Ultraviolet PCR Cabinets and Workstations Page 9
Use of PCR Equipment inside the Cabinet or Workstation
Shelves are provided for placement of small tools for decontamination.
Power outlets allow use of shakers, rockers, and other equipment for PCR experiments inside the
PCR chamber. The equipment can be decontaminated between experiments.
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.
NOTE: Crazing is a normal process for Makrolon
®
panels exposed to UV light. Crazing will occur
over a period of time. Reduce crazing by keeping exposure to UV to a minimum. Crazing may
occur within the warranty period and is regarded as normal wear and tear not covered by the
warranty. Makrolon
®
panels can be replaced. Refer to Replacement Parks for ordering information.
Operating the UV and Fluorescent White Lights
UV Keylock
The Ultraviolet PCR Cabinets and Workstations provide an automated process for eliminating
contamination by utilizing the germicidal properties of shortwave 254nm ultraviolet light. The UV
light is typically operated when no samples are inside the chamber. The chamber is
decontaminated, eliminating viable fungi, bacteria, and yeast.
To use the UV decontamination, turn the UV keylock ON. Then press the timer to operate the
germicidal lamp housed within the chamber. The UV timer allows selection of UV exposure time.
The timer may take a few seconds to initialize once the timer has power. The timer will only operate
when the door is shut and the magnetic safety switch on the door is engaged. When door is open
the timer will not operate.
