GENERAL
Vertical laminar airflow benches with partial exhaust and protection barrier, the CytoFAST Top 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. The system is
designed to create a protective barrier and prevent exchanges between the internal, potentially biologically
contaminated air, and the outside.
CytoFAST Top cabinets are Class II Biohazard cabinets, according to the definitions now adopted by all the
main international standards, with about 70% laminar flow recirculated air and 30% extracted air with prior
HEPA filtering. Suitable for the treatment of class CDC-1/2/3, DHSS-C/B1/B2 group 1,2,3 microorganisms as
per D.L. 81/08 "Safety in the working environment" and wherever a product-personnel-environment cross-
protection is required.
Especially suitable for applications such as:
-
Manipulation of eziologic agents having a known pathogenicity on humans and animals.
-
Presence of high concentrations of biologic materials.
-
Presence of agents likely to cause genetic alterations or synergetic activities with other materials.
-
Oncogenic viruses.
But above all designed for:
-
Preparation and handling of cytotoxic drugs
-
Preparation and manipulation of antineoplastic chemotherapeutics
Do not manipulate the products on the slotted part at the entry of the chamber, but in the middle of the work
surface.
The performances of the cabinets are detailed in the TESTING CERTIFICATE below, in compliance with the
