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
