Biosafety cabinets: Growing demand for UV lamps outside the work chamber

The number of requests for biosafety cabinets featured with external UV lamp grows continuously.

The number of requests for biosafety cabinets featured with external UV lamp continuously grows since UV lamps located inside the work chamber create barriers to the downward air flow and form air swirls (turbulence) which lead to cross-contamination of the product.

Specialists of LAMSYSTEMS follow the trend and design their cabinets with pullout UV units placed at the bottom of the cabinet (outside contamination zone) and used only when it is necessary to make disinfection of the work chamber. As a result, the UV lamp is protected from accidental damage during loading of the equipment into the cabinet as well as during disinfection process.

In its working position, the UV unit completely covers the front opening of the cabinet preventing emission of pathogenic agents into the environment and ensuring the protection of the personnel. The lamp is controlled by an optical position sensor insuring protection of personnel from accidental irradiation.

A unique DRIVE-N-ROLL technology provides easy sanitation and use of the UV unit. Moreover, it guarantees the reliability of the pullout mechanism for the entire service life. Finally, there is no need for special place for storage (as in case of removable design).
