OverviewThe GLOVE BOX SGS20 HBR is a Class III biological safety cabinet (glove box) designed for handling pathogens and materials with high microbiological risk. It is a sealed isolator where manipulations are performed through gloves mounted on the chamber. The working chamber is maintained at negative pressure and protected by HEPA/ULPA H14 filtration on both inlet and outlet to ensure operator and environmental containment.
Key features and functions- Construction materials: available in PMMA (polymethylmethacrylate) or stainless steel.
- Configurations: 2, 3 or 4 glove ports configurable to operational needs.
- Containment level: designed for high biological risk work and installation in maximum containment laboratories (BSL-4); suitable for manipulation of Risk Group 4 and other highly infectious agents.
- Filtration: HEPA H14/ULPA filtration on both inlet and outlet to protect operator and environment during operation and maintenance.
- Pressure regime: negative pressure working chamber for containment.
- Pass-through: pre-chamber with double interlocked doors for secure material transfer while maintaining containment.
- Controls and safety: advanced control system and alarm functions to monitor containment and operator safety.
- Waste handling: secure waste discharge; optional liquid-detergent decontamination system available.
- Modularity: multiple units can be connected in series for expanded work areas.
