SafeFAST - Model 112 -Safety Cabinets

Working Principals
Air from external environment is directly drawn inside the working chamber preventing from the pathogens being split to the external environment. Inlet air is filtered by means of G3 pre-filter located behind the rear panel before being exhausted through the HEPA H14 filter on the environment.

Applications
SafeFAST Class I Microbiological Safety Cabinets have been adopted worldwide in use for, personnel and environmental protection while handling low and moderate pathogenic agents, in a wide range of disciplines in applications such as: Microbiology, Virology, Haematology, Cell culture, Genetics

Benefits

• The negative pressure plenum "bio-dynamic sealing" ensures that all contaminated particles are kept inside the system and are automatically drawn to the pressure chamber to be captured and by the main and exhaust filters.
• The fan system assures that no part of the cabinet is under positive contaminated pressure to the laboratory, thus preserving environment and personnel from bio-contamination risks.
• Access from the front panel for ease of maintenance service.
• One motor-blower available.

Specification

Construction: Epoxy powder painted steel for improved strength and resistance to corrosion and atmospheric agents.

Work Surface: 3, 4, 5 or 6 pieces (depending on the cabinet width) AISI-316L stainless steel, completely perforated to ensure flow laminarity and air recycling at the work surface level. Frontal slots in the access area provide air barrier protection preventing any exchange of air between the inside of the cabinet and the environment.

On request the following work surfaces are available with no extra charges:

• AISI-316L stainless steel perforated work surface in 1 piece
• AISI-316L stainless steel solid work surface in 1 piece or 3, 4, 5, 6 pieces (depending on the cabinet width).

ECS Eco Controling System: The new ECS microprocessor employs the latest innovative methods of integrated management of all principal functions of ventilation and filtration - selfòregulating all the main filtration and ventilation system components - compensating for declining pressure drops and restoring power balance. Combining the use of AC motor-blowers and certified low pressure-drop filters, the new ECS controlling system optimize power consumption, reducing CO2 emissions into the environment

Anti Bacterial Coating: exclusive Dupont ALESTA anti-bacterial “Ag+ cations-based solution”, capable to prevent microbial contamination of surfaces thereby inhibiting long term surface growth

• Work Chamber: in AISI-304L stainless steel sheet.
• Pre-filtration: G3 pre-filter fitted in stainless steel grid positioned in the rear panel of the working area
• Absolute Filter: HEPA H14 exhaust filter. Efficiency higher than 99,995%MPPS - 0.005% penetration - ensures a performance exceeding the requirements of EN 1822, The filtration system is designed to provide a barrier of air with minimum average speed over 0.4m/sec. according to EN-12469.

The user-friendly practical keyboard and the rear-lit LCD will continuously display all required data keeping the user constantly informed of the cabinet conditions in operation, and in particular:

• display of inside and outside temperature
• display of residual lifetime of HEPA filters, UV Lamp and activated carbon filter (if fitted)
• display of total number of hours of operation
• display of saturation level of HEPA filters.

Audio-visual alarms provided for:

• Out of range or incorrect frontal air barrier velocity
• Uncorrect position of front window
• Saturation of HEPA filters
• End of life-cycle of UV lamp and saturation of activated carbon filter (if fitted)
• Blockage in the exhaust duct
• Fan-motor malfunction
• Power failure

Front window: Stratified safety glass, to give ease of access for large items. It is provided with gas spring to keep it open during maintenance or sanitization operations.

Additional Features:

• Two vacuum or gas connections in the working area are provided, one with manual tap, the other with solenoid valve (on the right-hand side).
• A stainless steel spillage tray beneath the work surface collects spilt liquids.
• A stainless steel front closure panel ensures the sealing of the cabinet for sterilization/fumigation .
• An inlet allows the DOP test of the absolute HEPA filters.
• Electrical socket with protection IP-44 (on the right-hand side)

Maintenance: access to filters, motor-blower/s and control panel by lifting the front panel.
