  • Mini Cabinas.

Class I Biosecurity Cabin

This equipment has certain characteristics regarding the work requirements, so the operator must be aware of their needs in order to acquire one, among its description we have:

  • It does not protect the product from contamination because the raw room air constantly enters the work area. 
  • As a partial containment unit, it is suitable for work with low to moderate risk agents, where there is a need for containment, but not product protection. 
  • The Class I biosecurity cabin HEPA filter protects the environment by filtering air before it runs out. 
  • With the negative pressure, the protection of the personnel is possible thanks to the constant movement of air in the work area.

Class II Biosecurity Cabin

In the case of Class II biosecurity cabins or hoods, it has characteristics in terms of the protection it offers, and kalstein offers you a variety of models with unmatched advantages of use:

  • Three protections: operator, sample and environment.
  • Airflow system: 0% air recirculation, 100% air exhaust.
  • It is necessary when significant quantities of radionuclides and volatile chemicals are expected to be used.
  • The large digital display is easy to monitor the entire work area, made of 304 stainless steel, the safety parameters at a glance and is surrounded by negative pressure.
  • Lámpara UV de control remoto.
  • All functions can be performed with it, which makes the emission of 253.7 nanometers for most decontamination operation much easier and more efficient.

Horizontal Laminar Flow Cabin

  • The laminar flow cabinet is a workbench or similar enclosure, which creates a particle-free working environment by taking air through a filtration system and expelling it through a work surface in a laminar or unidirectional air stream. 
  • It is closed on the sides and kept under constant positive pressure to prevent the infiltration of contaminated ambient air. 
  • It is widely used in medical research laboratories, hospitals, manufacturing facilities and other research and production environments.

Vertical Laminar Flow Cabin

  • Laminar flow cabin is widely used in medical research laboratories, hospitals, manufacturing facilities and other research and production environments.
  • Airflow speed, UV timer, UV working time, 2 waterproof sockets located on the side in real time, for optimal comfort of use.
  • Grifo de gas para lámpara UV.
  • Transparent side glass windows maximize light and visibility within the cabinet, providing a bright and open working environment.

Cytotoxic Safety Booth

  • The KALSTEIN cytotoxic safety cabinet is the premium solution for the processing of cytotoxic drugs / antineoplastic, 
  • It provides the highest level of protection for the patient, the pharmacist and the environment. 
  • The unique demands of handling and preparing cytotoxic drugs for use in chemotherapy require a specialized cabinet.

Cabins for PCR

  • Sistema de esterilización UV. 
  • HEPA filter efficiency 99.999% at 0.3 μm.
  • Interlocking function: the UV lamp can only be turned on when the front window is closed, ensuring operator safety.
  • UV timer (0-90 minutes): When the setting time expires, the UV lamp automatically turns off in preparation for the next experiment.

Gas Extractor Hood

  • The extractor hood is used to protect the laboratory environment and the operator during general chemical applications. 
  • It actively protects the operator from inhaling toxic fumes and drastically reduces the risk of fire and explosion. 
  • By installing a suitable filter, you can also protect the environment.

Mini Cabins

  • Air speed is adjustable.
  • Table type, easy to transport and save space.
  • Microprocessor control system, LED display.
  • HEPA filter with efficiency: 99.999% at 0.3 μm.
