Preparation station

The Prep station provides continual protection during the preparation and temporary storage of your PCR sample tubes

Protect products and samples from contamination with Class 100 clean air or better. A HEPA filter rated 99.99% efficient at 0.3 microns and a Dacron prefilter rated 65% efficient at 6 microns create a particulate-free work area of better than 100 ppm.

• Prep station provides better than Class 100 air for prep of sterile PCR samples
• UV sterilization lamp destroys potentially contaminating DNA or RNA
• Provides continuous protection during prep and storage of PCR sample tubes
• Worksurface is a smooth, easy-to-clean white polyethylene surface

To further reduce the risk of contamination of samples, the prep station incorporates a 15 waft UVsterilization lamp to destroy any potentially contaminating DNA or RNA. A high-efficiency centrifugal, brushless AC motor with a dynamically balanced backward curved impeller is mounted inside a vinyl-painted steel blower housing. The variable speed control allows for continuous adjustment of airflow from 30% up to full speed.

The enclosure is constructed of UV stabilized acrylic (1/2/1, clear acrylic top for easy viewing and 3/8" clear acrylic side panels) The hood includes a vertically hinged polycarbonate door. The work surface is a smooth, white polyethylene surface, which is easily cleanable. A 15 waft fluorescent lamp is provided for ample lighting of the work area. Both the UV and fluorescent lights are provided with a control switch.

Includes HP-2 and PF-IR filters.
