3. UV Treatment
The PDQeX is fitted with four UV strip lights to reduce DNA contamination. Three lights are situated below the
collection tube drawer. The drawer should be removed before treatment to allow the light to access the lower
side of the heating block. The other light is above the heating block. During UV treatment, the sliding door will
be locked.
WARNING: Do not operate the UV light without closing the door. Avoid looking directly
at the UV light.
The UV treatment will only remove superficial contamination. For more serious spills,
clean the inside of the device using a cotton swab soaked in 1% bleach. Follow this by
swabbing with 80% ethanol.
