The CleanView range of UV Sterilisation Cabinets from Cleaver Scientific provides a sterile contained environment for the preparation and manipulation of sensitive biological samples.
Cleaver Scientific supplied a UV Sterilisation Cabinet to Touchlight Genetics who wanted a sterile workspace for the preparation of its RNA and DNA samples and templates.
Touchlight Genetics has developed an entirely enzymatic process of DNA synthesis that is fast, efficient and has a yield that can meet growing demand for DNA.
The company’s dbDNA expression cassettes eliminate the need for bacterial sequences and antibiotic resistance genes in the production of biological therapies, satisfying FDA and EMA regulations.
This novel technology provides a near-term manufacturing solution to a key bottleneck in the production of innovative therapies.
Acting as a low cost alternative to a clean room, powerful UV lights in the cabinet are used to denature nucleic acids in five to 30 minutes, making them unsuitable for amplification.
Cleaver UV sterilisation cabinets incorporate safety features to prevent user exposure to UV light, including timer controls and safety switches.
The cabinet also acts as an efficient shield from radioactive beta emissions, and can therefore be safely used with isotopes such as 32P.
