In order to obtain reliable results in clinical and diagnostic polymerase chain reaction (PCR) work, it is necessary to maintain an ultra-clean work environment that is free from biological and particulate contamination. Additionally, UV radiation is needed to destroy post-procedure contaminants. PCR60TM cabinets provide a high degree of protection for products and apparatus in PCR applications. In addition to the product protection afforded by PCR60 cabinets, the PCR60R provides protection for personnel. This is achieved by an air barrier at the work opening and HEPA filtration of the exhaust air. Warning - PCR60 cabinets provide protection for products or experiments, but do not protect personnel from aerosols of hazardous materials that may be handled in the cabinet. For PCR applications where protection for products and personnel is required, PCR60R safety cabinets should be considered.
Cabinets are vertical laminar flow workstations designed for installation on standard laboratory benches, or on optional floor stands. Their compact dimensions reduce the need for bench space. They are designed and manufactured in Australia, and each unit is factory-tested and certified by a NATA-registered laboratory.
