Spetec Laminar flow module FMS 75 Basic
Basic version of the filter module

The Basic-module is a simpler, more affordable alternative to the laminar flow module of the ''SuSi'' series.

The laminar flow module is offered in a simple, robust version. With an EC-motor with step-less speed regulation the air flow speed can be adjusted to the requirements.

Through the Master/ Slave function one control unit is able to control up 100 Slave-modules (optional).

The laminar flow module can be used as a separate filter unit or in combination with a clean room cell. Retrofitting into a laminar flow box is not possible.

Spetec Clean room station CleanBoy Maxi
Clean room station and work place. Floor-standing device with work surface

The CleanBoy Maxi consists of a laminar flow module series ''SuSi'' and a supporting frame made from anodized aluminium. Work can be performed on the table top under category 5 clean room conditions.

One of the most noteworthy features of the modules is the extremely low level of noise produced by the fans. The modules include an operating hours meter, a filter change and error indicator and a display for setting reproducible flow rates.

A mobile, wheel-mounted version of the CleanBoy makes it possible to transport the unit to different locations within the company. It is also possible to adapt the dimensions to meet the requirements of problematic workplaces.

Control panel
The flow velocity can be controlled in 8 steps. The controls include the ''night reduction'' (eco) mode to save energy costs, and the ''MAX'' function to clean the workstation, parts or equipment if applicable.

• 8 level adjustment of the flow velocity with night reduction and flushing function
• LCD display with selected flow velocity in m/second
• Automatic flow adjustment with filter replacement indicator (optional)
• LED fault indicator
• Connection options for building control systems (remote monitoring) (optional)
• Interior light switch on the control panel (optional)
• Service and interval indicator, dependent on the usage period

FASTER SafeFAST Top microbiological safety cabinet with double fan

This safety cabinet is a class II solution for demanding laboratories and cleanrooms that require the highest safety standards. With its robust stainless steel construction, precise air flow and quiet operation, it is often used in microbiological, virological and pharmaceutical applications. The model scores points above all for its reliable combination of personal and product protection and clearly stands out from comparable products thanks to its energy-efficient technology and ergonomic design.

Performance features and special features

The workbench has been specially designed for areas where sensitive or potentially hazardous substances are handled. In addition to the outstanding air purity achieved by a clever combination of main and exhaust air HEPA filters (H14), this model offers numerous features that simplify everyday work in the laboratory:

- Double fan for constant air flow and reliable exhaust air flow
- Energy efficiency with a consumption of less than 281 W for economical operation
- Low noise emissions of maximum 57 dB(A) for a pleasant working environment
- Hinged front window for efficient cleaning of all internal surfaces
- Seamless stainless steel interior with rounded corners for easier decontamination
- Segmented work surface for flexible arrangement of samples and equipment
- Versatile accessories: from IV hanging rods to additional media connections and ergonomic footrests

The entire design enables a uniform vertical air flow, which ensures consistent sterility even with higher sample volumes. In addition, a UV lamp can be integrated for automatic decontamination, which is particularly practical for frequently changing test series or in cleanroom environments.

Technical data at a glance

The device is available in different widths (0.9 m, 1.2 m, 1.5 m and 1.8 m) to fulfil a wide range of requirements. The other dimensions are largely identical, making it easier to integrate into existing laboratory equipment. Key technical specifications include:

- Available sizes (W x H x D): 1015 x 1470 x 785 mm to 1930 x 1470 x 785 mm
- Usable internal dimensions (W x H x D): 885 x 660 x 580 mm to 1800 x 660 x 580 mm

- Cell culture: Sensitive cell lines of animal or human origin can be cultivated under sterile conditions without increasing the risk of contamination.
- Genetics: Genetic engineering processes and extractions of DNA or RNA benefit from the uniform air flow and constant cleanroom level.

In addition, accessories such as vacuum pumps, centrifuges or other laboratory equipment can be connected in the interior. This ensures a consistently sterile environment without the need to relocate reacting samples.

FAQs

How often should the UV lamp be changed?

As a rule, it is advisable to replace the UV lamp every twelve months, as its effectiveness decreases with increasing operating time.

Why is the double fan so important?

Two fan motors ensure a stable air flow in the interior and safe exhaust air handling to the outside. This reliably keeps both germs and impurities at bay.

What is the best way to clean?

The windscreen can be opened by hand so that all surfaces are accessible. A suitable disinfectant can be used to thoroughly clean the seamless stainless steel components in particular.

Can adaptations be made for international power grids?

As the appliance is designed for 1Ph+E - 230 V at 50 Hz as standard, special conversions or additional connections for other power grids can be made on request.
