KC-3 Microbiological Safety Cabinet

The Kojair KC-III is a class III safety cabinet which protects the user and the environment from hazards in handling infected and other dangerous biological material.

The cabinet separates the operator from the work using a barrier, e.g. gloves mechanically attached to the cabinet and from which the escape of any airborne particles is prevented by an exhaust system.

Construction

The cabinet is constructed of stainless steel

Window

The front window can be opened for ease of access to the working area when it is safe to do so.

Finishing

All internal surfaces are solvent, disinfectant and abrasion resistant. The base is flat and rigid, preventing any flexing of the surface which might create dangerous conditions inside the cabinet.

 
Filters

The main filters are leak-tested, high efficiency HEPA-filters which meet the requirements of Federal Standard 209 E. The inlet filter is to the same specification as the exhaust filter. These filters generate the correct airflow, ensuring a minimum working pressure of 200 Pa.

 
Material pass-through

Materials required for normal work are placed inside the cabinet via a material pass-through made of stainless steel. A sliding tray in the bottom of the pass-through makes this easy.

 
Gloves

The gloves have a beaded cuff conforming to the diameter and shape of the glove ports. They are made of a rubber material so that damage to a glove can be detected easily. Gloves can easily be replaced from outside the cabinet, the old gloves being pushed inside and the new ones fitted while the fan is still running.

The Kojair KC-3 Cabinet fulfills the requirements of EN-12469.
