Because PCR amplification is extremely sensitive to contamination, prevention of contamination requires good laboratory practices to minimize external or cross-contamination during reagent preparation, sample preparation and sample amplification.
The Purair® PCR laminar flow cabinet employs the Air Science® Multiplex™ HEPA filtration technology to create a safe, energy-efficient contaminant-free environment. This PCR workstation is ideally suited for use with non-hazardous contaminants and when flexible access to the instrumentation in the cabinet is required.
