Hi,
The department has allocated some money for buying a UV-crosslinker to genetics. If you have some suggestions regarding the model or some special applications that need a certain type of model, let me know within a couple of days. In general, it can be used for eliminating PCR contamination, crosslinking DNA and RNA, nicking ethidium-bromide-stained DNA, gene mapping, RecA mutation screening and testing, UV sterilization, UV-induced polymerization etc.
Here is a model that we could possibly afford:

Picture of the linker is attached. The same model is also at the plant physiology (3rd floor lab) if you want to go and check.
Cheers, Minna
