PCR Vertical Laminar Flow Cabinet - 2 ft Version

Esco® PCR Vertical Laminar Flow Cabinet has been designed specifi cally for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) applications. Unlike conventional dead air boxes, this enclosure features ISO Class 4 (US Federal Standard 209E Class 10) product protection within the work zone by vertical laminar airfl ow. It is a unique, superior and economical alternative to conventional dead-air boxes and passive chambers traditionally used for PCR applications.

Product Highlights

• True vertical laminar airflow with a large filter covering the entire work zone within the cabinet for better protection against cross contamination, as compared to conventional dead-air boxes.
  
  
• High-quality polyurethane pre-filter and main H13 HEPA filter with a typical efficiency of 99.9995% at both 0.3 and 0.12 microns provide the best product protection in the world; typical HEPA filter lifespan is more than 3 years depending on ambient operating conditions and total number of hours in usage.
  
  
• A powerful 253.7 nanometer 20-watt UV lamp is placed behind the front panel out of the operator's direct line of sight, ensuring maximum operator comfort and safety; This unique placement design eliminates "dead zones" and ensures all exposed interior surfaces are decontaminated effectively.
  
  
• Easily accessible adjustable UV-timer (from 0 - 60 minutes) for precise decontamination cycle control.
  
  
• Integral safety cover (constructed of 5mm / 0.2" UV-absorbing beta radiation resistant polycarbonate - superior to conventional materials such as acrylic) with two operating positions; fully open (self-supporting with spring hinges) during normal use and fully closed during UV decontamination of interiors.
  
  
• Effective safety features to prevent operator exposure to harmful UV rays; interlock system ensures UV lamps do not activate unless safety cover is closed; in case the cover is accidentally opened the UV lamps will also automatically deactivate.
  
  
• Built-in warm white, 5 000k electronically ballasted lighting offers excellent illumination throughout the work zone in order to reduce operator fatigue and is comfortable to the eyes. Light tubes are mounted out of the air stream for better airflow uniformity.
