PCR laboratory workstation UVC/T-AR

for DNAfor sample preparationbenchtop

For the preparation of PCR reactions and many other methods in molecular biology, a contamination-free working environment is required. The UVC/T-AR PCR Workstation is designed for DNA/RNA decontamination in the Laboratory working place. The UVC/T-AR is a Bench top model, constructed from metallic skeleton and Plexiglas and has a painted metal working place and a digital timer control of UV exposure. One open 25 W UV-lamp substantially decreases contamination level during UV-exposure (15-30 min). White 15 W lamp provides local illumination of the working place and ensures good conditions for visual control of operation. The Model UVC/T-AR includes not only traditional UV source for direct lighting the surface of the inner working place of the PCR-box, but also additional UV air flow cleaner (UV - recirculator) for biosafety DNA decontamination to protect the user from direct UV-light during operation. UV-recirculator consists of a UV lamp, fan and dust filters organized in a special box for maximum increasing (1000 x fold) density of UV-light leading sufficiently to effectivity of DNA inactivation. UV-recirculator generates 100 volumes of the PCR per 1 hour air flow exchange giving maximum aseptic conditions inside the box.
