Functionality

Key data

  • Electronic, audible and visual alarm for monitoring the air flow
  • Working opening with constant size but variable height
  • Independent filter system or connection to the building’s fume cupboard
  • Ergonomics and maximum safety
  • Freedom of movement for working with pipettes and handling samples
  • The incoming laminar horizontal air flow enables the use of microbalances
  • Cleaning in accordance with Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) regulations

Monitoring the air flow

The cabin monitors the ventilation conditions in the laboratory to ensure that no airflow reaches the user, thus ensuring safety.

Numerous variants possible: To adapt the system to your requirements. For example, side opening doors can be installed to allow additional access to the system, e.g. for maintenance work.

Security features

Double waste bags mean that hands do not have to be removed while working and therefore no hazardous substances are carried out.

An electronic, audible and visual alarm is triggered if there is a disruption to the air flow. The sensors for this alarm are located under the arm strip, at the height of the profiled opening of the cabin.

The system far exceeds the requirements of the NFX 15211 and EN 14175 Part 3 standards

Materials

The base plate is made of chemical-resistant Trespa as standard, while the body is made of high-quality acrylic glass. This generates no static electricity and at the same time offers very good visibility. The material is 8 mm thick and

Built for longevity

Our cabins are built from the highest quality materials for a long service life. With proper maintenance, they can last a lifetime.

Application and service

Installation, training and maintenance from a single source

Delivery, installation, IQ/OQ qualification and maintenance can be carried out directly for you by our experts.

The measurement of the filter retention rate of the H14 HEPA filter (at least 99.995%) is included in the maintenance as well as the low-contamination filter change after the recommended service life of the particle filter of up to 3 years. You are welcome to arrange a maintenance contract with us directly.

Aerodynamic and ergonomic design

Rounded edges at the top and sides, so-called flow profiles, prevent hazardous substances from escaping and ensure an almost laminar air flow.

By sliding the patented CAV-SASH front slider, you can individually select the optimum access height for the cab while maintaining constant protection. The working opening is very easy and effortless to move and responds to all your movements with optimum ergonomics and maximum comfort.

Options

  • Increase safety by using a double-layer HEPA filter (redundant filter system)
  • Complete the system with an activated carbon filter for protection against solvent vapors
  • External printer stand
  • Second waste system
  • Antistatic strip

FAQ

LEV stands for Local Exhaust Ventilation.

The LEV offers you the option of designing the cabin according to your individual requirements. This means you can have individual dimensions implemented. The working opening is also height-adjustable, giving you maximum flexibility and working ergonomics.

The LEV is suitable for handling analytical equipment, pipetting robots, particle sizers, mills, grinders and much more where the user must be protected from hazardous exposures. You can also carry out weighing processes in the cabin.

A filter with the classification HEPA H14 is used; a solvent filter can be used as an option.

A visual and audible alarm permanently indicates the protection status.

Yes, we recommend changing the filter every 3 years at the latest. According to legislation, you are obliged to have the filter integrity checked once a year. We will be happy to do this for you.

The modular design of the weighing cabinet allows it to be positioned anywhere in the laboratory. Corresponding substructures are also available as an option.

In Germany, the safety of laboratory employees is monitored by various authorities. The main authorities responsible for this are the trade supervisory offices and the occupational health and safety offices of the federal states.

This is theoretically possible, but should always be discussed with your security department.

There are various options for continuing the exhaust air from the cabin, for example recirculation mode or the optional option of transferring it to the house exhaust air.

No, the unique design of a weighing cabin ensures a constant laminar air flow that allows precise weighing.

Once your cabin has been installed, our service team will be available to provide you with detailed product training. Most questions will arise during handling, so we will also be able to help you with any questions that arise at a later date – at your premises or flexibly via an online meeting.

No, you can start immediately after installation. There are other optional accessories, such as anti-static bars, endless waste bags, etc., which make it easier to handle your substances.

We also provide you with the necessary certifications for qualifications and test centers. Our flexible, modular containment systems are made from the highest quality materials and have a very long service life with appropriate maintenance and care.

Yes, the cabins can be optionally equipped with amber light.

The work opening of the cabin allows a large opening so that you can easily place equipment in the cabin. Cleaning is also easy to carry out.

Of course, containment solutions mean restrictions, but our concepts offer you the maximum possible working ergonomics with the highest possible level of personal protection.
