A PCR cabinet is an essential piece of equipment for any laboratory that performs sensitive PCR amplification and manipulation of DNA or RNA.
PCR cabinets are adopted in a wide range of disciplines including microbiology, haematology, cell culture and genetics to provide effective decontamination of solutions, reagents, and equipment before and during PCR manipulations.
PCR assays are highly susceptible to contamination which leads to false or inaccurate results. Ideally, laboratories working with genetic material should have a designated cabinet for PCR work for this reason.
The PCR FAST is an economical, space efficient, general purpose PCR UV cabinet that belongs to the latest generation of cabinets manufactured by our partners FASTER.
The cabinet ensures a complete sterile working environment thanks to the presence of UV light.
The PCR FAST cabinet is a bench-top type unit constructed from cold rolled epoxy painted steel painted with an antimicrobial coating, safety glass side/front wall and AISI 304 L stainless steel back wall and work surface.
With operating noise levels less than that of a household refrigerator the PCR FAST allows operators to carry out PCR work in peace!
