Calibrating the Temperature Reading
The hybridizer is calibrated at the UVP factory. UVP recommends temperature recalibration be performed at
the UVP factory as recalibration by the user may void the warranty. Obtain an RGA (Returned Goods
Authorization) number from UVP prior to returning a unit to the factory. Call UVP’s customer service
department in the USA in Upland, California at (800) 452-6788 or (909) 946-3197 or in the UK in Cambridge,
UK at +44(0)1223420022.
Decontamination
IMPORTANT: These decontamination methods may not remove all contaminants. Refer to Federal, State,
and Local Guidelines and Biological Protocols to assure decontamination.
Bottles and Caps
•
Soak items in a diluted detergent solution overnight.
•
Remove from detergent and rinse items with distilled water.
•
If items are still contaminated, gently scrub with an abrasive cloth or brush. If necessary, continue
to soak items in the detergent solution for a longer period of time.
Oven Chamber
The oven chamber and drip pans may be decontaminated by wiping clean with a decontaminating agent,
then repeat with distilled water.
NOTE: If any unit requires service, a Returned Goods Authorization (RGA) number must be obtained from
UVP’s customer service department prior to returning any item to UVP. If radioactive or biological
hazardous material has been present within the unit, radioactive decontamination and biological cleanup
must be performed BEFORE returning the unit, as per current federal, state, and local guidelines and
biological protocols.
Using the Crosslinker
The crosslinker portion of the HL-2000 HybriLinker operates independently from the hybridizer. The crosslinker
provides an exposure instrument which utilizes shortwave 254nm ultraviolet energy for many applications and
protocols. The crosslinker’s internal microprocessor measures and controls UV output, ensuring maximum energy
efficiency. UV crosslinking takes seconds as compared to hours for oven baking. The UV crosslinking procedure
optimizes the use of the ultraviolet energy while ensuring that crosslinking is consistent.
WARNING! The crosslinker is a powerful source of ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Even though it is not easily accessible,
do not attempt to disengage or override the internal safety interlocks. Exposure to UV radiation may result. If the UV
sources remain on when the door is open, the unit is malfunctioning and use should be discontinued until the unit has
been serviced. Do not expose unprotected eyes or skin to UV radiation.
NOTE: This equipment is not intended for interconnection with any other devices. Use of this equipment other than
as intended may create a safety hazard and/or malfunction.
1. Place the unit on a level working surface. Be sure
there is adequate room in front of the door to
open it easily.
2. Plug the female end of the power cord into the
unit.
3. Plug the male end of the power cord into a
properly grounded electrical outlet. The proper
operating voltage of the Crosslinker is found on
the product information label. Note: For 230V
models, or those requiring special power cord
