Nanotechnology Enclosures / LABCONCO

XPert Nano Enclosures provide user protection by keeping hazardous powders and particulates contained during procedures such as nanoparticle manipulation and dry powder chemical handling. Room air is pulled into the enclosure through the front, flows to the baffle and finally passes through a 99.999% ULPA exhaust filter before returning to the laboratory or cleanroom. Stainless steel interior sides, removable baffle, removable air foil and integral work surface are easy to wipe down and keep clean. The first enclosures ever to be validated for nanomaterial containment as tested by NanoSafe, Inc.™:

XPert Nano Enclosures

NanoSafe, Inc. developed a testing program to independently evaluate the generation and containment of a controlled nanoaerosol inside a Labconco XPert® Nano™ System. The purpose of the evaluation was to compare nanoparticulate levels generated inside the enclosure via a specialized ejector to particulate levels around the enclosure’s sash opening and ultra low penetration air (ULPA) filtration exhaust. Test methods integrated aerosolization and characterization strategies described in peer-reviewed studies and one existing test method developed for fume hoods







Protector Stainless Steel Filtered Glove Box

PProtector Filtered Glove Boxes provide inlet and outlet HEPA or ULPA filtration and a leak-tight physical barrier to protect the operator from exposure to potentially hazardous materials.

These glove boxes feature particulate containment < 20 nanograms per cubic meter as confirmed by Safebridge Consultants, Incorporated and also meet ISO Class 3 standards.

Labconco HEPA Filtered Glove Boxes may be appropriate for use as containment isolators for applications that include compounds assigned ISO 4 and ISO 5 Banding Levels.
