The Hybex
Microarray Incubation System [Cat. #1057-36-1 (115V);
1057-36-2 (220V)] simplifies microarray incubation and
processing to reduce costly errors and enhance the
reproducibility of results. The system is comprised of
the Hybex Microsample Incubator and two humidified
chambers.

Eliminates Cassettes and Waterbaths
The Hybex Microarray Incubation System replaces
multiple, clumsy cassettes with humidified chambers.
Instead of plunging hands repeatedly into hot water to
place and remove cassettes, Hybex chambers are simply
inserted into a small heating unit. The system includes
two chambers, four 4-slide racks, two handles and
assembly tools for incubating up to 16 arrays
simultaneously.

Eliminates Handling Arrays When Washing and Drying
Manually transferring arrays from waterbath cassettes
into racks takes time and creates opportunities to
damage samples. With the Hybex Incubator, slides remain
in the incubation racks when performing coverslip
removal, washing and drying. Arrays are not touched
post-hybridization.

Integrates with the Little Dipper™ Microarray Processor
For a complete array processing solution, Hybex slide
racks can be seamlessly transferred to the
Little Dipper Microarray Processor for automatic
washing and drying. This robotic instrument moves and
agitates Hybex racks containing eight arrays through
five temperature controlled baths into an integral
centrifuge for drying. The Little Dipper Processor
eliminates process variability between operators that
use a patchwork of dishes, hotplates and thermometers to
wash arrays. For best results, use within a
NoZone or
NoZone TL Workspace to eliminate day-to-day assay
variability caused by high ozone levels.

Perform Enzyme Incubations with Heat Blocks
The Hybex heating base provided as part of the system
can be used as a tube/PCR plate heater with the use of
removable blocks. The heated lid eliminates cap
condensation which can alter sample composition when
performing IVT and other everyday enzyme incubations.
Several blocks are available:
|
 |
96
x 0.2 ml PCR tubes or single PCR plate [Cat.
#1057-31-0] |
|
|
60
x 0.6 ml tubes [Cat. #1057-33-0] |
|
|
32
x 1.5 ml tubes [Cat. #1057-34-0] |

Heat Liquids with a Waterbath Insert
The Hybex system can be used to heat water or
buffer using a durable, waterproof insert [Cat.
#1057-35-0]. Ideal for washing racks of
microarrays or for slides used in FISH/ISH. The
waterbath insert is easily removed for cleaning.
.............................................................................................................................................................................................
Consistently Delivers Accurate
Temperatures
The Hybex Microarray Incubator precisely
controls incubation temperatures to ±0.2°C from
set point. To ensure consistent day-to-day
results, the unit is easily calibrated with an
optional NIST certified digital thermometer
[Cat. #1051-52-0].
.............................................................................................................................................................................................
Small and Portable—Ideal for
Cramped Laboratories
The Hybex heating unit is provided in a
package the size of a shoe box, weighing
about five pounds. With benchspace at a
premium, the Hybex unit takes up little
room and can be easily moved from place
to place for sharing or for storage
between uses.
