UV HEPA PCR Systems

Multi-featured equipment for eliminating PCR contamination! PCR equipment brings together UV irradiation and antimicrobial stainless steel to create a dual-attack environment against PCR contamination. HEPA/UV PCR models feature a four-stage filter assembly plus UV to eliminate contamination. Two sizes are available: cabinet and workstation.

UV HEPA PCR Systems

Applications

  • PCR Preparation and Amplification
  • Microbial research

UV PCR Systems

 

Main Features

Filtered and sterilized air treated by the UV/HEPA system flows into the PCR chamber. Control potential PCR contamination with built-in UV for inactivation of DNA between experiments. Shortwave UV can be used as a standard laboratory practice to reduce surface and airborne contaminants in the chamber.

  • Four stage filter system:
    • Pre-filter captures large dust particles
    • Carbon filter (activated charcoal) eliminates gases, odor, smoke and also reduces ozone to improve microarray data quality
    • HEPA (high efficiency energy particulate) filter blocks particles down to 0.3 microns
    • ZerOzone catalyst grid not only blocks ozone but it also supplies a gentle airflow onto the sample work area. This airflow creates a working environment that blocks entry of unwanted contaminants on PCR samples.
  • Three UV (UV3) sources:
    • Filter area
    • Chamber work area
    • UV/air recirculator
  • A 30-minute timer sets shortwave UV exposure to decontaminate apparatus and work chamber for specific times
  • Antimicrobial coated stainless steel reduces bacterial growth
  • A safety shut-off switch automatically turns the ultraviolet light off when the door is open
  • Place large instruments on the work area or tubes, flasks and pipettes on the two removable shelves
  • Built-in power outlets allow operation of equipment for use in PCR applications
  • Acrylic panels are specially formulated to block UV wavelengths below 400nm
