A PCR hood (PCR cabinet or PCR workstation) is a vertical laminar flow enclosure designed to protect PCR reagents and samples from airborne contamination during reaction setup.
It creates a clean, particle‑free workspace using HEPA‑filtered laminar airflow and UV decontamination, helping prevent false positives and unreliable amplification results.
You can describe a “PCR Hood” on your site like this:
Vertical laminar flow cabinet providing ISO Class 5–like clean air over the work surface to protect DNA/RNA samples from dust and aerosols.
Equipped with HEPA or ULPA filtration and downward laminar airflow to minimise cross‑contamination between PCR reactions.
Integrated UV‑C lamp for pre‑ and post‑run decontamination, inactivating residual DNA/RNA from previous experiments.
Transparent construction and ergonomic access for comfortable pipetting and easy placement of thermocyclers, racks and pipettes.
