RECAUTIONS
The Purifier Filtered PCR Enclosure is designed to provide particulate free protection
from airborne matter. During operation, room air is drawn from the top and filtered by
the HEPA filter providing Class 5 conditions inside the enclosure. The Purifier Filtered
PCR Enclosure delivers Class 5 air conditions when operating at downflow velocities
of 30 to 65 feet per minute. The HEPA filter is jacketed by positive pressure
preventing contaminated air inside the enclosure and ensuring Class 5 air conditions
inside the enclosure. After each Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) experiment, the
variable timed UV light can be run to decontaminate the work area from DNA and
RNA.
The Purifier Filtered PCR Enclosure HEPA filter is located behind the front panel.
Users are encouraged to routinely check airflow to satisfy Class 5 air conditions
inside the enclosure or purchase a model with an airflow monitor. For additional
surface decontamination inside the enclosure, users are encouraged to use the
variable digital timed UV light and UV sash closure.
