How it works – A steady flow of air for maximum shielding
The safety cabinet operates using a combined air-handling system designed to ensure optimum containment and safe air circulation:
- 70 % of the air is recirculated via an H14 HEPA main filter in recirculation mode
- 30 % of the air is controlled and exhausted from the system via a separate H14 HEPA exhaust filter
- Further protected by an H14 pre-filter with the Easy-Change system for quick and safe filter replacement
