Safemate Q are a series of Microbiological Safety Cabinets Class II type A2, designed in compliance with EN12469-2000. The internal design, the air flow aerodynamics and monitoring, the built-in safety devices and the very accurate manufacturing, guarantees the highest performances at the most stringent safety levels, as specified by EN12469 standard. The soft plenum, along with a careful design of the airflows allow for a very low noise level to provide the most comfortable working environment.
- Advanced features: active front window belts tension control system. This mechanism interrupts the unrolling of the suspension belts supporting the front window in case of a jam or of the presence of obstacles to the window movements. This avoids the risks of the glass falling suddenly and reduces the risk of pinching during the window’s movement.
- ECO mode: this operational mode allows the reduction of power consumption and noise level while keeping the inner working area sterile. When engaged the front sash will be lowered to a few centimeters from the working surface and the motorblower will slow down. The reduced opening will allow the lower airflow to keep the front barrier active. Working is not allowed when in ECO mode.
- Soft plenum: the plenum is made with textile material to better compensate for blower vibrations and provide a more stable and uniform airflow in the working area, achieving a very quiet operation condition
