UV Sterilisation Cabinet for PCR Preparation

The UV Sterilisation Cabinet for PCR Preparation by Cleaver Scientific provides a convenient controlled workspace for setting up PCR reactions while helping to limit contamination from nucleic acids. Designed as a practical alternative to a clean-room environment, the cabinet uses powerful UV lamps to denature nucleic acids and make them unsuitable for amplification.

The UV sterilisation cycle can inactivate nucleic acids within approximately 5 to 30 minutes, helping laboratories establish a cleaner working environment for PCR preparation. The cabinet also incorporates white lighting to provide clear visibility during laboratory procedures.

Key Features and Benefits

The UV Sterilisation Cabinet for PCR Preparation combines UV decontamination, controlled operation, and safety features in a dedicated PCR preparation workspace.

Powerful UV Decontamination

The cabinet is equipped with four 15 W UV lamps. According to the manufacturer, these UV lights can denature nucleic acids within 5 to 30 minutes, making them unsuitable for amplification. This helps reduce the potential for nucleic-acid contamination during PCR preparation.

Timer-Controlled UV Operation

The UV lamps are timer controlled, allowing the sterilisation process to be operated for a defined period. This provides a practical method for routine decontamination of the working area.

Built-In UV Safety Protection

Safety is an important feature of the cabinet. Door safety switches automatically turn the UV lights off when the cabinet doors are opened. This helps prevent direct user exposure to UV radiation during normal operation.

Efficient Work-Surface Decontamination

The cabinet is designed to provide efficient decontamination of the complete work surface. This creates a dedicated environment for PCR preparation and helps laboratories control contamination risks.

Clear Visibility During PCR Preparation

A 15 W white light provides illumination inside the cabinet, allowing users to see the working area clearly during laboratory procedures.

Technical Specifications

The specifications above are taken from the manufacturer’s product information. The product page lists the CSL-UVCAB family with 230 V and 110 V versions, as well as versions supplied with spill trays.

PCR Contamination Control

PCR is highly sensitive to nucleic-acid contamination. The UV Sterilisation Cabinet for PCR Preparation provides a dedicated workspace designed to help laboratories limit contamination during PCR reaction preparation.

The powerful UV lamps can denature nucleic acids before the workspace is used for preparation. Combined with timer-controlled operation and door safety switches, the system provides a practical approach to routine UV decontamination.

The cabinet is therefore particularly useful where laboratories need a dedicated preparation area without the cost or space requirements associated with a full clean-room environment.

Applications

The UV Sterilisation Cabinet for PCR Preparation can be used in laboratories involved in:

• PCR reaction preparation
• Molecular biology
• DNA and RNA research
• Genetic research
• Biotechnology
• Academic research
• Pharmaceutical research
• Diagnostic laboratory workflows
• Nucleic-acid research
• Routine PCR laboratory procedures

Cabinet Design

The cabinet provides an internal working area of 60 × 52.5 × 41 cm, while the overall unit measures 77 × 58 × 44 cm. At 19 kg, it provides a dedicated PCR preparation workspace while remaining suitable for laboratory bench installation.

The cabinet is designed for use with trays measuring 68 × 54 cm, including compatible CSR-TW4, CSR-TY4 and CSR-TL4 tray options.

Available Variations

The Cleaver Scientific UV Sterilisation Cabinet range includes several configurations:

• 110 V standard cabinet
• 230 V standard cabinet
• 110 V cabinet with spill tray
• 230 V cabinet with spill tray

The supplied page currently lists the 230 V standard version and 230 V spill-tray version among the available variations.

Why Choose the Cleaver Scientific UV Sterilisation Cabinet?

The cabinet combines a dedicated PCR preparation workspace with powerful UV decontamination and built-in safety controls. Four 15 W UV lamps provide the decontamination function, while the timer-controlled system helps simplify routine operation.

The door safety switches are particularly useful because the UV lamps automatically switch off when the doors are opened. This provides an additional safety measure when users need to access the working area.

For laboratories looking for a practical solution for PCR preparation and contamination control, the cabinet offers a compact alternative to establishing a dedicated clean-room environment.
