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.

and UV lamp timer.
B. Main Filter: Main HEPA filter with 99.99% efficiency
for 0.3 micron particulates.
C. Pre-Filter: The pre-filter can be changed while the
unit is operating to prevent operator exposure to
chemical vapors.
D. Fan: High-performance ebm-papst EC fan.
E. Stand: Optional base stand converts to mobile
cart with optional locking casters.
F. Lighting: Compact LED cabinet lamp located away
from laminar flow area.
G. UV Lamp: Built-in ultraviolet lamp with timer
permits decontamination between PCR cycles.
Includes a double-flap safety cover of 0.2" (5 mm)
UV absorbing 254 nm beta radiation resistant
polycarbonate; provides superior operator
protection while allowing easy access
to the work zone. Timer can be set over range
of 0 to 60 minutes or set to HOLD.
H. Pass Through Ports: Convenient rear wall pass-
through ports for safe routing of instrument
cords, cables, and leads.
I. Filter Door Lock: Prevents unauthorized removal
or accidental exposure to dirty filters.
J. Ergonomic Design: Ergonomically angled front
improves reach and user comfort.
K. Work Surface: Large polypropylene work surface,
white or black standard with optional stainless
steel work surface available.
L. Decontamination Shelf: Mounted on the back wall
near the UV lamp for maximum exposure.
M. Magnetic Door Latch: Safety interlock prevents
operator exposure to UVs when door is opened
during decontamination cycle.
N. Double-Hinged Self-Locking Front Sash: The
magnetic sash closure protects samples on the
work surface from contamination with up to 90
fpm air flow.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
360 Degree Visibility: Clear back and side panels allow
ambient light into the chamber and provide users with
an unobstructed view of contents.
Standards Compliant: Performance specifications and
construction meet or exceed relevant standards to
ensure operator safety.
Construction: All models are available in either metal
or polypropylene construction, specify when ordering.
Available in 120V, 60Hz or 230V, 50Hz models.
