SafeFAST Elite Class I - Reliable personal protection for biohazardous substances

Safe. Robust. Certified according to EN 12469:2000.

The SafeFAST Elite Class I is a Class I biological safety cabinet specifically designed for the safe handling of potentially hazardous or infectious materials. It provides effective protection for operators and the surrounding environment without introducing return air into the work area - a key safety benefit when working with unknown or hazardous substances.

The cabinet is fully compliant with the European standard EN 12469:2000 and represents state-of-the-art safety technology in the field of microbiological laboratory equipment.

100% exhaust air to the ambient air,
no recirculating air

Your product benefits at a glance

  • 100 % exhaust air operation - no risk due to air recirculation
  • Maximum personal protection combined with easy handling
  • Certified according to EN 12469:2000
  • Low energy consumption and quiet operation
  • High-quality materials: stainless steel interior, safety glass, maintenance-friendly filters
  • Ideal for smaller laboratories, medical practices, diagnostic centres and research institutes
  • Class I protection principle – 100 % exhaust air, no recirculation

    The SafeFAST Elite Class I is based on the 100 % air extraction safety concept:

    • Air is drawn in through the front opening, ensuring a continuous airflow is directed away from the operator – this provides effective protection against aerosols, particles or infectious droplets.
    • The drawn-in air flows through a G4 pre-filter (for coarse dust) and an H14 HEPA filter in accordance with EN 1822.
    • The filtered air is then discharged directly into the surrounding environment – there is no air recirculation within the work area.

    This design ensures constant personal protection, particularly when working with non-sterile or hazardous substances. Product protection is not the primary focus of Class I.

  • Areas of application – ideal for activities involving 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: handling potentially infectious samples
    • Virology: Diagnosis of viral diseases
    • Haematology & serology: handling blood samples
    • Cell cultures: where product sterility 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.
