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
