Laboratory Equipment & Services Information System by Centralized Laboratory Management Office (CeLMO)

DNA/RNA UV-cleaner box UVC/T-M-AR is designed for clean operations with DNA samples. UV-cleaner box provide protection against contamination.

Model is a bench-top type, made of metal framework, glass walls, working surface made of stainless steel.

UV-cleaner boxes are equipped with an open UV lamp installed in the upper hood. UV-radiation from the open lamps disinfects the working area inactivating DNA/RNA fragments during 15–30 min of exposure. A digital timer controls duration of the direct UV irradiation. A daylight lamp provides proper illumination of the working surface.

UV-cleaner boxes are equipped with a flow-type bactericidal UV cleaner–recirculator AR, which provides constant decontamination inside the box during operation. They are recommended for operations with DNA/RNA amplicons.

UV cleaner–recirculator AR consists of a UV lamp, a fan and dust filters organized in a special body so that a user working with a UV-cleaner box is protected against UV light. Recirculator increases the maximum density of UV light making it  sufficiently effective for DNA/RNA inactivation. The UV–recirculator processes 100 UV-cleaner box volumes per hour, creating permanent aseptic conditions of operation inside the UV-cleaner box.

This equipment is used in DNA and RNA works including real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR), reverse transcriptase PCR, genotyping etc.
