Good Laboratory Practice Mitigates Contamination During PCR Amplification

When your PCR amplification shows mysterious results you have to find out why.

 

The reason is often related to contamination of reagents from a template, genomic DNA, or amplicons from previous reactions.

 

Contamination during PCR amplification can be reduced or eliminated by implementing laboratory best practices. We recently discussed this in our PCR Amplification Brief.

 

Air Science has designed ductless filtered hoods to prevent contamination during PCR amplification. The Purair PCR Laminar Flow Cabinet helps maintain a contaminant-free environment by applying HEPA filtration technology while offering flexible access to PCR apparatus in the cabinet. The Ductless Laminar Flow Hood has an internal air handling system to isolate potential contaminants from PCR processes.
