SafeFAST Classic
SafeFAST Classic - Proven safety cabinet for reliable everyday laboratory work
Certified protection for personnel, product and environment - robust, economical and powerful
The SafeFAST Classic is a class II biological safety cabinet designed for laboratories, research facilities and GMP-compliant production environments where maximum safety and reliability are required in daily operation. It fulfils the requirements of the European standard EN 12469:2000 and offers triple protection thanks to its sophisticated airflow: for the operator, the product and the ambient air.
With the SafeFAST Classic, particular attention was paid to durability, ease of cleaning and an attractive price-performance ratio - ideal for long-term use with high efficiency.
Your product benefits at a glance
- Certified protection in accordance with EN 12469:2000
- Robust stainless steel construction - also suitable for aggressive substances
- Cost-efficient in purchase and operation
- Modularly expandable - for your individual laboratory processes
- Easy to maintain thanks to segmented components
- Ideal for research, diagnostics and pharmaceutical applications
Safe airflow design – Class II protection principle
The SafeFAST Classic is based on the tried-and-tested safety principle of Class II biological safety cabinets:
- 70 % of the air is recirculated via a main H14 HEPA filter in accordance with EN 1822
- 30 % of the air is discharged from the unit in a controlled manner via a separate H14 HEPA exhaust filter
This guarantees a stable, laminar airflow in the work area as well as reliable protection against potentially infectious aerosols or particles – whilst ensuring a high level of product protection thanks to minimal air turbulence.
Typical areas of application
The SafeFAST Classic is ideal for all microbiological work in the following fields:
- Microbiology and virology
- Cell culture techniques and molecular biology methods
- Haematology and blood analysis
- Genetics, PCR workstations, DNA/RNA handling
- GMP-compliant pharmaceutical manufacturing and quality control
Thanks to its chemical-resistant materials, it is also ideally suited for applications involving acids or mildly corrosive media.
