Page 3: General
GENERAL Vertical laminar airflow benches with partial exhaust and protection barrier, the CYTOFAST ELITE cabinets, are designed to protect both the material to be manipulated from contamination and to protect the operator and the environment from microbial cytotoxic contamination hazards. The de-dusted, filtered and sterile air passing through the main HEPA filter ensures optimum airflow laminarity on the work surface, thanks to its even perforation and the frontal air barrier. -
Page 4: Installation
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS AND CHECKS ON DELIVERY Considering the critical nature of the use of the CYTOFAST ELITE cabinet and the need to keep it in optimum condition, installation is very important. CYTOFAST ELITE Biohazard cabinets are positioned on a pallet, wrapped in an extensible film and contained in a package of multi-layer strapped cardboard. - Page 5 Thimble method example THIMBLE LEGENDA: 1. Exhaust air from the cabinet. 2. Air from the environment. 3. Bleed Air (100 200 m /h more than the exhaust air flow rate from the cabinet) to a dedicated exhaust fan (in the electronic board a voltage free contact is available –see electrical diagram- to check when Microbiological Safety Cabinet ventilation is ON).

Page 6: Celectric/Gas Connections And Installation Of The Work Surface
ELECTRIC/GAS CONNECTIONS and INSTALLATION OF THE WORK SURFACE The electrical connection of the CytoFAST Biohazard cabinet is made by connecting the power cable located on the upper of the right side of the cabinet to a suitable power point (see technical table) . When the cabinet is connected, the green light on the control panel switches on (see chapter 4E). - Page 7 Techincal Features Table Description Unit CytoFAST Elite 209 CytoFAST Elite 212 CytoFAST Elite 215 CytoFAST Elite 218 Overall Dimensions (L x H x P(*)) 1045x2345x860 1350x2345x860 1655x2345x860 1960x2345x860 Usefull dimensions (L x H x P) 899x740x580 1194x740x580 1499x740x580 1804x740x580 Maximum front aperture Working aperture Weight Noise level...

Page 8: Operation Principles
OPERATION PRINCIPLES The following are the working principles of the CYTOFAST ELITE-cabinet : the pressurized air pushed into the plenum of the main motor-fan passes through the absolute filter and then downwards, in laminar flow, into the working chamber (A). From here, through the slots of the work surface, having mixed with the external air (B) which enters the cabinet from the front opening, the air passes through the absolute filter placed under the work surface (C) and is sucked into the intake up channel situated at the rear of the working area (D). -
Page 9: Operation
OPERATION SCOPE The vertical laminar airflow cabinet CYTOFAST ELITE is manufactured in compliance with international standards for the protection of the material, the operator and the environment against biological (Class II) and cytotoxic hazards and is suitable for the manipulation of low- and middle-risk pathogenic agents. CONTROL AND REGULATION SYSTEMS The CYTOFAST ELITE cabinet is provided with an automatic regulation system to keep the airflow speed (0.4 m/sec) in the work chamber and the recycling air/extracted air ratio constant. -
Page 10: Cremote Signals (Optional)
REMOTE SIGNALS (OPTIONAL) The electronic control board can be improved adding the following optional features: Ventilation status (ON/OFF) It is possible to obtain a 12 Vdc output to connect a led light or alternatively a Normally Open voltage free contact to be connected to an external circuit. There are two different working possibilities: the signal starts when ventilation is turned ON and stops when ventilation is OFF. -
