PCR Enclosures / LABCONCO

PCR Enclosures minimize risk of sample cross contamination during polymerase chain reaction experiments.

Purifier Filtered PCR Enclosures

Purifier Filtered PCR Enclosures direct HEPA-filtered air downward over the work area to provide ISO Class 5 (formerly Class 100) conditions and protect your work from particulate contamination. These specialized vertical clean benches provide a controlled environment in which to perform polymerase chain reaction experiments. These enclosures include a variable digital timer that provides UV light exposure continuously or in user-selected increments of 5, 10, 15, 30, 60, 120 or 240 minutes to deactivate DNA and RNA contaminants. When the set time expires, the UV light automatically switches off in preparation for the next experiment.

Purifier Filtered PCR Enclosures do not provide protection to the user and should not be used in conjunction with biohazardous material, toxins or radionuclides.

Purifier Filtered PCR Enclosures are available in 2, 3 and 4' widths.
Labconco also offers Purifier Horizontal Clean Benches that direct HEPA-filtered air horizontally over the work area and Purifier Vertical Clean Benches that direct HEPA-filtered air down over the work area.



Purifier Non-Ventilated PCR Enclosures

Purifier Non-Ventilated PCR Enclosures provide an enclosed non-ventilated work space for conducting polymerase chain reaction procedures. These enclosures include a UV light with timer so that interior surfaces may be decontaminated and trace DNA denatured during periods of non-use.

The user may select from eight time settings. The UV light automatically shuts off when time expires, signally the enclosure is ready for the next experiment. Because these enclosures do not provide protection to the user, they should not be used in conjunction with biohazardous material, toxins or radionuclides. You and your safety officer must carefully assess the risk associated with any operation performed in a Purifier Non-Ventilated PCR Enclosure.
