UV3 HEPA PCR Workstation* Exterior Dimensions: 32.5H x 29W x 24D in. (826 x 737 x 610 mm) Interior Dimensions: 27.8W x 21.4D in. (706 x 544 mm) LIGHT SOURCES: 254nm UV: Filter area Chamber UV/air recirculator White: Chamber THREE-STAGE FILTERS: Pre-filter Carbon filter HEPA filter FEATURES INCLUDE: Three UV sources Three-stage filters Four power outlets Two shelves UV Timer (< 30 min.) Antimicrobial coated metal surfaces Makrolon® panels block below 400nm 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
