Use of PCR Equipment in the Chamber
Shelves are provided for placement of small tools for decontamination. The shelves slide into the
bracket on back of the unit.
Power plugs built into the chamber allow use of shakers, rockers, and other equipment for PCR
experiments. Equipment can be decontaminated between uses. To operate equipment within the
chamber, plug the equipment into the power plug. Specific power plugs are installed as shown in the
illustrations below.
NOTE: When operating equipment plugged into the outlets, combined Amps total is not to
exceed 8 Amps.
Operating the HEPA/UV System
Push the HEPA/UV power switch to operate the HEPA/UV filter system. The airflow fan setting can be
adjusted from Low to High, circulating anywhere from 22 to 50 feet per minute (FPM) of air. The filter
system consists of:
•
Pre-filter to preserve the life of other filters by capturing large dust particles
•
Carbon filter to remove ozone, gases, odor
•
HEPA filter provides a barrier (99.99%) against dust, bacteria and mold down to 0.3 micron
particles (NOTE: The HEPA filter does not prevent particulates from entering the workstation when
the Makrolon
®
door is open).
