New Range of Molecular Biology Workstations Are Launched.

Grant Instruments has unveiled a new range of
DNA/RNA UV cabinets/PCR workstations, including standard, economy and double units, which feature a novel patented UV cleaner-recirculator system.

This innovative UV cleaner-recirculator system increases the maximum density of UV light treating the entire internal air volume, generating 25m³ per hour air flow exchange to provide aseptic conditions for a variety of molecular biology and biochemical procedures. The recirculator can also provide constant cabinet decontamination making the environment suitable for demanding applications working with DNA/RNA, infectious and viral materials such as prions.

Part of the successful Grant-bio range of life science products, the new UV cabinets all feature an easy-to-use digital 24-hour timer for accurate control of UV exposure and a white lamp for workplace illumination. The UV cabinets are built to last and come with a 2-year warranty.

Three cabinets are available in the range. A budget Plexiglass model measuring 555 x 690 x 515mm and a more robust stainless steel/glass version with the same dimensions which also includes a microprocessor-based temperature control feature. The large capacity (1.2 x 0.52m) stainless steel/glass PCR double workstation provides additional space for equipment and accessories to allow for more comfortable and convenient working in PCR applications. This spacious cabinet also features dual 30 W UV lamps, an adjustable three position front opening panel for ease of access and three internal power sockets enabling small instruments to be run inside the cabinet.
