Features of UV HEPA PCR
Main Features
UV PCR hoods use shortwave ultraviolet to control PCR contamination. HEPA/UV PCR systems additionally use a three-stage filter system.
Three-stage filter system:
- Pre-filter captures large dust particles
- Carbon filter (activated charcoal) eliminates gases, odor, smoke and also reduces ozone to improve microarray data quality
- HEPA (high efficiency energy particulate) filter blocks particles down to 0.3 microns
Three UV (UV3) sources:
- Filter area
- Chamber work area
- UV/air recirculator
- A 30-minute timer sets shortwave UV exposure to decontaminate apparatus and work chamber for specific times
- Antimicrobial coated metal surfaces reduce bacterial growth
- A safety shut-off switch automatically turns the ultraviolet light off when the door is open
- Place large instruments on the work area or tubes, flasks and pipettes on the two removable shelves
- Built-in power outlets allow operation of equipment for use in PCR applications
- Makrolon® panels are specially formulated to block UV wavelengths below 400nm
