Purair PCR Laminar Flow Cabinet - 3 foot

Polymerase Chain Reaction1 (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.



The Purair PCR laminar flow cabinet employs the Air Science Multiplex HEPA Filtration Technology to create a safe, energy-efficient contaminant-free environment. It is ideally suited for use with non-hazardous contaminants and when flexible access to the instrumentation in the cabinet is required.

Purair PCR cabinets maintain a 0.45 m/s or 90 fpm air flow velocity, measured 6"/150mm from the filter face, with a uniformity of +/- 20% across the filter face. This face velocity is in compliance with USA and international standards for safety and performance



Includes fluorescent cabinet lamp located away from laminar flow area, built-in ultraviolet lamp with timer, a double-flap safety cover of 0.2" (5 mm) UV absorbing beta radiation resistant polycarbonate, decontamination Shelf: Mounted on the back wall is proximate to the UV lamp for maximum exposure, safety interlock tjatprevents accidental operator exposure when door is opened, and stainless steel worksurface.
