PCR Workstation
Airvolution PCR Workstation –
A PCR workstation is a specialized laboratory enclosure designed to provide a controlled, contamination-free environment for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) procedures. It prevents cross-contamination by using HEPA filtration, UV sterilization, and laminar airflow, ensuring reliable DNA/RNA amplification results.
Contamination Control:
- UV-C sterilization eliminates DNA/RNA contaminants before and after use.
- HEPA filters remove airborne particles, preventing contamination.
- Smooth, non-porous surfaces for easy cleaning and decontamination.
Airflow & Ventilation:
- Laminar airflow ensures a clean working environment by directing sterile air downward.
- Some models include built-in fans to maintain positive pressure and prevent external contaminants.
Work Area & Construction:
- Transparent acrylic or tempered glass panels provide clear visibility.
- Chemical-resistant stainless steel or powder-coated surfaces for durability.
- UV-protective shields to minimize exposure risks during sterilization.
UV & Lighting System:
- UV light timer allows controlled decontamination cycles.
- LED illumination ensures optimal visibility for precise pipetting and sample handling.
Control & Safety Features:
- Digital display for monitoring UV exposure time and airflow.
- Interlocking safety mechanisms to prevent UV exposure while in use.
- Low-noise operation for a comfortable laboratory environment.
Applications:
- Molecular Biology & Genetics – DNA/RNA amplification and sequencing.
- Clinical & Diagnostic Labs – Pathogen detection and genetic testing.
- Pharmaceutical & Biotech Research – Drug development and quality control.
- Forensic Science – DNA profiling and analysis.
Advantages:
- Prevents Contamination – UV sterilization and HEPA filtration ensure accurate results.
- Enhances Workflow – Provides a clean, organized workspace for PCR setup.
- User-Friendly – Digital controls, safety features, and ergonomic design.
- Portable & Versatile – Suitable for various lab settings without requiring ducting.

Class II A2 Biosafety Cabinet
When handling microorganisms, it's crucial to safeguard operators, products, and the environment from biological pathogens.
Horizontal Laminar Flow Cabinet
A laminar flow cabinet provides a sterile workspace by using filtered air to create a smooth, unidirectional airflow that protects samples from contamination.
Filter Bank And Housing
A filter bank for air consists of multiple filters that capture different particle sizes to improve air quality, used in HVAC systems and industrial applications. A filter housing for air holds and protects the filters, ensuring proper alignment, preventing air bypass, and allowing easy filter replacement.
