The Circulaire® Downflow Workstation delivers highly efficient recirculating fume extraction, ensuring operator safety by effectively capturing and removing hazardous vapours generated at the work surface.
Ideal for a broad range of applications, including tissue culturing, microbiology, histology, and molecular biology, the workstation is perfect for tasks such as slide preparation, staining, dissection, and handling infectious or hazardous materials.
The Circulaire® Downflow Workstation is designed for applications requiring operator protection from chemical exposure.
Featuring a carbon filtration system, the workstation ensures a clean and safe working environment by capturing hazardous fumes, vapours, and particulates at the source.
Its compact, mobile design provides a flexible solution for managing harmful substances in confined spaces.
The workstation operates by drawing air downwards through the stainless-steel perforated work surface, capturing fumes and contaminants generated during processes.
The air is then passed through the carbon filtration system that traps hazardous vapours and particulates, ensuring clean air is recirculated.
Solution
Our Class 2 Biological Safety Cabinets keep your team safe while handling potentially hazardous materials.
Independently type tested and approved to BS EN 12469 : 2000 by the UK’s leading authority on BioSafety Cabinets, the Health Protection Agency at Porton Down.
Manufactured to the highest quality standards, our state-of-the-art biosafety solution is equipped with H14 HEPA Filters to create an ISO Class 5 Clean Environment and features an intuitive control system, energy-efficient LED lighting, controlled airflow and UV sterilisation functionality.
Class 2 Biological Safety Cabinets are suitable for work with microbiological agents assigned to Biosafety Levels 1, 2, 3 or 4.
Operation
The Class 2 Biological Safety Cabinet utilises a combination of inflow and downflow air to create a sterile work environment. Air passes through HEPA filters before entering the work area, protecting samples and operators from airborne contaminants. Exhaust air is filtered again before release, maintaining a safe laboratory environment.
Type A2
In a Recirculating Type A2 MSC 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.
Type C1
A Type C1 MSC utilises the same airflow pattern as a Type A2. The addition of an Anti-Blowback Valve directs 30% Exhaust Air through an External Duct System.
Carbon Exhaust System
If chemicals are used a Carbon Filtered Exhaust system may be installed after or as part of the Exhaust HEPA Filter, making a Type A2 Cabinet suitable for the handling of hazardous chemicals.
