LABOX - Model FBB -Laminar Flow Cabinet

• Fully automated operation controlled by a smart control system CR2000 with a 7 ”touch panel, ensuring optimal parameters in the workspace for the selected operating mode, maximum security, remote control, advanced timers, accessory control, email and mobile phone notifications, and much more
• Ergonomic design, large workspace
• Quiet operation thanks to perfect design, good sound insulation, powerful motor with low noise. The operator can therefore concentrate on working for a longer period of time
• Low vibration is achieved by choosing low vibration components, anti-vibration components and special, flexible, fasteners and hinges. Thanks to this, the workstation is also suitable for vibration-sensitive operations, such as working with a microscope, weighing, etc.
• Minimal operating costs, maintenance-free operation, maximum utilization of the absorption capacity of high-efficiency filters
• LED lighting with high luminosity (optionally dimmable)
• Continuous monitoring of main critical parameters such a filter clogging and laminar airflow rate
• Early warning system for filter replacement need, qualification, service, validation, etc.
• Hour meter for filters, fan, etc.
• Audit trail registration of setting changes, alarms and other information
• Temperature sensor in the working space (optional)

During the design, special attention was paid to technical details, a modern user-friendly interface, a design suitable for laboratories and clean rooms according to EN ISO 14644 clean room technology and GMP standards. Practically it means a smooth design, without sharp edges, minimizing joints, easy cleaning and decontamination, high IP protection in the workspace and other improvements.

The FBB is powered by a high-quality, powerful fan with an energy-saving electronically controlled EC motor. High quality components ensure maintenance-free operation. Compared to standard AC motors, consumption is up to 70% lower. Maximum environmental friendliness is supported by the possibility of using the reduce mode. The fan makes it possible to maintain the required air flow rate with high accuracy over a long period of time, despite the gradual clogging of the filter, and thus make optimal use of its service life.

Air filtration is provided by high-efficiency HEPA filters, class H14 according to EN1822, with an filtration efficiency of 99.999%. The filters have a metal frame, quality seals and a protective grille. The control system continuously monitors their pressure loss. The system is equipped with notification system with two notification levels - warning and action. Warning level means that the HEPA filters would be replaced soon, so it is time to order the filter replacement. Action limit is activated when the filters are clogged and must be replaced immediately. In case the workstation is connected to the Internet, the control system will inform also supervisor and service engineer by email or by push notification to their mobile phone.

The workstation stand has a robust and solid construction made of powder-coated steel, in the same color as the workstation it self, with high resistance to abrasion and disinfectants. The stand has adjustable feet for the possibility of rectifying the unevenness of the surface in the laboratory. To minimize the transmission of vibrations, the stand is equipped with anti-vibration inserts. Thanks to the solid construction and use of anti-vibration inserts, vibration is minimal and significantly contributes to work comfort during vibration-sensitive operations. 

The working space is equipped with electrical socket 220 V / 50Hz. 

The FBB cabinet works fully automatically according to the set mode. After selecting the mode, the CR2000 control system automatically sets the target parameters of the workstation for the given activity: idle state, operating and reduce mode. The mode is selected via the touch screen or remotely. The system is protected against access by unauthorized persons. The control is user-friendly and clear. A huge advantage is the unification of the control system of all LABOX workstations. Both in terms of service and service and possible training.

Deviations from safe values are signaled both locally acoustically and optically, and are sent to email and / or mobile phone. All settings are made using the large, clear, touch screen of the CR2000 control system. The main page contains information on the operation status of the cabinet, such as the selected mode, current parameters, possible alarm messages with a detailed explanation, and controls for accessories. 

Great emphasis is placed on safety. The cabinet, in addition to standard safety elements, is also equipped with a circuit breaker.

The control and management of the workstation is provided by the state of the art CR2000 smart control system. This system ensures trouble-free operation of the device in 24/7 mode. Control is possible both through the large touch screen and using mobile devices and PC. The touch screen with IPS technology reacts even through laboratory gloves. The display shows all important parameters and states. The speed of the air flow in the working space, temperature in the working space (optional), pressure drop on the filter. These signals are processed by a microprocessor unit, which optimizes the performance of the device accordingly. User interface is intuitive. The control system allows the setting of timers for switching the device on and off, including the selection of the operating mode. Changing alarm settings, timers and other parameters and functions are user-adjustable.
