UV and UV HEPA PCR equipment brings together UV irradiation and antimicrobial coated stainless steel to combat PCR contamination. Two sizes are available - the PCR cabinet models feature a smaller work area than the workstation models. The workstation is designed for placement of large instruments on the work area or tubes, flasks and pipettes on the two removable shelves. Overhead white light brightly illuminates the work area. Four (on workstations) or two (on cabinets) built-in power outlets allow operation of equipment within the chamber. UV sterilising PCR equipment creates an ideal environment for preparing PCR and other samples by reducing the chance of sample contamination. Potential PCR contamination is controlled with built-in, high intensity, 254 nm UV tubes for inactivation of DNA and RNA between experiments.
- Antimicrobial coated stainless steel reduces bacterial growth
- A safety shut-off switch automatically turns the ultraviolet light off when the door is open
- Built-in power outlets allow operation of equipment for use in PCR applications
- Workstation includes a 30 minute timer to control UV decontamination
UV HEPA PCR systems:
UV HEPA PCR models feature a four-stage filter assembly plus UV to eliminate contamination: Pre-filter captures large dust particles; carbon filter (activated charcoal) eliminates gases, odour, smoke and also reduces ozone to improve microarray data quality; HEPA (high efficiency energy particulate) filter blocks particles down to 0,3 µm; and the ZerOzone catalyst grid blocks ozone. A very gentle downwards air pressure creates a working environment that blocks entry of unwanted contaminants on PCR samples.
