Lead Time: 4-6 weeks

PCR cabinets are specialised laboratory enclosures used for performing Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) experiments by providing a sterile, contaminant-free environment for sample and reagent preparation. They prevent cross-contamination using HEPA filters to create laminar airflow and/or UV-C lights to disinfect surfaces between uses.

This is crucial for obtaining accurate results in molecular biology, forensics, and diagnostics.

Primary uses

• Sample and reagent preparation:

  They create a sterile environment for handling samples and preparing reagents, a critical step in the PCR workflow.

• Preventing contamination:

  Their primary function is to protect sensitive DNA and RNA samples from external contamination, which could lead to false-positive results.

• Genomic and molecular biology research:

  PCR cabinets are essential tools in labs performing gene amplification and analysis

• Forensic applications:

  They are used in forensic labs to process DNA evidence, like those from crime scenes, while preventing cross-contamination.

• Genetic testing and diagnostics:

  They are used in clinical settings to prepare samples for identifying genetic disorders, viruses, or bacteria.

Key features and how they work

• Laminar airflow:

  Many cabinets use a controlled, vertical laminar airflow that pushes filtered air down to create a clean workspace and prevent airborne particles from entering.

• UV-C sterilization:

  Built-in UV lamps are used to inactivate any existing DNA/RNA fragments on the work surface between experiments.

• Safety mechanisms:

  To protect the user, many cabinets have safety interlocks that automatically shut off the UV lamps if the front sash is accidentally opened.

• Airtight and enclosed environment:

  They provide a closed-loop system where air is continuously circulated and filtered to maintain a high level of cleanliness.

• Safety warning: It is important to note that standard PCR cabinets are not designed to protect the operator from hazardous materials. They are for contamination prevention only, and should not be used for work involving unknown or hazardous agents

ADVANTAGE: 1. LED display. 2. UV sterilization system. 3. HEPA filter efficiency 99.999% at 0.3��m. 4. Interlock function: UV lamp only can be switched on when the front window is closed, ensuring operator safety. 5. UV timer (1-99 minutes): When the setting time expires, the UV lamp automatically switches off in preparation for the next experiment. PCR Cabinet PCR-800 TECHNICAL PARAMETERS:
