Products & services
BioMAT 2 - Class 2 Biological Safety Cabinet
Class 2 Biological Safety Cabinets provide advanced protection for operators, products, and the environment when handling sensitive materials or potentially hazardous substances. Featuring a controlled airflow system with HEPA-filtered inward and exhaust air, these cabinets maintain a constant vertical laminar flow over the work surface, ensuring a clean workspace and preventing the release of airborne contaminants. Class 2 Biological Safety Cabinets from Contained Air Solutions meet BS EN 12469:2000 standards, are independently type-tested by the UKHSA, and can be tailored to your specific requirements.
BioMAT3 Class 3 Biological Safety Cabinet
Class 3 Biological Safety Cabinets provide the highest level of protection for operators, products, and the environment when handling the most hazardous materials (up to Hazard Group 4). Inflow air is HEPA-filtered before entering the fully enclosed work area to deliver a clean, particle-free workspace, and exhaust air passes through double HEPA filters to prevent the release of contaminants. Operators work through gloves attached to glove ports, ensuring complete physical barrier protection. This design offers the ultimate safeguard for your processes, personnel, and products. Class 3 Biological Safety Cabinets from Contained Air Solutions meet BS EN 12469:2000 standards, are independently type-tested by the UKHSA, and can be tailored to your specific requirements.
Laminar Flow Solutions
Laminar flow cabinets and solutions, such as booths and modules, provide a continuous stream of filtered, particle-free clean air that flows uniformly over the work surface, ensuring sensitive materials are protected from contamination. Whether you need a bespoke design tailored to your specific workflows, applications, and protocols, or an off-the-shelf model for a quicker turnaround, we offer laminar flow solutions in a variety of versatile configurations to suit any requirement.
Robotic Biological Safety Cabinets
Robotic Biological Safety Cabinets are available in Class 1 (operator and environment protection) or Class 2 (operator, product, and environment protection) configurations. Engineered to EN 12469 and NSF49 safety standards, these advanced solutions are expertly designed to accommodate robotic instruments and automated processes, ensuring a safe, secure, and controlled environment. Features tailored to suit every instrument, space, and workflow.
Class 1 Hybrid Biological Safety Cabinet
Class 1 Hybrid Biological Safety Cabinets offer flexibility with two configurations; Class 1, and full-barrier containment with an added gloveport closure panel. Both configurations provide optimal protection for operators and the environment when handling potentially hazardous materials, while preventing the release of airborne particulate contaminants. In the Class 1 configuration, a controlled airflow system draws air through the open front, across the work surface, and HEPA-filters exhaust air. The full-barrier configuration draws air through the integrated side HEPA-filter, across the work surface, and HEPA-filters exhaust air whilst maintaining negative pressure, providing enhanced protection for occasional high-hazard tasks. Class 1-Hybrid Biological Safety Cabinets from Contained Air Solutions meet BS EN 12469:2000 standards and can be tailored to your specific requirements.
BioMAT1 Class 1 Biological Safety Cabinet
Class 1 Biological Safety Cabinets provide optimal protection for operators and the environment when handling potentially hazardous materials. Featuring a controlled airflow system that draws air through the open front, across the work surface, and HEPA-filters the exhaust air, these cabinets effectively prevent the release of airborne particulate contaminants, ensuring a safe working environment. Class 1 Biological Safety Cabinets from Contained Air Solutions meet BS EN 12469:2000 standards, are independently type-tested by the UKHSA, and can be tailored to your specific requirements.
Robotic Enclosure
Controlled environments to house robotic instruments for automated processes. Robotic enclosures are expertly designed to house large-scale automated systems. Using a controlled and filtered airflow system, these enclosures are designed to the Class 1 or Class 2 protection standards of EN 12469 and to provide an ISO 14644 clean air environment, ensuring a safe, secure, and controlled workspace for your automated processes. Features tailored to suit every instrument, space, and workflow.
Bespoke solutions
Standard clean air and containment solutions don’t always meet the unique requirements of specific environments or processes. Whether you’re constrained by space, need to integrate new equipment into an existing setup, or have specialised needs, finding the right solution can be challenging. At Contained Air Solutions, we specialise in overcoming these challenges. Whether you need a tailored version of an existing product or a completely bespoke solution. Our expert team works with you to deliver customised solutions that improve safety, enhance process efficiency, and optimise operational performance.
