PCR Workstations

PCR workstations are designed to reduce the risk of contamination while performing Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) experiments. These workstations offer a controlled and sterile environment by minimizing airborne contaminants and sterilizing work surfaces and tools between amplifications. PCR workstations provide a dedicated space within the lab for conducting PCR amplification of DNA or RNA, also known as PCR hoods. They are designed to control air circulation and prevent cross-contamination that can cause inaccurate results. These workstations may include features such as sterile work areas for aseptic techniques, high-efficiency fans, LED lighting, vertical laminar airflow with multiplex HEPA filtration technology, and UV lights for sterilization. There are two types of PCR hoods available, laminar flow and dead or still air, with laminar flow cabinets employing HEPA air filtration and UV light sterilization for maximum protection against contamination. PCR cabinets and workstations are available in different sizes and can be designed for benchtop use or mounted on a base or mobile cart. Below you will find a variety of PCR Workstation options from top manufacturers such as Erlab, PLAS-LABS, and UVP.
