Lab Companion PW-21 PCR Workstation, 230V

Lab Companion PW-21 PCR Workstation, 230V

The Lab Companion PW-21 PCR Workstation is a state-of-the-art workspace designed to provide optimal protection, convenience, and safety during sensitive molecular biology tasks. With advanced features that minimize cross-contamination and ensure precise results, this workstation is ideal for laboratories requiring stringent cleanliness and efficiency.

Performance

• ISO Class 4 (US Class 10) HEPA Filter: Provides superior protection against cross-contamination by trapping 99.99% of particles as small as 0.3 ㎛. The average lifespan of the HEPA filter is approximately 3 years (lifespan may vary depending on room conditions).
• High-Quality Pre-Filter: Made of polyester fiber, the pre-filter features minimal pressure loss with an 85% arrestant rate (A.F.I. test), capturing larger particles and extending the life of the main HEPA filter.
• UV Sterilization: Equipped with a long-lasting 254 nm UV lamp that effectively sterilizes the workspace. The UV lamp boasts an average lifespan of 8,000 hours.
• Anti-Glare LED Lighting: Built-in LED lamp minimizes shadows, relieves eye strain, and ensures a clear, well-lit workspace with an intensity of more than 1,000 Lux.

Convenience

• Microprocessor-Based Control Panel: Easy-to-use controls simplify operation, allowing for precise adjustments to airflow and other settings.
• Powerful Blower System: A large-capacity blower ensures consistent laminar airflow, with adjustable speed for tailored performance.
• Digital Timer for UV Light: A programmable timer allows for easy setting of UV light exposure (up to 30 minutes) to deactivate DNA and RNA contaminants effectively.
• Easy Filter Replacement: Front-access design and cartridge-style filters make maintenance quick and hassle-free.
• Spacious Work Area: The workstation provides ample space for PCR processes, accommodating various lab equipment and supplies.

Safety

• Interlocking Safety Door: Automatically shuts off the UV lamp when the door is opened, preventing accidental UV exposure.
• UV-Blocking Panels: Transparent polycarbonate panels on the front and sides block 99.9% of UV rays while providing a clear view of the workspace.
• Over-Exposure Alarm: Built-in alarm prevents prolonged UV exposure, ensuring user safety.
• Over-Current Protection: Protects the workstation from electrical issues, enhancing reliability and durability.
