INTRODUCTION
The PEQLAB PCR Workstation Pro is designed as an ideal environment for the manipulation of
DNA and RNA, especially for the setup of PCR assays. Contaminations can lead to false or mis-
leading results which costs time and money. The PEQLAB PCR Workstation Pro minimizes the
risk of contamination. It provides a 'separated room', e.g. for the setup of PCR reactions.
The high intensity surface UV tubes inactivate DNA as a source of contamination between experi-
ments. In addition, an UV Air Recirculator is integrated into the workstation system which reduces
airborne contaminants during experiments. UV light is effectively blocked by solid polycarbonate
screens to ensure maximum protection of the user.
The surface of the workstation consists of stainless steel, which is very robust, can easily be
cleaned and has an antimicrobial effect.
The PEQLAB PCR Workstation Pro offers a controlled environment for PCR and RNA applications
that protects your samples and helps to achieve optimal results.
