DNA/RNA UV-Cleaner Boxes
DNA/RNA UV-cleaner boxes (UVC/T-AR, UVC/T-M-AR, UVT-B-AR and UVT-S-AR) are designed for clean operations with DNA samples. They provide protection against contamination.
All models are bench-top type, made of metal framework, glass (or plexiglass) walls and working surface painted with powder enamel or made of stainless steel. UV-cleaner boxes are equipped with an open UV lamp installed in the upper hood. UV-radiation from the open lamps disinfects the working area inactivating DNA/RNA fragments during 15–30 min of exposure. A digital timer controls the duration of the direct UV irradiation. A daylight lamp provides proper illumination of the working surface.
UV-cleaner box is equipped with a flow-type bactericidal UV cleaner–recirculator AR, which provides constant decontamination inside the box during operation. They are recommended for operations with DNA/RNA amplicons. UV cleaner-recirculator AR consists of a UV lamp, a fan and dust filters organized in a special body to protect a user working with a UV-cleaner box against UV light.
Recirculator increases the maximum density of UV light, making it sufficiently effective for DNA/RNA inactivation. The UV–recirculator processes 100 UV-cleaner box volumes per hour, creating permanent aseptic operation conditions inside the UV-cleaner box.
