Overview

The Australian Made Clyde-Apac PCR 60 Laminar Flow Cabinets are designed to provide a high level of contamination control for sensitive laboratory procedures. These vertical laminar flow workstations are perfect for installation on standard laboratory benches, optional floor stands, or trolleys, making them versatile and adaptable to various laboratory setups.

Key Features:

Vertical Laminar Airflow:
- Creates a biologically clean, particle-free work environment.
- Reduces cross-contamination during sample preparation.
Air Recirculation:
- Partial recirculation of air leaving the work zone reduces air turbulence.
- Extends the life of HEPA filters for prolonged use.
UV Protection:
- Short-wavelength UV lamp inactivates residual DNA/RNA particles to prevent carryover contamination.
- UV lamp operates only with the fan switched off.
- UV shield must be fitted whenever the UV lamp is in use for safety.
Compact Design:
- Compact dimensions minimise the need for bench space.
- Can be installed on standard laboratory benches or optional floor stands or trolleys.
Personnel Protection (PCR60R Series):
- Air barrier at the work opening and HEPA filtration of the exhaust air.
- Room airflow maintains an air barrier between the operator and the work zone, ensuring operator safety.
- Positive pressure zones are surrounded by negative pressure zones to contain hazardous aerosols.

Construction and Compliance:

High-Quality Construction:
- Designed and manufactured in Australia.
- Robust construction ensures long-term durability and reliability.
Factory Testing and Certification:
- Each unit is factory-tested and certified by a NATA-registered laboratory, ensuring compliance with the highest standards.

Applications:

Sample Preparation:
- Ideal for PCR sample preparation, minimising cross-contamination.
Biological Research:
- Suitable for applications requiring a clean and controlled environment.
DNA/RNA Work:
- Perfect for preventing carryover contamination in DNA/RNA work with UV inactivation.
Personnel Safety (PCR60R Series):
- Ensures operator protection during the handling of hazardous materials.

The Clyde-Apac PCR 60 Laminar Flow Cabinets offer advanced contamination control for laboratories engaged in sensitive and critical procedures. Their vertical laminar airflow, combined with features like UV inactivation and personnel protection, makes them a versatile and essential addition to any laboratory focused on maintaining high standards of cleanliness and safety. Choose the PCR 60 series for reliable performance and enhanced protection in your laboratory environment.

Support & FAQs

At Thermoline, we strive to supply helpful customer support to ensure that you get the most out of our products. We are committed to providing whatever support our customers need, wherever they are in the world. If you can't find your solution in the below FAQs or Knowledge Base, please contact our friendly support team.

Where are the clean air cabinets supplied by Thermoline manufactured?: All of the cabinets we supply are Australian Made by AES Environmental. AES has several manufacturing locations in Australia, and all of the Laminar Flow and High-Efficiency Filtration products are produced in their Minto, NSW facility.
Can Thermoline arrange installation and commissioning of my cabinet?: Yes. Our suppliers have service divisions in most Australian states and territories and relies on qualified partners for other geographical locations. Each team is capable of providing on-site installation and NATA certification.
What is a PCR cabinet?: A PCR cabinet, also called a PCR workstation or PCR hood, is designed for work with DNA samples in clean environment when conducting PCR diagnostics. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is a simple way to obtain multiple copies of a nucleotide sequence from a DNA sample and to amplify sequences from small samples.
Is a PCR cabinet a ventilated enclosure?: The PCR cabinets provide a non-ventilated, circulation-free work area to reduce cross-contamination of samples in applications where laminar flow air is not required during PCR experiments.
