Prevents DNA Carry-Over

Description

These state-of-the-art PCR cabinets are specially designed for pre- amplification sample preparation in controlled environment in order to prevent DNA carry-over. Any aerosol generated during the handling of the post amplification samples cannot enter the cupboard; any molecule of DNA herein contained is subsequently neutralised with the help of UV radiations.

Passive PCR enclosure (non ventilated)
Fluorescent light turns on automatically when opening the front glass or when UV lights turn off (user selectable)
Digital timer for UV lights with memory of the last setpoint
100% UV-safe
Front glass divided in three hinged sectors
Internal foldable shelf in glass
Working surface in chemical resistant polyethylene

Key Features & Benefits:

Dedicated Contamination Control: Creates a localized, clean workspace specifically for PCR setup and handling, physically separating these critical steps from potential sources of contamination.
Passive Protection: This non-ventilated enclosure effectively contains aerosols generated during pre-amplification, preventing their escape into the lab environment.
Integrated UV Decontamination: Features a built-in UV-C lamp with a user-friendly timer (up to 60 minutes with 1-minute intervals) to neutralize any residual DNA within the enclosure between uses. The system automatically switches to fluorescent lighting when the front panel is opened or the UV cycle completes.
100% UV-Safe Operation: Constructed with 6mm tempered glass that effectively blocks over 98% of UV radiation, ensuring user safety during the decontamination cycle. Microswitches further guarantee that the UV lamp operates only when the front panel is fully closed.
Optimized Workspace: The fully transparent work chamber provides excellent visibility. The front panel is often divided into three hinged sectors for easy access.
Durable and Easy to Clean: Built with robust materials, including a chemical-resistant polyethylene working surface, for longevity and effortless cleaning.
Convenient Features: Includes an internal foldable glass shelf to optimize workspace organization.
Safety Compliance: Meets electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) according to 89/336EC and safety requirements for electrical equipment for laboratory use as per EN 61010-1.
