DNA Amplification Made Simple

Our energy-efficient PCR cabinets (polymerase chain reaction) create sterile workspaces to prevent sample contamination in DNA/RNA sample sequencing and amplification processes. We use a combination of HEPA filtration and Smart Safe UV technology to provide the best-in-class user protection available in today's market. With a five-inch touchscreen and full polypropylene build, we guarantee a high-quality corrosion-free product.

Product Benefits

Clean Room Construction

HEPA filtration captures 99.97% at 0.12um with ISO 6 (Class 1000) cleanliness and easy-clean polypropylene construction.

Ergonomic Design

Incorporating functionality and form with optional stands to prioritise staff accessibility no matter the location.

Smart UV Technology

Sensor-based "Smart Safe" technology prevents harmful UV exposure with intuitive touch-screen controls.

Custom Size & Spec

Flexible manufacturing grants seamless control over the cabinet's exterior dimensions, integrated technology, and accessories.

Dead Air Boxes & HEPA PCR Cabinets

We manufacture traditional dead air boxes with UV decontamination technology & HEPA filtered polymerase chain reaction cabinets. While both product ranges create sterile environments (via UV) for sample protection, HEPA cabinets produce a constant stream of downflow air. This functionality adds an additional layer of protection and is a cost-effective alternative to vertical laminar flow hoods.

What Are PCR Cabinets Used For?

Polymerase chain reaction, commonly known as PCR or molecular photocopying, is a scientific method used in molecular biology. It describes the process of DNA sequencing to create copies (in the millions) of small DNA segments. It's a popular process used across the criminal forensic industries and biomedical research. Applications include fingerprint analysis, virus detection and the diagnosis of genetic disorders.

Sealed LED lighting offers eco-friendly, cost-effective 800 LUX illumination.

Regulate your decontamination procedures and airflow controls with our full-colour touch-screen control panel.

Our bench-mounted dead air boxes & HEPA polymerase chain reaction cabinets are both available with optional stands.

Every aspect of our cabinets can be customised to suit the needs of your application.

The cabinet's built-in HEPA filters capture 99.97% of particles at 0.12um with filtered downflow air at ISO 6 (Class 1000) cleanliness.

Our energy-efficient, Ozone-free UV lights output 1M 245nm to decontaminate your workspace between sessions.

What Is A PCR Cabinet?

A Polymerase Chain Reaction cabinet (commonly referred to as a PCR workstation or PCR hood) is a sterile, ductless enclosure designed to facilitate DNA/RNA sample sequencing and amplification processes. The cabinets are available in two models, dead air & laminar flow (HEPA). The type of cabinet you choose depends on the level of protection needed for your application.

How Does A PCR Cabinet Work?

A PCR cabinet removes unwanted airborne contaminants between tests via ultraviolet light to maintain a sterile environment. Laminar flow PCR cabinets protect the sample during and after the testing phase using HEPA-filtered laminar flow air. Dead air enclosures have no airflow controls, relying solely on UV.

What does PCR Stand For?

PCR stands for "polymerase chain reaction". It describes the process of detecting genetic material from abnormal or irregular cell samples by allowing scientists to copy specific DNA or RNA segments. Common applications include virus detection, genetic testing and disease identification.

Is A PCR Cabinet Suitable For Any Type Of Acid Or Substance?

No. We only recommended PCR cabinets for DNA/RNA sample sequencing and amplification processes. Biological samples require a class II biosafety cabinet, while chemical substances require a polypropylene fume cupboard. Contact our solution designers for more information.

How Long Does It Take To Install A PCR Cabinet?

A PCR cabinet can take between two to four hours to install. It's designed as a simple plug & play system, allowing engineers to position and commission the unit without the need for external ductwork.

How Much Does A PCR Cabinet Cost?

A PCR cabinet will cost between £4,000 to £6,000, depending on the size and complexity of the unit. A HEPA-filtered PCR cabinet will cost more than a standard dead air enclosure.

Why Should You Choose TION?

We offer a full-stack design, installation and delivery service. Our project management team will coordinate each stage of your PCR cabinet's construction with scheduled weekly updates. We aim to reduce business downtime and maximise productivity, ensuring your staff can operate their new units within 24 hours of delivery.
