NEW Purifier® Filtered PCR Enclosures Provide A Controlled Environment For Polymerase Chain Reaction Experiments

Purifier® Filtered PCR Enclosures provide a controlled environment to perform polymerase chain reaction experiments. ISO Class 5 air is constantly projected vertically down over the work area, minimizing the risk of cross contamination. During operation, room air is drawn through a prefilter in the top of the cabinet to trap large particles. Then, the air flows through a 99.99% efficient HEPA filter and is projected vertically over the work area. This HEPA-filtered air prevents contaminants from entering the work area and provides a particulate-free work environment that minimizes cross contamination.

The variable digital timer provides UV light exposure continuously or in user-selected increments of 5, 10, 15, 30, 60, 120, or 240 minutes to deactivate DNA and RNA contaminants. When the time expires, the UV light automatically switches off in preparation for the next experiment. Bi-fold doors close the sash opening while the UV light is on and prevent contaminants from entering when the enclosure is not in use.

The Purifier Filtered PCR Enclosures are available in 2-, 3- and 4-foot widths. An airflow monitor is offered as an option
