Tested with EPA-Approved Ozone Analyzer

Each NoZone TL Workspace includes a NoZone Ozone Scrubber tested at the factory to meet ozone level specifications. Test results, using a highly sensitive and accurate ozone monitor, are included with the system.

Compatible with Popular Equipment

The NoZone WS Workpace can accommodate any of the following equpment inside the enclosure:

• Little Dipper Processor
• Hybex Incubator
• Agilent DNA Microarray Scanner
• NimbleGen MS 200 Microarray Scanner
• Axon GenePix Scanner (including models 4000A/B, 4100A, 4200AL, 4300A & 4400A)

If your equipment is not listed above, please have your dimensions ready and call (408) 733-7337, option 4 to determine which NoZone Workspace provides the best fit.

Maintains Ozone Levels Below 5 ppb

Typical daytime ozone levels found in most laboratories can destroy Cy5 and other fluorescent dyes used with microarray samples. Studies show that ozone levels as low as 20 ppb can negatively affect array data (1, 2).

The NoZone TL Workspace (Cat. #1090-11-1) was developed to eliminate nagging concerns of ozone corrupted array data caused during array scanning. The Workspace consists of a benchtop polycarbonate enclosure (Cat. #1090-11-0) with an external high efficiency ozone filtration system (Cat. #1090-20-1).

The Workspace achieves and maintains ozone levels below 5 ppb within a few minutes after closing the doors. The NoZone TL Workspace provides a clean, ozone-safe space for operating microarray processing and scanning equipment.

Designed to Fit Agilent and Other Microarray Scanners

Taller than its predecessor, the NoZone TL Workspace is designed to provide unimpeded access to the Agilent microarray scanner. It also accommodates all other scanners as well as the Little Dipper Microarray Processor. Easily assembled, the enclosure seals to the lab bench and has two hinged doors that swing to either side to allow full access to the internal work area. The NoZone Ozone Scrubber completes the system. It is an external ozone filtration system that connects to the side panel of the enclosure and pumps ozone-free air into the compartment.
