30 seconds or less. It's built for everyday lab throughput.
What operation modes does it offer? Energy: doses from 100 to 999,900 µJ/cm²
Optimal Crosslink: a preset of 120,000 µJ/cm²
Intensity: maximum output
Time: 1 to 9,999 seconds
How does it compare to the XL-1500? The XL-1000 is the compact, lighter unit (17.5 lb, 13.5" x 7" x 7.5" chamber). The XL-1500 has a larger chamber, more tubes, and higher maximum intensity, so it suits bigger membranes or higher volumes.
