Safety cabinets Product protection fume hoods
Product protection fume hoods ensure a particle-free working environment for sensitive samples in laboratories, the pharmaceutical industry, and research. These clean benches with vertical airflow protect work materials specifically against contamination from ambient air. Specialist users can find solutions here, such as the Scanlaf Fortuna Clean Bench for precise work under cleanroom conditions.
Product protection fume hoods
Technology and function of product protection fume hoods
Product protection fume hoods, also known as clean benches, are essential for activities where the working medium must be protected from particles and microorganisms. In contrast to Class 2 safety cabinets according to EN 12469, which primarily focus on operator protection, these systems concentrate on product integrity through a controlled, filtered airflow.
Vertical airflow (Vertical Flow) and cleanroom conditions
Models such as the Scanlaf Typ Fortuna Clean Bench 1200 operate with a vertical airflow. This so-called vertical flow ensures that filtered air is directed from above across the work surface to effectively displace contaminants from the work area. This is particularly important in diagnostics, cell culture, and sterile production, where impairment of samples by ambient air must be excluded.
Accessories and supplementary systems for laboratory operation
Specific accessories for safety cabinets are often necessary for the efficient operation of the workbenches. Depending on the application, the workstations can be expanded:
- Suction systems for the safe handling of liquids
- Gas burners for sterile work within the workbench
- Different housing widths from approx. 120 cm to 180 cm for various space capacities
Frequently asked questions about product protection fume hoods
Information on the selection and use of clean benches in a professional laboratory environment.
What is a product protection fume hood used for?
It serves to create a particle-free zone to protect sensitive samples from environmental factors, for example in pharmaceutical quality control or microbiology.
What is the advantage of vertical flow systems?
With vertical flow, as in the Fortuna Clean Bench series, air flows from top to bottom. This minimizes turbulence at the work opening and enables a compact design of the devices.
When is a Class 2 safety cabinet required?
If, in addition to product protection, operator protection (e.g., when handling infectious material) is mandatory, a Class 2 safety cabinet according to EN 12469 must be chosen.
Which widths are available for this device class?
The workbenches are based on standard dimensions for laboratories, frequently available in widths of approximately 120 cm, 150 cm, or 180 cm.
Which accessories are useful for sterile work?
For sterile work steps, the integration of safety gas burners as well as special suction systems for the controlled disposal of media is recommended.
