Designed to protect a DNA sample from cross-contamination, contamination, the biocapTM DNA is a static enclosure (no ventilation, no filter). It is to be used when the operator has a large number of DNA samples to amplify and when the only major contamination risk comes from the DNAS amplified during the previous experiment. Before proceeding to a new DNA amplification, the enclosure shall be exposed to C.U.V rays which will neutralize the DNAs from the previous experiment. The exposure time is controlled by a timer (up to 60 mn). During this decontamination process, the lower door is kept down to avoid any harmful U.V rays to escape from the enclosure. If by accident, the operator opens the lower door during the decontamination time, a switch will automatically shut-off the UV lamp.
