PCR Workstation | PCR Cabinet | UV PCR Bench | PCR Workbench

Beschreibung

Benchtop UV PCR workbench („dead air or with optional UV Air Flow System“). The powerful 36 watt shortwave UV tube disinfects and effectively inactivates nucleic acids by causing pyrimidine dimers that block subsequent PCR amplification. Thus, UV irradiation of working surface and equipment after working will prevent unwanted PCR amplification for more reliable results. When the hatch is opened, the UV light is switched off automatically. An inbuilt daylight lamp insures a good illumination of the work zone. The tablet can be removed for easy and complete cleaning of the work surface. The frame and the work surface of this PCR workstation are made of powder coated aluminium, the side walls are made of break resistant polycarbonate and guarantee a reliable UV protection. In contrast to plexiglass (acrylic glass, PMMA), polycarbonate is insensitive to the usual laboratory wiping with 70 % ethanol and the mechanical stability is also significantly higher. The tray is also available in high-quality stainless steel (V2A). In the interior the PCR cabinet has 2 built-in power points, a shelf with supports for 3 pipettes and a holder for a glove box or wipes.

Which PCR Workstation is best suited for my needs?

By switching on the UVC light for 15 minutes before starting the PCR, the PCR Workstation classic achieves effective protection against cross-contamination. With a lifetime of the UV tube of approx. 8000h, a change of the UV tube is generally required no earlier than in 10 years and the classic version is extremely silent.
The PCR Workstation UV Flow offers additional protection against cross-contamination even during the preparation of the PCR reactions. This version is particularly recommended if there is not always time to irradiate the interior for 15 minutes before or after preparing the PCR reactions.
