OPERATING THE PCR WORKSTATION PRO

Use of PCR equipment inside the workstation

Shelves are provided for placement 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 equip-
ment within the chamber, plug the equipment into the power plug. Specific power plugs are in-
stalled as shown in the illustration "AC power outlets", page 10.
Timing of the UV decontamination can be programmed for time-controlled every day decontamina-
tion.
NOTE: When operating equipment plugged into the outlets, combined Amps total is not to 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 UV and white lights

The PCR Workstation Pro provides an automated process for eliminating contamination by utilizing
the decontaminating properties of shortwave 254 nm ultraviolet light. The UV light is typically oper-
ated when no samples are inside the chamber. The chamber is decontaminated and DNA as pos-
sible contamination is inactivated.

Timer

The default setting is 30 minutes adjustable at 5 minutes increments down to a minimum of 5 min-
utes. For information on setting the timer please see page 13.
Note:
A magnetic sensor is built into the bottom of the front panel. When the front panel is opened,
the ultraviolet light will automatically shut off!
Note:
Do not attempt to perform PCR procedures with the germicidal lamp on. The germicidal
lamp is used to decontaminate the chamber between experiments.
