COY Cleanspot PCR/UV Workstation
This item was procured from a laboratory in northern California that was closing a location. It is in Excellent condition, has been tested and operates to manufacturer’s specifications.
The CleanSpot is designed to fulfill a very important need today… control of PCR* contamination.
Just 25 – 30 minutes of UV irradiation in the Coy Clean Spot can prevent unwanted PCR contamination. The Clean Spot is the easiest and most economical method for DNA (RNA) purification.
The combination of a special light reflector and two powerful overhead UV bulbs generate Pyrimidine Dimers (T,C) and other photo defects in contaminating target sequences, thus eliminating falsely primed products that result in countless lost time and expense.
The CleanSpot is designed to prevent unwanted contaminant DNA in amplification mixtures, thereby saving many lost hours and expensive samples. The UV resistant acrylic enclosure provides a contained, dead air space in which to set up your reactions and permit safe 254nm UV irradiation of solutions and supplies. This powerful UV wavelength renders DNA contaminants biologically inactive in 30 minutes or less.
The thick front panel is an effective beta irradiation shield as well as acting as a breath guard. An overhead fluorescent light illuminates the work area.
Multiple Item Irradiation: Large enclosed work area permits continuous irradiation of many items simultaneously.
More Effective Irradiation of Reaction Mixtures, Reagents and Supplies: Unique light reflector allows all UV light to be directed to the work area, providing more effective irradiation of reaction mixtures, reagents, pipette tips, and pipettors.
Reduced Operator Exposure to UV: Safety device switches off the lamps preventing user exposure inside chamber. Acrylic absorbs UV light for added safety.
Eliminates Falsely Primed Products in 30 minutes or less: The shelf can be used as an exposure area to reduce decontamination time.
White Light Illumination: Overhead white light illuminates the work area for non-UV light applications.
(32)P Workstation, Ideal for Cycle Sequencing Preparation: Thick 3/8 inch acrylic front panel is an effective beta shield, providing protection from beta radiation emitted from (32)P.
Isolating Environment: The enclosed benchtop work area provides a convenient, “clean,” still air environment in which to set up reactions.
Easy to Install and Clean: The chamber breaks down into 4 component parts without the use of tools.
Advantages Over Other Methods
In addition to enjoying cost advantages over laminar hoods, the CleanSpot can have performance benefits due to the enclosed work area and UV lights. The amplified DNA is not altered, as with chemical decontamination methods. An important facet in preventing contamination, the isolated, “clean” set up area is missing when trans-illuminators or crosslinkers are used as radiation sources. Also, these light sources may not emit light at a high enough intensity or at the proper wavelength to efficiently inactivate the contaminant DNA.
