Wide range of Laminar Flow Cabinets and Class II Microbiological Safety Cabinets suitable for use in hospitals, commercial laboratories and university settings.

The Airone Class II Safety Cabinet is designed for use in microbiology and biotechnology, with the most up-to-date microprocessor control techniques setting new standards for operator, environmental and product protection.

The Airone Class II Safety Cabinet has been independently type tested and approved to BSEN 12469:2000 by the UK’s leading authority on Biological Safety Cabinets, the Health Protection Agency at Porton Down.

Operation

Air is drawn in through the front aperture, providing operator protection. The inflow air mixes with the downflow air as it enters the front intake grille and passes through the plenum where the air is split into exhaust systems. 70% of the air is recycled and pushed back into the Work Area through the downflow HEPA filter. The remaining 30% is exhausted through the exhaust air HEPA filter back into the laboratory environment.

Environmentally Friendly

The Airone Class II Safety Cabinet also has fantastic ‘green’ credentials. With normal operation starting at just 100 watts of power, the cabinet uses a fraction of the power consumption of rival models. In addition, the unit has some of the most attractive sound levels available. Overhead high-intensity LED lighting is provided as standard (> 1000LUX) to ensure even illumination of the working area. The Airone Class II range of cabinets are fitted with the latest digital high-performance fans to ensure low noise operation and low energy consumption. Energy efficiency is improved further with the use of PIR movement sensors to shut off all non-essential electronic items when the cabinet senses a period of inactivity.

The Airone Horizontal Laminar Flow cabinet provides clean conditions to ISO Class 4 (FED Class 10) and compliance to BSEN 14644. The cabinet provides a clean ULPA filtered parallel flow of air, through filters situated at the back the cabinet, across the working area.

Operation

Air is initially drawn through a high-quality EV4 pre-filter to remove all large particulates. All air then passes through the fan system before being forced through a U15 ULPA filter to remove 99.9998% of all particulates > 0.12µm in size. Filtered air will then flow horizontally towards the operator at a velocity of 0.35-0.55m/s to ensure no air from the room can flow back into the working area. This guarantees an ISO Class 4 (FED Class 10) particle-free working environment and can ensure the best product protection.

Environmentally Friendly

The Airone HLF also has fantastic ‘green’ credentials. With normal operation starting at just 65 watts of power, the cabinet uses a fraction of the power consumption of rival models. In addition, the unit has some of the most attractive sound levels available—measuring at just 54db (A) for the largest unit.

Overhead high intensity LED lighting is provided as standard (> 1000LUX) to ensure even illumination of the working area. The Airone HLF range of cabinets are fitted with the latest digital high-performance fans to ensure low noise operation and low energy consumption.

The Airone Vertical Laminar Flow cabinet provides clean conditions to ISO Class 4 (FED Class 10) and compliance to BSEN 14644. The cabinet provides a clean ULPA filtered parallel flow of air, through filters situated at the top of the cabinet, down onto the working area.

Operation

Air is initially drawn through a high-quality EV4 pre-filter to remove all large particulates. All air then passes through the fan system before being forced through a U15 ULPA filter to remove 99.9998% of all particulates > 0.12µm in size. Filtered air will then flow vertically down to the work surface where the air will spread towards the front exit of the cabinet. This guarantees an ISO Class 4 (FED Class 10) particle-free working environment and can ensure the best product protection.

Environmentally Friendly

The Airone VLF also has fantastic ‘green’ credentials. With normal operation starting at just 65 watts of power, the cabinet uses a fraction of the power consumption of rival models. In addition, the unit has some of the most attractive sound levels available—measuring at just 54db (A) for the largest unit. Overhead high intensity LED lighting is provided as standard (> 1000LUX) to ensure even illumination of the working area. The Airone VLF range of cabinets are fitted with the latest digital high-performance fans to ensure low noise operation and low energy consumption.

Airone VLF cabinets have been widely adopted in many sectors of industry and in science laboratories, when handling no-risk cell cultures or non-pathogenic biological specimens and a high protection factor is needed for the items on the worktop. Applications include quality control in the pharmaceutical and food industries, cell culture and sterile handling.
