What type of irradiation does the Stratalinker deliver?
What type of irradiation does the Stratalinker deliver?
UV irradiation (254 nm) was delivered from a Stratalinker by using mercury vapor bulbs and attenuated at all times with a neutral density filter (5% transmittance).
How does UV cause cell death?
Basically, UV kills cells because of the accumulation of DNA damage. A gene product, called p53, is one of the responsible parties for slowing the cell cycle and checking for damage. If the damage is too extensive, it directs the cell to apoptosis, or programmed cell death.
What does a Stratalinker do?
The Stratalinker UV crosslinker can be used to link nucleic acids to membranes after Southern blotting, Northern blotting, slot blotting, dot blotting, colony lifts, or plaque lifts.
Does UV damage human cells?
Ultraviolet radiation from the sun can zap DNA, damage cells, and set the stage for the subsequent development of cancer. All cells in the body rely on the same set of approximately 25,000 genes as the blueprint for the proteins they need to carry out their activities.
How does ultraviolet affect us?
Exposure to UV rays can cause premature aging of the skin and signs of sun damage such as wrinkles, leathery skin, liver spots, actinic keratosis, and solar elastosis. UV rays can also cause eye problems. They can cause the cornea (on the front of the eye) to become inflamed or burned.
How are paints crosslinked?
Air dried paints/primers like lacquer do not have cross linking taking place when they dry or “cure”. the term cross linking refers to two different molecules combining to make a different single molecule because the two chemicals “cross link” their molecules.
What is Renner crosslinker?
Renner YC-M407 is a Crosslinker designed for water-based systems such as Renner YO-**M760 or Renner YO-**C762. Once activated it will reduce stacking times. It will have a pot life of 24 hours after mixing.
