Sancassiano - CAS Trimat 1 Clean Air Cabinet

• Protecting samples and processes from airborne contaminants in laboratory settings.
• Providing a sterile environment for cell culture work and microbiological procedures.
• Used in pharmaceutical compounding to maintain product integrity.
• Suitable for electronics assembly where particulate contamination must be minimised.

Typical airflow type

Often laminar flow, either horizontal or vertical, to create a clean work zone.

Filtration

Typically equipped with HEPA filters, offering 99.99% efficiency for particles 0.3 microns and larger.

Internal dimensions

For this class of equipment, work zones commonly range from 600mm to 1800mm in width.

Power supply

Units are commonly single-phase, 230V, 50Hz for the UK market.

Construction material

Work surfaces are typically stainless steel, with the main cabinet often powder-coated mild steel or stainless steel.

Noise level

Operating noise levels are generally below 65 dB(A) for user comfort.

• What is the primary difference between a clean air cabinet and a biosafety cabinet?

  A clean air cabinet primarily protects the product from contamination. A biosafety cabinet, particularly Class II and III, offers protection for the product, the user, and the environment.

• Does this unit require external venting?

• What maintenance is typically required for a clean air cabinet?

• Can this cabinet be used for handling hazardous materials?

• What certifications should I look for?

Biosafety cabinets are valued for their critical role in protecting operators and samples during hazardous work. Buyers typically prioritise certification compliance and airflow integrity when purchasing used units. Industry sentiment emphasises the importance of verifying maintenance history and airflow testing records. Key strengths include durability of construction and long operational lifespans when properly maintained. Common considerations focus on filter condition, energy efficiency, and compatibility with existing laboratory infrastructure. Reliable performance and consistent operator protection remain central to buyer expectations.
