This listing is for a TESTED Condition HOEFER UVC-500 CROSSLINKER as can be seen in the pictures.
IMPORTANT: DOES POWER ON AND LIGHTS 4 OF THE 5 LAMPS, ONE OF THEM THE ONE IN THE MIDDLE DOES NOT LIGHT UP.
WE TOOK THE LAMP OUT AND PLACED IT ON THE SPOT NEXT TO IT AND IT LIT UP PERFECTLY SO AT THIS POINT WE DO NOT KNOW WHETHER THIS IS CROSSLINKER's AUTOMATIC SYSTEM ADJUSTING THE INTENSITY SINCE THESE UNITS DO THAT OR IF IT COULD BE A PROBLEM WITH THE MIDDLE LIGHT SOCKETS.
WE THINK IT IS IMPORTANT FOR BUYER TO BE AWARE OF THAT. FOUR OF THE LAMPS WORK PERFECTLY AT THE SET PROGRAM, WE DO NOT HAVE THE EXPERTISE TO KNOW WHETHER THE MIDDLE LAMP DOESN'T LIGHT UP BECAUSE OF A PROBLEM OR BECAUSE THIS IS AN AUTOMATIC SET UP, NEVERTHELESS THE FOUR LIGHTS THAT DID LIGHT UP ARE STRONG AND FIRM AND LIGHT UP EVERY TIME WE TESTED THEM WHICH WAS AT LEAST 20 TO 30 TIMES JUST TO MAKE SURE!!!
Unit came from a Federal University and it does power on and does work.

UV Crosslinker function and description
The Hoefer™ UVC 500 Ultraviolet Crosslinker provides a uniform and intense source of ultraviolet (UV) light for such uses as:
• DNA crosslinking
• DNA nicking
• Rapid restriction site mapping
• Testing RecA function
• Ultraviolet sterilization
• Elimination of PCR contamination
The internal photo-feedback system continually measures the energy delivered within the chamber
and automatically deactivates the UV light source once the programmed energy level is reached.
This system also automatically adjusts to variations in UV intensity that occur as lamps age.
Shows normal used signs of wear, please check pictures carefully, please check the many pictures available here.
