GLOVE BOX SGS20 HBR

HIGH BIOLOGICAL RISK 

The GLOVE BOX  "HBR" line are made of PMMA (Polymethylmethacrylate) or stainless steel a two, three or four gloves and find application in the handling of pathogens  and high microbiological risk. They are equipped with components that allow operators to work in complete safety and use advanced control systems, with alarms, to ensure containment; the filtration units, equipped with Hepa H14 filters, are configured both to guarantee total protection during the work phase and to make maintenance operations safe. The waste is discharged safely and it is possible to install  a decontamination system with liquid detergents

 

The GLOVE BOX is defined class III biological safety cabinet, as it is totally sealed, the manipulations take place by means of gloves inserted in the structure, the working environment is at negative pressure, the filtration is of Hepa / Ulpa type both inlet and outlet, it is equipped with a pre-chamber for passage with double interlocked doors so it GUARANTEES THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF PERSONAL PROTECTION OF THE OPERATOR AND THE ENVIRONMENT and is installed in laboratories of MAXIMUM CONTAINMENT level BSL4 , where not only manipulations of carcinogens and products with high biological risk are performed, but also processing of material containing dangerous infectious agents of GROUP 4 and exotic with possible air transmission, associated with potentially lethal human diseases for which vaccines are not available.    Several glove boxes can be connected in series (modular) to expand the work areas.

Although the Class I and Class II  MSC's (hoods)  generate a protection for the operators, this PROTECTION is not absolute. When working with group 3 and group 4 materials, a GLOVE BOX (Class III MSC)  guarantees maximum security for the operator and the laboratory.
