• The lid has a hook to prevent accidental opening during heating.
• Made of polypropylene with high chemical resistance, mechanical durability, and temperature stability.
• The product does not contain slippers, plasticizers, biocides, or other substances that may affect the sample.
• g-Safe ®: The product will not be damaged by centrifugation at a maximum of 30,000 x g. Prevents sample loss and handles dangerous samples with confidence
• The lid has a tight seal and low evaporation rate, making it suitable for long-term storage
• Graduated
• The operating temperature is -86°C to 100°C
• The lid can be autoclaved with it open (121°C, 20 minutes)
• To guarantee purity, you can choose lot-certified PCR clean, Epp***orf Forensic DNA Grade and Biopur quality
• Protein LoBind and DNA LoBind types are available for maximum recovery of valuable samples
• Prevention of contamination is an important issue in forensic DNA analysis. In order to minimize contamination risk, the forensic field has established strict internal regulations. ISO 18385 is expected to provide greater safety.
• This ISO standard sets requirements for manufacturers of products ***d in forensic DNA analysis. Epp***orf Forensic DNA grade products are manufactured to meet the high level requirements of this standard.
• High quality manufacturing
• Forensic DNA Grade products are consumables ***d for DNA purification, sample preparation, PCR setup and sample storage. The following high quality standards for Epp***orf's manufacturing processes are the foundation for meeting the strict requirements of ISO 18385.
• Highly automated manufacturing facilities to minimize direct contact between workers and products
• Strict cleaning procedures and protocols to minimize contamination risk
• Positive pressure facilities to prevent dust intrusion
• Process controls
• The manufacturing area is strictly monitored to ensure clean conditions at all times. Epp***orf operates an effective quality assurance system to meet the standards and guarantees required of manufacturers such as ISO 13485. In addition, additional controls have been added to meet specific requirements for Forensic DNA Grade consumables. For example, each surface of the manufacturing facility is monitored for the presence of human DNA, and multiple spot checks are performed on each batch during the manufacturing cycle to ensure uniform quality and purity.
• Restricted access
• Access to the manufacturing area of Forensic DNA Grade consumables is strictly restricted and controlled. Worker training and compliance with work wear regulations are mandatory.
• Packaging matters
• Epp***orf's comprehensive approach takes into account not only manufacturing and application content, but also product handling in the lab. Of course this includes packages. For products ***d in forensic science, the packaging is designed to support the features of the product due to handling that is not prone to contamination or misalignment. That is, the packaging of the Epp***orf Forensic DNA Grade product provides special attention to the following points:
• Clearly labeled product boxes as well as individual packaging prevent misplacement
• The number of consumables per package is adjusted for each product: Epp***orfForensic DNA Grade Consumables are packaged individually or as a number per package dep***ing on the workflow
• Even if all consumables are not ***d at once, resealable packaging is ***d to prevent contamination
• Monitored purity
• Epp***orf consumables represent the highest quality and performance. These products, bearing the new purity grade « Epp***orf Forensic DNA Grade «, are also made in line with this approach. Test parameters and sensitivity levels meet ISO 18385 requirements and are strictly controlled.
• All tests to verify the purity standards to be guaranteed are carried out by third-party laboratories that comply with ISO 17025 standards for conformity required in forensic science.
