The PCR80S/120S Combination PCR Workstations, with DLTouch microprocessor-driven controller, allow the operator to maintain a Class 100 clean work area during PCR preparation (nucleic acid preparation) and amplification. Airborne contaminants are eliminated through pre-filtration and HEPA filtration. Class 100 vertical laminar airflow bathes the work surface and provides positive pressure at the face of the unit. This positive pressure minimizes potential airborne contaminants that may enter the workstation during amplification. DLTouch provides variable speed blower control allowing the operator to increase or decrease airflow relevant to the application requirements. DLTouch also provides constant monitoring of the filter, with audible/visual alarms to alert the user of a blocked filter. This workstations also provide 254 nm short-wave UV light to effectively irradiate contaminating DNA and RNA within minutes Short-wave UV bulbs (254 nm) have a definable useful life of 1000 hours in your workstation. The DLTouch Controller tracks UV bulb hours and alerts the user when to replace the UV bulb. The overlapping sash design prevents operator exposure to shortwave UV energy. The workstations are factory leak tested, certified and shipped fully assembled for simple installation on any Countertop.
1. Room air enters at"A" where it is cleaned via electrostatic pre-filtration.
2. Air then moves through the HEPA filter, capturing smaller particulate.
3. Clean vertical laminar flow air enters the chamber at "B"and exits at"C.
4. UV light sterilizes pipette tips, tubes and flasks.
Prefilter replacement
Prefilters should be inspected for dust/particulate saturation every month. With average use, the prefilters should be changed every 3 months as required in the controller.
1) Turn the workstation on and make sure the blower is running.
2) Place an appropriate poly bag on the base of the workstation. You will place the clogged prefilters inside the bag and seal it before removing it from the workstation.
3) Do not remove the prefilter from the workstation!
4) Place the prefilter inside the poly bag and remove for disposal.
5) Wipe any residue off of the prefilter grid and base of the workstation. Place the rag inside the bag with the prefilter and seal the bag.Dispose of the prefilters in accordance with your local guidelines for substances that have been used inside the workstation.
6) Inspect the preilter for blockage.
7) Slide one of the new prefilters onto the back prefilter supports. Rotate the front prefilter clips towards the prefilter so that the clips are secure against the frame.
8) A new system validation number must be logged into the controller each time a new prefilter is installed.
9) Dispose of your PPE in accordance with your local guidelines for the substances that have been used inside the workstation.
