BioSan UVT-B-AR PCR cabinet
This PCR cabinet is specifically designed to provide a reliable, contamination-free environment for applications such as PCR setups, nucleic acid analyses and other critical molecular biology processes. Compared to conventional workstations, it features highly efficient UV disinfection technology, sophisticated safety functions and a durable, ergonomic design. This makes the device ideal for laboratories that place the highest quality demands on purity and user safety.
Powerful UV technology for maximum purity
To prevent cross-contamination and reliably protect samples, this model combines an open UV-C lamp with a patented UV recirculation fan. The open 254 nm UV-C lamp inactivates DNA and RNA contaminants just as reliably as viruses and bacteria. Thanks to its high intensity, surfaces and air are significantly decontaminated after just 15-30 minutes. The special feature is the additionally integrated recirculation unit with UV radiation, which continuously cleans the cabin air without exposing users to UV light. This keeps the work area permanently low in germs.
Another advantage: the electronic control system can be operated precisely via a digital touchscreen panel. Users can prepare various decontamination cycles, set their duration and intensity and monitor the current lamp status in real time. In addition, the UV lamp switches off automatically as soon as the front Plexiglas screen is folded up, ensuring safe access to the work area at all times.
Rugged construction and well thought-out ergonomics
The housing is made of steel with a chemical-resistant powder coating. The rear panel and worktops are made of stainless steel, which means they can withstand intensive cleaning and disinfection cycles. The front is made of special glass with high UV protection. This shields over 96% of harmful UV rays, which significantly increases safety in the laboratory.
An integrated power socket allows users to operate additional laboratory equipment directly within the workstation. This eliminates the hassle of laying external cables, which optimises the workflow and reduces the risk of contamination at the same time. User-friendliness is further enhanced by bright LED lighting, which illuminates the entire interior while consuming up to 50% less power compared to traditional fluorescent tubes.
Important technical data at a glance
- Open UV lamp (25 W, 253.7 nm) for surface and air disinfection
- Patented UV recirculator (25 W) with an output of >99 % per hour
- Digital touch display (3.5") with timer function for UV and lighting control
- Automatic switch-off of the UV radiation when the front screen is open
- LED daylight lamp (8 W) for efficient interior lighting
- Robust steel and stainless steel design with chemical-resistant powder coating

In addition, the system has a work surface of 645 x 490 mm and sufficient space for various PCR accessories. The overall dimensions of 700 x 580 x 555 mm ensure a compact form factor that still allows sufficient freedom of movement. The weight of around 28.8 kg makes it easy to relocate in the laboratory if required. With a power consumption of around 64 W, the system is fairly energy-efficient, especially considering its high UV output.
Certifications and standards
The device complies with the relevant safety and quality requirements for laboratory equipment, such as European standards for electrical safety. Many laboratories have additional regulations that require reliable UV sterilisation, which this unit also easily meets. CE markings and standard laboratory conformity are usually available.
Examples of use
- Preparation of PCR reactions: The system effectively prevents contamination by DNA residues.
- Working with sensitive RNA samples: The highly efficient UV radiation reduces the risk of RNases and bacteria.
- Cloning and sequencing projects: Enables a sterile environment when handling plasmid DNA.
- General molecular biology work: Ideal for procedures such as cDNA synthesis, restriction digestion or ligation protocols.
FAQs
How often should the UV lamp be replaced?
The UV-C lamp used lasts for around 9,000 operating hours. It is advisable to replace it as soon as the lamp service life indicated by the system is reached or the UV intensity decreases.
Can the device be operated permanently with the UV recirculator switched on?
Yes, the internal UV recirculation fan is designed for continuous operation and ensures that the air inside is continuously decontaminated.
Is the material chemically resistant?
The interior and panels are made of stainless steel, while the sides have a coated steel surface. Both materials are particularly resistant to typical laboratory solutions and disinfectants.
How loud is the operation
Thanks to the quiet fan system, the recirculation function and lighting operate at a pleasantly low noise level, which means there is no annoying noise pollution.
Conclusion
This model offers professionals an efficient and reliable solution for avoiding contamination in sensitive molecular biology applications. The combination of powerful UV-C lamb purification, patented recirculation fan and intelligent control guarantees a constant level of purity with the greatest possible user safety. Thanks to its robust construction and practical features, the device is ideal for both daily routine use and demanding research projects. The sophisticated design and high energy efficiency round off the overall picture and make it an excellent choice for laboratories that value quality and precision.
