Isolators for sterile work (aseptic isolators)
Isolators are a hermetically sealed chamber equipped with transfer devices and fixtures for manipulations that do not compromise the seal. Sterile isolators provide protection for the specimen, the operator, and the environment.
Sterile work isolators provide a physical barrier and can be located in both clean areas and non-sterile areas. The main advantage of sterile work isolators is to provide a sterile working environment without the need for special rooms.
Features:
Depending on the object of manipulation and the degree of safety required, isolators are available with positive and negative pressure in the working chamber
Isolators with negative pressure provide laminar air flow inside the working chamber and are used for preparation of sterile solutions of substances dangerous and especially dangerous for human health with air recirculation or complete air discharge through filters.
Positive pressure isolators provide laminar air flow inside the working chamber and are used for work with samples that are not biohazardous but require high sterility conditions. They provide a high level of protection against external contamination and reduce the risk of cross-contamination of samples.
Main features:
pressure in the working chamber (positive or negative);
number of glove ports;
width of the working surface of the chamber.
Additional features:
High efficiency filters (HEPA or ULPA) and additional disposable prefilters;
availability of glove sizes 7, 8 (standard), 9;
safe waste disposal system with lockable special airlocks;
stainless steel or special heat and wear resistant enamel coating;
air flow rate;
