Questions:

Q: What is a uv sterilisation cabinet used for?

A: A UV sterilisation cabinet is used to facilitate a sterile working area where equipment and samples can be manipulated without the risk of cross-contamination. UV-radiation from UV lamps fitted inside the cabinet effectively disinfect the working area, inactivating DNA / RNA fragments during 15-30 minutes of exposure.

Q: What is a PCR cabinet?

A: A PCR cabinet, also known as a PCR workstation or PCR hood is a work space, enclosed on all sides with an opening for access, that provides a space for doing amplification of DNA and/or RNA. PCR cabinets are used in biology and genetic labs so that there is no cross contamination between samples.

Q: How long does it take to irradicate DNA / RNA ?

A: It takes approximately 15-30 minutes of UV exposure to inactivate DNA / RNA fragments.
