Lab Companion PW-21 PCR Workstation

Lab Companion PW-21 PCR Workstation

The Lab Companion PW-21 PCR Workstation is designed to provide a safe, efficient, and convenient solution for PCR preparation and contamination control. Combining advanced filtration, sterilization, and ergonomic design, this workstation ensures optimal performance for your sensitive applications.

Performance

• ISO Class 4 (US Class 10) HEPA Filter: Offers superior protection against cross-contamination, with a filtration efficiency of 99.99% at 0.3 ㎛. The HEPA filter has an average lifespan of 3 years, depending on the test room conditions.
• High-Quality Pre-Filter: Made of polyester fiber, this pre-filter traps larger particles, reduces pressure loss, and extends the life of the main HEPA filter, achieving 85% efficiency based on the A.F.I. test.
• UV Sterilization: A long-life 254 nm UV lamp effectively sterilizes the work area by deactivating DNA and RNA contaminants. The UV lamp has an impressive lifespan of 8,000 hours.
• Built-In LED Lighting: Anti-glare LED lamps provide over 1,000 lux illumination, minimizing shadows and reducing eye strain for users.

Convenience

• User-Friendly Control Panel: Microprocessor-based controls allow easy operation and precise adjustments.
• Adjustable Blower Speed: A large-capacity blower ensures optimal airflow, with easy speed adjustments available via the control panel.
• Digital Timer for UV Light: Set UV light exposure for up to 30 minutes with a digital timer, effectively deactivating contaminants. Features a wait-off function for safety.
• Easy Filter Replacement: Cartridge-style filters are accessible from the front for quick and hassle-free replacement.

Safety

• Interlocking Safety Door System: Automatically shuts off the UV light when the door is opened, preventing accidental exposure.
• UV-Blocking Panels: Transparent polycarbonate panels block 99.9% of UV radiation while providing a clear view of the workstation interior.
• UV Over-Exposure Alarm: Integrated alarms and over-current protection ensure user safety during operation.

Airflow System

• Vertical Laminar Flow: Ensures clean, uninterrupted airflow to maintain a contamination-free environment.
• Airflow Velocity: 0.4 m/s (78.7 fpm) optimal for PCR applications.
