Introduction
- The VWR PCR Workstation is designed as an ideal environment for the manipulation of DNA and RNA, especially for the set-up of PCR assays. Contamination can lead to false or misleading results which costs time and money. The VWR PCR Workstation minimise the risk of contamination. It provides a ‘separate room’, e.g. for the set-up of PCR reactions.
- The high intensity surface UV tubes inactivate DNA as a source of contamination between experiments. In addition, a 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 for the user.
- The surface of the workstation is constructed of stainless steel, which is very robust and can easily be cleaned plus has an antimicrobial effect.
- The VWR PCR Workstation offers a controlled environment for PCR and RNA applications that protects your samples and helps to achieve optimal results.

Operating the PCR Workstation
Use of PCR equipment inside the workstation
- Shelves are provided for the placing of small tools for storage and decontamination.
- Power outlets allow use of shakers, rockers and other equipment for PCR experiments inside the PCR chamber. The equipment can be decontaminated between experiments. To operate equipment within the chamber, plug the equipment into the power plug. Specific power plugs are installed as shown in the illustration “AC power outlets” section.
- Timing of UV decontamination can be programmed for time-controlled every day decontamination.
- NOTE: When operating, equipment plugged into the outlets, combined amp total should not exceed 6 amps.
- NOTE: Crazing is a normal process for polycarbonate panels exposed to UV light. Crazing will occur over a period of time. Reduce crazing by keeping exposure to UV to a minimum.
- Crazing may occur within the warranty period and is regarded as normal wear and tear not covered by the warranty. Polycarbonate panels are available as spare parts and can be replaced.
Operating the overhead UV and white lights
- The PCR Workstation provides an automated process for eliminating contamination by using the decontaminating properties of shortwave 254 nm ultraviolet light. The UV light is typically operated when no samples are inside the chamber. The chamber is decontaminated and DNA as a possible contamination is inactivated.
- The overhead white light can remain lit at any time throughout an experiment or a decontamination process. The fluorescent white light provides a bright light within the PCR Workstation.
Operating the UV Air Recirculator
- The VWR PCR Workstation includes a built-in UV Air Recirculator for elimination of airborne microbes during experiments.
- NOTE: The UV Air Recirculator can operate while the front panel is open.
- The UV Air Recirculator circulates airflow into and out of the chamber. The air is sucked into the UV Air Recirculator in the top of the chamber, the air outlets are at the bottom of the back panel. The drawing indicates the location of the air vents.
- NOTE: Equipment in front of the air vents will block airflow.

Measuring UV tube intensity
- As UV tubes age, intensity and germicidal destruction rate decreases. We recommend you change the UV tubes after 1000 – 1500 hours of operation (please refer to ” Checking and resetting the hours of duty” section).
- Otherwise it is important to monitor the efficiency of the tubes to ensure germicidal requirements are met. The germicidal destruction rate is a function of the UV intensity at wavelength 254 nm and exposure time.
- The lower the tube intensity, the longer the lamps must be on to accomplish the same objective.
- A UV Intensity Meter with 254 nm sensor will allow the user to measure the 254 nm emissions from the tubes.
- When it is time to measure the UV intensity inside the PCR Workstation, the sensors can be placed on the floor of the PCR Workstation.
- Close the front panel and turn on the UV tubes. Please refer to the UV radiometer manual on how to perform the measurement.
- It is recommended that the user records an initial value upon receipt and assembly of the PCR Workstation.
- To measure the UV intensity from the UV Air Recirculator tube, open the cover lid on the back of the PCR Workstation and perform the measurement as described in the UV radiometer manual.
- Wear protective eyewear and shielding when operating the UV Air Recirculator with the ventilation cover open. Replace the cover and screws after the measurement is completed
