PCR WORKSTATION
Polymerase chain reac tion* (PCR) is a simple and inexpensive technique
to make multiple copies of a targeted nucleotide sequence from a DNA
sample and to amplify sequences from small samples. This technique is
widely used in genetics laboratories that work with DNA and RNA.
Because PCR amplification is extremely sensitive to contamination,
prevention of contamination requires good laboratory practices to
minimize external or cross-contamination during reagent preparation,
sample preparation, and sample amplification.
* Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a patented process
owned by Hoffman La Roche.

DESIGN
Professional qualit y Air Science laminar flow hoods comply with
current technical and safety regulations.
The cabinet frame and work surfaces, comprised of industrial
components, are durable and chemically resistant.
The Air Science filter assembly is easy to access, easy to change,
plus a unique filter clamping design eliminates bypass leakage of
the main filter.
An optional stainless steel work surface includes lips on
all four sides to contain spills.
Stackable sections make cabinets highly portable and
enable quick setup.
RELIABILITY
Air Science PCR work stations use an energy-efficient ebm-papst
EC blower for long life and dependable performance.
Air Science uses long-life HEPA filters without aluminum
separators to increase filter efficiency, minimize the potential for
leakage, and increase filter life.

FILTRATION
At the heart of the PCR work station is innovative
filtration technology. The Multiplex Filtration System
consists of a pre-filter and main filter. The mechanical
design enhances safety, convenience, and overall
value.
• The disposable pre-filter is accessible from
the exterior top of the cabinet.
• A filter clamping mechanism allows for the
filter to be easily installed and ensures an
even seal at the filter peripheral face at all
times to prevent bypass leakage.
• The filter chamber prevents contaminated
air from contacting internal cabinet
mechanisms.
AIRFLOW
Room air enters from the top of the cabinet through the disposable
pre-filter where larger particles are trapped, increasing the service
life of the main HEPA filter.
Air is forced evenly across the HEPA filter to deliver a flow of pure,
uniform air within the work zone to dilute and flush airborne contaminants from the work area. A nominal filter face velocity of up to 0.45
m/s (90 fpm) ensures that there is suf ficient number of air changes
within the work zone to eliminate cross-contamination and to maintain
optimum cleanliness.
Purified air travels across the work zone to the work surface in a
vertical, unidirec tional downflow stream and then exit s the work zone
across the open cabinet front.
FILTER CONFIGURATION
P. The pre-filter may be replaced while unit is in operation.
H. The main filter is easy to replace; no tools required. The filter
clamps tightly against the filter gasket to prevent filter bypass and to
maintain filter integrity.
