PCR Cabinet Airstream - ESCO

 BIOMEDIS ESCO Airstream - Polymerase Chain Reaction Cabinet

PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) is a process where millions of copies of DNA are amplified from a single copy or very few copies used as a template. This reaction is fundamental for almost all applications that require a high number of copies of the starting material and is used in all laboratories working with DNA and RNA.

Due to the high number of copies generated during PCR, it is essential to avoid possible contamination of the PCR reaction. Precautions should be taken during the sample and reagent preparation stages to minimize this risk. In addition to good laboratory practices, the ideal PCR laboratory should consist of three zones, each isolated from the other. Reagents should be prepared in the reagent preparation area and transferred to the sample preparation area through a pass box or within closed containers. After preparing the final reaction mixture, the tubes should be transferred to the amplification area, again through a pass box or in a closed container. After preparing the final reaction mixture, the tubes should be transferred to the amplification area, again through a pass box or in a closed container. The amplification and analysis of PCR results are carried out in this area.

To ensure contaminant-free samples, it is essential to work in an environment where air quality is controlled. This should be part of the equipment in the sample preparation area.

Beneficios clave:

• Laminar flow after passing through HEPA filters
• Airflow monitoring
• UV lamp & pre-filter change alarm

Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is a process in which millions of copies of DNA are amplified from a single copy, or low copy number template. This reaction is fundamental for almost all applications that require a high number of copies of the starting material and is used in all laboratories working with DNA and RNA.

• The true vertical laminar airflow with a large filter covering the entire work area inside the cabinet for better protection against cross-contamination, compared to conventional dead air boxes.
• High-quality polyester pre-filter and main HEPA filter with a typical efficiency of 99.99% at 0.3 microns provide the best product protection in the world; Typical HEPA filter lifespan is over 3 years, depending on operating conditions and total hours of use.
• Esco Sentinel TM Microprocessor control provides flexibility and full configurability according to user requirements.
• Administrator PIN can be set in the control to restrict unauthorized access to menu parameters.
• The UV decontamination cycle is fully programmable using the microprocessor keyboard; a timer will turn off the UV lamp after the set time period.
• Unique pre-filter change alarm and UV lamp replacement alarm make the cabinet the safest and easiest to use PCR cabinet on the market.
