[Histonet] question

I do not see that as UV will not decontaminate areas and tissue that are not in the UV light path or thick tissue.

If there is aerolizing of any material or particles after that cycle, at least it whatever was trapped in the chamber would  have been decontaminated when you then vaccum. I think that the UV models have their own vaccum as I recall.  Plus it is MUCH faster than the old defrots, wipe out, vaccum and rinse steps and air dry steps needed to decontaminate some ( usually older) cryostats.
