Midi UV Sterilisation Cabinet for PCR Preparation

The Midi UV Sterilisation Cabinet provides a convenient and controlled workspace for PCR preparation where limiting nucleic acid contamination is important. Designed for laboratories with restricted space and budget, this compact cabinet uses four powerful UV lamps to denature nucleic acids in approximately 5–30 minutes, making them unsuitable for amplification.

The cabinet combines effective UV decontamination with practical safety features and good visibility. Timer-controlled UV lamps help provide a controlled sterilisation cycle, while door safety switches automatically switch the UV lights off when the doors are opened. A white light provides clear visibility of the working area during preparation.

Key Features and Benefits

The Midi UV Sterilisation Cabinet is designed to provide a dedicated area for PCR preparation while helping laboratories manage contamination risks.

• Four powerful 15W UV lamps for effective nucleic acid inactivation.
• 5–30 minute UV decontamination capability for routine PCR preparation workflows.
• Timer-controlled UV operation for convenient and controlled treatment cycles.
• Door safety switches automatically turn off the UV lights when the doors are opened.
• Integrated white light provides excellent visibility inside the cabinet.
• Compact footprint makes the cabinet suitable for laboratories with limited bench or floor space.
• 24 kg construction provides a substantial and stable laboratory workstation.
• Available in 110V and 230V configurations.
• Optional versions are available with a spill tray.
• Suitable for trays measuring 68 × 54 cm, including CSR-TW4, CSR-TY4 and CSR-TL4 options.

Midi UV Sterilisation Cabinet for PCR Preparation

The cabinet is particularly useful for laboratories that need a dedicated PCR preparation area without installing a full clean-room environment. The UV system helps denature nucleic acids before PCR preparation, supporting contamination-control procedures.

Its reduced height and footprint allow the cabinet to fit into smaller laboratory areas that may otherwise be unused. This makes it a practical choice for molecular biology laboratories, research facilities, diagnostic environments and educational laboratories where space efficiency is important.

Why Choose This PCR Preparation Cabinet?

A dedicated UV PCR cabinet can help create a more controlled environment for PCR preparation. Instead of using valuable clean-room space for routine preparation work, laboratories can establish a compact preparation area specifically designed for nucleic acid decontamination.

The Midi model is particularly advantageous when laboratory space is limited. Its compact dimensions provide a useful balance between working area and footprint, while the four UV lamps provide effective coverage of the cabinet’s working surface.

The door safety switches are another important practical feature. When the doors are opened, the UV lamps automatically switch off, helping prevent direct exposure to UV radiation during normal operation.

The white-light illumination also makes routine preparation easier because users can clearly see materials, pipettes and other equipment inside the cabinet.

How to Use the Midi UV Sterilisation Cabinet

Before beginning PCR preparation, ensure that the cabinet and working area are prepared according to your laboratory’s established contamination-control procedure.

1. Place the required materials inside the cabinet.
2. Close the cabinet doors securely.
3. Set the appropriate UV treatment time using the cabinet’s timer-controlled system.
4. Allow the UV cycle to complete before opening the cabinet.
5. Once the UV cycle is complete, open the doors and switch to the white light for normal preparation work.
6. Follow your laboratory’s established cleaning and contamination-control procedures after use.

Important: UV exposure should be treated as part of a laboratory contamination-control procedure and should not be considered a substitute for appropriate cleaning, laboratory technique or other validated decontamination procedures.

Who Is This Cabinet For?

The Midi UV Sterilisation Cabinet is suitable for:

• Molecular biology laboratories
• PCR and qPCR laboratories
