PCR Workstations & Hoods
Ensure Sample Integrity with Premium PCR Workstations, Laboratory Hoods & Enclosures
Even the microscopic trace of contamination can ruin an entire experiment in the sensitive field of molecular biology, particularly during Polymerase Chain Reaction preparation. A dependable containment solution is not open for negotiation to guard your valuable DNA and RNA samples against cross-contamination and airborne particulates. For accuracy and reproducibility in research facilities, clinical labs, and universities throughout the USA, our complete line of PCR Workstations and Hoods has been engineered to provide a sterile environment.
Unlike standard fume hoods, which protect the user, these enclosures are designed specifically to protect the sample. Whether you're setting up master mixes or handling sensitive genetic material, our range covers everything from passive "dead air" boxes to advanced active airflow systems.
Choose the Right Protection for Your Research
We have two kinds of enclosures available in stock, which best fit different laboratory needs:
- Dead Air Boxes: These enclosures offer protection from dust and aerosols without airflow inside the working area. They're suitable for standard PCR applications that don't require active airflow but do require UV sterilization.
- Laminar Flow Workstations: These units use HEPA filtration to bathe the work area in ISO Class 5 clean air for higher sterility requirements by actively preventing particulate entry.
Key Features & Benefits of Our PCR Enclosures:
- UV-C Decontamination: All models come with powerful 254 nm UV lamps that denature DNA/RNA between experiments very effectively, setting up a sterile workspace again.
- Safety Timers: digital timers integrated into UV light offer protection against bulb overuse and ensure protocols are followed precisely without exposure of users.
- Durable Construction: Manufactured with chemical-resistant materials like polycarbonate and polypropylene, which ensure the unit resists UV exposure and rigorous cleaning without crazing or cracking.
- 360-Degree Visibility: Transparency in build enables sufficient ambient light and unobstructed viewing of the work area to reduce eye fatigue with pipetting.
- Ergonomic Access: Features like folding sashes and corner-located cable ports facilitate easy positioning of thermocyclers, vortexers, and pipettes inside the hood.
- HEPA Filtration Options: Select models capture 99.99% of particulates and create an ultra-clean zone for the most sensitive applications.
