CYTO ACTIVA VE (for cytostatic)


The cabinet CYTO ACTIVA VE has been developed for the comprehensive protection of operator, product and environment during the manipulation of pathogen.
The biohazard cabinet Class II Type A1 and A2 (ex A and B3) has an opening front that draws air from the outside, vertical laminar airflow inside the cabin and HEPA filter output.

As required by regulations the air, decontaminated by HEPA filter, descends vertically with Class 100 laminar flow in the working area and it crosses the worktop. The contaminated air passes through the first stage of filtration placed under the worktop and is sucked by the fan motor at the top of the cabin and conveyed into a plenum: here about 70% of the air is sent again into the working area with absolute filtration while the remaining 30% is expelled to the outside, thanks to a second fan motor, after the absolute filtration. The expelled air is replenished with an equal amount of ambient air sucked through the front opening, creating a barrier front of isolation in the area of access to the workspace.

The cabinet is specific for cytostatic and preparation of antiblastic drugs.


Cyto Activa, 120 - 150 and 180 models have TUV certification in according to UNI EN 12469 (cert. n° ZI 10 09 62765 004 e n°Z1 10 09 62765 003)
