Protection principle class I - 100 % exhaust air, no recirculation
The SafeFAST Elite Class I is based on the safety concept of 100 % air extraction:
- The air is drawn in through the front opening so that a continuous air flow is directed away from the operator - this effectively protects against aerosols, particles or infectious droplets.
- The intake air flows through a G3 pre-filter (for coarse dust) and an H14 HEPA filter in accordance with EN 1822.
- The filtered air is then discharged directly into the environment - there is no air recirculation in the working area.
This design ensures constant personal protection, especially when working with non-sterile or hazardous substances. Product protection is not the focus of Class I.
Areas of application - ideal for activities with low to medium biological risk
The SafeFAST Elite Class I is ideal for applications where only personal protection is required. Typical areas of application:
- Microbiology: Processing of potentially infectious samples
- Virology: diagnostics of viral diseases
- Haematology & serology: handling blood samples
- Cell cultures: When sterility of the product is not required
- Molecular biology & genetics: Working with DNA/RNA under safe conditions
The SafeFAST Elite Class I is also frequently used in veterinary, clinical or diagnostic facilities.
