PCR Enclosure – Dead Air Enclosure vs. Laminar Flow
A PCR enclosure, also referred to as a PCR workstation, is used in laboratories that deal with genetics and biology. These workstations provide an enclosed space to effectively prevent cross contamination between samples and UV lights that are used for sterilisation. Generally speaking, a PCR enclosure is a workspace that is enclosed on three sides […]
The Importance of DOP Testing Your HEPA Filters and Housings
HEPA filters are used in various clean air environments and their primary function is to remove fine particulates from the air. These particulates could be unwanted chemicals during chemical reaction testing, airborne contaminants during production or airborne particulates that could cause harm to human health. It is, therefore, crucial that the HEPA filters are tested […]

Ultraviolet light is a highly effective method of providing fast, efficient in-activation of micro-organisms. This makes it a useful alternative to chemical disinfection methods. Germicidal UV Sterilization Housing Because UV light is extremely effective for killing a large variety of harmful bacteria, moulds, viruses, yeasts and other pathogens, it can be used in various environments, […]
Bag In, Bag Out Changeout Procedure for Safe Change Housings
Filtration systems are a critical part of any clean-room, with high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters being of particular importance. HEPA filters trap harmful pathogens and other potential contaminants, removing them from the environment. These filters may form part of wall or ceiling-mounted systems or included in bio-safety cabinets. Safe Change Housing for HEPA Filter Systems […]
Time to Upgrade: 7 Signs You Need a New Biosafety Cabinet
Biosafety cabinets, often referred to as Bio-hazardous safety cabinets or abbreviated to BSCs, don’t last forever. Also known as biological safety cabinets or microbiological safety cabinets, BSCs provide safe, enclosed spaces for working with contaminants. These essential features of laboratories can typically be used for 15-25 years, but they do suffer wear and tear, and […]
