Description
PCR Cabinet Specifications:
PCR cabinet are designed to reduce the risk of contamination while performing Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) experiments, it direct HEPA-filtered air downward over the work area to provide ISO Class 5 (formerly Class 100) conditions and protect your work during preparatory procedures and amplifications.
PCR Cabinet Features:
- Perforations at the back wall of the work zone which are designed to eliminate air turbulence and the possibility of dead air corners in the work zone.
- Variable digital timer that provides UV light exposure continuously or in user-selected increments of 15, 30, 60,120 till 999 minutes to deactivate DNA and RNA contaminants.
- Intuitive and easy-to-use microprocessor controller with LCD display, graphical and digital display of all the operating status of each function, such as filter life, UV life etc.
- Ergonomic control panel location, centered and angled down for an easy reach & viewing.
- The non-direct light source design can effectively relieve the operator’s visual fatigue under the condition of ensuring the illumination.
- Different sizes available from 2 feet to 6 feet, benchtop use or mounted on a mobile base.
- Brushed stainless steel work surface is for easy cleaning.
Safety Performance:
- Audio and visual alarm on filter life, UV life etc.
- Front sliding sash interlock with fan and UV lamp.
- Front sash and side windows are made of UV-resistant tempered glass.
- The host and sockets have independent capacitors to prevent current overload.
Humanized design:
- Standard shelves with IV bar.
- Memory function in case of power-failure.
- HEPA filter and UV life indicators facilitate a timely replacem ent plan.
- Two sides glass windows installed for easy experiment observation.
- Easy-to-change pre-filter installed could extend the HEPA filter’s lifetime.
- Equipped with temperature sensor to show the real temperature during operation.
- Waterproof socket provide convenience for small instruments to be used in the operating area.
FAQ:
1. Difference between dead-air PCR cabinet and Scitek PCR cabinets?
Dead-air PCR cabinet are non-ventilated enclosure with dead-air inside the work zone. Scitek PCR cabinets provide HEPA-filtered vertical laminar airflow to the work zone.
2. Can PCR cabinet be used when working with microorganism?
No. PCR cabinets do not provide user protection and cannot be used with infectious materials. These are mainly used for Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) experiments, such as PCR master mix and reagent preparation and amplification
3. Difference between Scitek vertical laminar flow cabinet and PCR cabinet?
Both vertical laminar flow cabinets and PCR cabinets provide ISO Class 5 (formerly Class 100) conditions in the work zone for the sample protection. PCR cabinet have standard shelves with IV bar for more convenience of PCR preparation and amplification work.
