PCR is shorthand for a simple but very useful procedure in molecular biology called the polymerase chain reaction. It’s a technique used to amplify a segment of DNA of interest or produce many copies. In other words, PCR enables you to produce millions of copies of a specific DNA sequence from an initially small sample – sometimes even a single copy. This technique is widely used in genetics laboratories that work with DNA and RNA.
Since PCR amplification is extremely sensitive to contamination, prevention of contamination requires good laboratory practices to minimize external or cross-contamination during reagent and sample preparation. The Air Science® PCR laminar flow cabinet employs the Multiplex™ HEPA filtration technology to create a safe, energy efficient, contaminant-free environment. It is ideally suited for use with non-hazardous contaminants and when flexible access to instrumentation in the cabinet is required.
