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

Applications

  • PCR Preparation and Amplification
  • Microbial research

UV PCR hoods use shortwave ultraviolet to control PCR contamination. HEPA/UV PCR systems additionally use a three-stage filter system.


Three-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
  • 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 metal surfaces reduce 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
  • Makrolon® panels are specially formulated to block UV wavelengths below 400nm
