Instrument Enclosure

User protection and containment for devices

✓ User protection and containment for devices in one

✓ Large-volume fume cupboard for corresponding laboratory equipment and analyzers.

✓ Also suitable for weighing

✓ Up to 100% personal protection

Security

Unrivaled protection: Protection of the user and other persons in the room against highly potent substances during the entire weighing or application process or when working with devices that emit harmful vapors. It is not necessary to wear a protective mask.

Highest level of safety: OEL < 20ng/m³, 50x lower than required for G4 hazardous substances and OEB-5 substances.

Visual and audible alarms: let you know immediately when action is required

Filter system

Filter enclosures: The filtration can be installed independently or connected to the building exhaust system.

Vibration-free filtration: Separate filter unit to avoid vibrations.

Patented HEPA H14 particle filter system: with a low-contamination filter change

Product features

Large volume: The cabin is larger than the ST1 safety weighing cabin and therefore offers the advantage of being able to install larger devices in the cabin in addition to weighing.

Built to last:Our cabins are made from the highest quality materials for long-lasting use.

Easy cleaning and maintenance: thanks to robust design

Our service for you

IQ/OQ qualification: the installation qualification (IQ) and functional qualification (OQ “Operational Qualification”) is included at your site by our team of experts

Optional substructure: Can be installed on existing laboratory benches or we can supply a suitable substructure.

Comprehensive training: we take over the induction and training of your employees

Versatile installation: Independent installation with recirculation of the room air or connection to the internal house exhaust air.

Also there for you after the purchase: many questions only arise during work. We are here to answer all your questions about the cabin

Functionality

Key data

  • Outstanding protection: 20 times above the normative requirements
  • Integrated waste system with double waste bag
  • Optimum ergonomics.
  • Constant low airflow and reduced operating costs
  • Independent ventilation, no connection to the ventilation of the room necessary. However, it is possible and very easy to connect the unit to an external fume cupboard in order to comply with INRS recommendations for CMR substances.
  • HEPA H14 ventilation/absolute filter system Patented filter change secured
  • IQ/QO qualification on site by our expert teams included
  • Large opening flap for inserting the corresponding application or analyzers.

Monitoring the air flow

The cabin monitors the ventilation conditions in the laboratory to ensure that no airflow reaches the user, thus ensuring safety. All ST1 safety weighing cabins are tested according to “European Fume Hood” EN14175 and ASHRAE110 standards.

Aerodynamic design

Rounded profiles at the top and sides, so-called flow profiles, prevent hazardous substances from escaping and ensure a laminar air flow. This ensures the precision of the scale and can be compared to a “virtual” glovebox. The air flow is set to 0.4 m/s in accordance with standard 15211.

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 acoustic and visual alarm is triggered if the air flow is disrupted. 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 ceramic, which can absorb spilled liquids. The body is made of high-quality acrylic glass. This does not generate static electricity and at the same time offers very good visibility. The material is 8 mm thick and resistant to chemicals.

Built for longevity

Our cabins are built from the highest quality materials for long-lasting use.

Sizes

Overall height: 863 mm. Total depth: 797 mm. Worktop depth: 730 mm

Available in the following widths: 1200 mm, 1500 mm or 1800 mm

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.

Recommendations and use

Our safety cabins are recommended by leading scale manufacturers and are used by leading companies in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. (prove)

Ergonomics

The unique functionality with front opening for operation ensures excellent ergonomics for long periods of work. The inclined front and armrest provide additional comfort.

With our Bench, the Instrument Enclosure is optionally height-adjustable.

Use and applications

  • Double audible and visual alarm that monitors the ventilation conditions of the room
  • Lateral cable entry for the power connection of the appliances
  • Material with very high chemical resistance that does not generate static electricity
  • Cabin floor made entirely of high-quality ceramic with capacity for holding liquids

Standard methods

  • EN 14175 Part 3
  • NFX 15211

  • 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

IE stands for Instrument Enclosure.

The IE 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.

On the one hand, an IE offers a significantly larger volume (see picture below right) for the corresponding equipment, on the other hand it is designed for standing work.

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 provide you with protection for yourself and the users in your laboratory. We also offer you training courses. 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.

The following sizes are available:
Overall height: 863 mm. Total depth: 797 mm. Worktop depth: 730 mm
The IE is available in the following widths: 1200 mm, 1500 mm or 1800 mm

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

The front flap 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.
