FOREWORD
Faster UltraSafe Microbiological Safety Cabinets belong to the
latest generation of laminar airflow systems manufactured by Faster,
in which the choice of materials of construction of the highest quality
guarantees conformity to the strictest safety standards.
Faster UltraSafe vertical laminar flow cabinets are Class II
Microbiological Safety Cabinets - designed and built to performance
requirements of the EN-12469:2000 European Standard, with
70% of the air re-circulated via the main Class H14 HEPA filter
within the cabinet, whilst the remaining 30% is discharged through
an exhaust Class H14 HEPA filter.
APPLICATIONS
Faster UltraSafe Class II
Microbiological Safety
Cabinets have been adopted
worldwide in use for product,
personnel and environmental
protection while handling
harmful agents pathogenic to
human beings and/or animals
as defined in the appropriate
international standards, in a
wide range of disciplines in
applications such as:
Microbiology, Virology,
Haematology, Cell culture,
Genetics, Handling of
hazardous agents to human
beings or animals
BENEFITS
Ergonomic Design. The angled
sloping front safety-glass sash provides
optimum visibility of all objects placed
in the interior workspace. The sash is
electrically operated. Pressing the
appropriate touch-sensitive keys will
completely open or completely close
down the sash.
The standard sash-height opening
during work is set to 250 mm.
Alternative sash-height settings by the
factory are possible upon request.
The whole front of the safety cabinet –
which includes the sash mechanism –
can also be opened upwards as it is
hinged on the top – in order to allow
easy access for complete and effective
cleaning and decontamination.
Inflatable gasketing is also available as
an option to provide effective sealing of
the internal workspace of the chamber
for purposes of fumigation/sterilization.
Silent Operation. The textile plenum,
the structures of the electric motors of
the fans fitted on their antivibration
mounts and the software itself
designed to provide optimum
airhandling characteristics guarantee
quiet operation of this silent safety
cabinet, with sound-pressure levels
recorded way below the parameters
specified in the current EN:12469
European Standard for Microbiological
Safety Cabinets.
Protection grid
A protection grid made of AISI 304 stainless steel is provided inside the part behind the rear panel
(where air flows), in order to avoid de-contamination costs would the tissue used during
cleaning operations be sucked in the motor-blower causing the failure of the blower itself and/or of anemometer.
High Level Lighting. The safety glass
side-windows with the ideal positoning
and sizing of the light-system provide
the highest level of luminosity to the
work area.
Easy handling and maintenance.
The safety cabinet can pass through
800 mm wide door openings. In fact,
the overall depth of the cabinet can be
reduced to approx. 790 mm by
removal of the rear panel.
All service operations are available from
the front of the cabinet.
SPECIFICATIONS
Rear wall in stainless steel
AISI 304, designed to conform to
requirements and pass the “cleanability
test” according to EN12469:2000.
AISI 316L work surface consisting of
sections which are easily removable for
carrying out routine cleaning and/or
autoclaving sterilization procedures;
closed or perforated on request.
Re-circulating and extractor fans:
FASTER UltraSafe Microbiological
Safety Cabinets ‘S’-Series are supplied
with single centrifugal fan, whilst
models of the ‘D’ Series with double
centrifugal fan to provide complete
operator, product and environmental
protection.
Moreover the ‘D’ models fitted with
double motor-fan are designed and are
also suitable to discharge the filtered
air outside the laboratory through a
ducting system if required.
Microprocessor based monitoring
system: full status report provided via
digital display by the new generation
microprocessors – which automatically
control all functions and all safety alarm
systems ensuring that performance
characteristics are maintained to
EN12469:2000 requirements.
High power lithium battery keeps safety
data saved to microprocessor system
The user-friendly practical keyboard
and the rear-lit LCD will continuously
display all required data keeping the
user constantly informed of the cabinet
conditions in operation, and in
particular:
- display of laminar airflow velocity
and frontal air barrier velocity
- display of inside and outside
temperature
- display of residual lifetime of HEPA
filters, UV Lamp and activated
carbon filter (if fitted)
- display of total number of hours
of operation
- display of saturation level of HEPA
filters.
Audio-visual alarms provided for:
- Out of range or incorrect laminar
airflow velocity and frontal air
barrier velocity
- Uncorrect position of front
sash-window
- saturation of HEPA filters
- end of life-cycle of UV lamp and
saturation of activated carbon filter
(if fitted)
- blockage in the exhaust duct
- fan-motor malfunction
- power failure
UV sterilizing lamp (optional) complete
two switch-off countdown timers,
one variable on a 0¸3 hours scale
(1 minute steps), the other set to 3
fixed hours.
