FASTER safety cabinet SafeFAST XXL

The FASTER SafeFAST XXL safety cabinet is a particularly spacious microbiological safety cabinet that is specially designed for large-volume and heavy laboratory applications. It guarantees a high level of protection for the user, product and environment, as it works in a vacuum and safely extracts the air via class H14 HEPA filters. Compared to other similar solutions on the market, it is characterised by its robust design, flexible customisation options and first-class energy efficiency.

High flexibility and safe operation

This large-format safety cabinet is certified in accordance with EN 12469 and EN 61010-1 and is designed for a wide range of applications in the biotechnological or pharmaceutical sector. Thanks to its high working and interior depth of 1,000 mm, even bulky devices such as 3D printers or automated laboratory robots can be safely integrated. Thanks to the integrated H14 HEPA filters (for removing even the finest particles), the system ensures clean air of class ISO 3 in accordance with ISO EN 14644-1.

Another advantage lies in the division of the air flows: 70% of the air is recirculated as a vertical flow, while 30% escapes via the exhaust air filter. This creates an optimum balance between personal protection and product purity. A circumferential inflow barrier with a speed of approx. 0.5 m/s also contributes to safety and prevents potential contaminants from escaping the work area.

The entire interior of the workbench can be easily accessed thanks to the hinged front panel, which makes cleaning and maintenance work considerably easier. The integrated DEHS test openings (quick couplings) also make it easier to quickly check the filter integrity. A microprocessor controls all relevant functions and warns of any deviations, ensuring that the workbench works reliably at all times.

- Robust steel construction with epoxy powder coating
- Reinforced stainless steel outer housing elements and interior panelling
- H14 HEPA filter for vertical downflow and exhaust air
- LED lighting outside the work area to minimise shadows
- Front and side windows made of safety glass with an opening height of up to 600 mm
- Electronic DC fans for constant air flow and energy efficiency

The system can also be customised, for example with different materials in the interior (e.g. AISI 316 stainless steel), additional data outlets or special dimensions. IP 55 sockets are available for the safe connection of laboratory equipment.

Maintenance is carried out by qualified TÜV Nord-certified service technicians. This includes microbiological decontamination using modern H?O? generators, visual inspections and any necessary repairs. An optional maintenance contract ensures regular functional checks. Spare parts are available within 24 hours thanks to the extensive warehouse.Certifications and standards

The safety cabinet fulfils the requirements of EN 12469, which specifies the basic safety and performance characteristics for microbiological safety cabinets. It also complies with EN 61010-1 for electrical safety.

FAQs

How does the large work surface make my processes easier?

The spacious depth and width design makes it possible to safely accommodate even large equipment while efficiently placing samples, instruments and consumables.

Is the workbench suitable for use with hazardous chemicals?

It serves to protect against biological contamination, but can only be used to a limited extent for work with highly volatile chemicals. For highly volatile substances, additional extraction or an appropriate fume cupboard is recommended.

How often should the safety cabinet be maintained?

An annual service is usually recommended. A six-monthly check may be advisable for particularly critical applications or high-traffic use. A maintenance contract ensures that all checks are carried out on time.

Why is recirculation so important

The ratio of 70 % recirculation to 30 % exhaust air creates a balance between workspace cleaning and personal protection. Rising particles are safely retained in the main filter, while part of the air is constantly discharged to the outside.

Can the safety cabinet be adapted to different room heights?

Yes, the design allows a certain degree of flexibility in terms of dimensions. In addition, the height of the front and side panels can be adjusted in order to be optimally adapted to local conditions.

This means that according to the GMP guidelines, Annex Biocontamination, no more than 5 CFU (colony forming units) may be detected on sedimentation plates at any point within the cleanroom workbench after 4 hours of operation.

The CleanBoy Plus has the same ''inner workings'' as the standard CleanBoy series from Spetec GmbH:

• The main difference is that all housing parts are made of stainless steel . Corners and edges are rounded so that the appliance surfaces can be cleaned easily. All joints are sealed so that germ nests can be avoided. Only materials that are resistant to common disinfectants and cleaning agents are used.
• The centrepiece of the cleanroom workbench is the filter technology from Spetec GmbH, which has been tried and tested over many years: the device contains a high-performance HEPA H14 filter. This has a filtration efficiency of 99.995%, which means that the filter filters out at least 99.995% of all particles and germs with a particle size of 0.3 µm.
• By using the H14 filter, the Spetec CleanBoy Plus has an isolation factor of 104, which means that the air quality in the working area is at least 10,000 times better than the ambient air.
• A significant effect of the filtered cleanroom atmosphere is that the bacterial count within the work area is also drastically reduced. Practically sterile conditions prevail in the work area of the workbench (see table in Technical data).
• A practically germ-free atmosphere in the work area is created by filtering out viruses, bacteria, yeast and mould from the air.

All surfaces are designed for hygienic cleaning and disinfection. Particular emphasis was placed on fulfilling the concept and design recommendations of the EHEDG, ISO 14159 and 1672-2.

The cleanroom workbench is recommended for the clean and hygiene-critical production of pharmaceuticals and medical-technical products. With little investment, cleanroom and hygiene conditions can be created wherever they are needed. The device requires no installation - it is ready for operation in just a few minutes.

High-performance filter
Type H 14 filters are used for Spetec air purifiers. This has a filtration efficiency of 99.995%. This means that the filter filters out at least 99.995% of all particles with a particle size of 0.12 μm (according to MPPS). At a particle size of 0.3 μm, the separation efficiency is approx. 99.9995%. By using the H 14 filter, Spetec air purification devices have an isolation factor of 10,000, which means that the air quality under the laminar flow module is improved by at least 10,000 times compared to the environment.

Operational Principles
The ambient air is drawn in from the slots at the stainless steel base of the front opening and it then passes through the H14 HEPA filter bank below work surface from where it is drawn up and blown into the plenum of the recirculating and exhaust fan.The ''bio-dynamic sealing system'' of the negative pressure plenum ensures that all contaminated particles are kept inside the system and are automatically drawn to the plenum or pressure chamber to be captured by the main re-circulating and exhaust H14 HEPA filters.The fan system assures that no part of the cabinet comes even under positive contaminated pressure to the laboratory, thus protecting and preserving the environment and operating personell from exposure to cytotoxic drug, CMR compounds and agents of biocontamination. 70% of the filtered air is re-circulated (after passing through double banks of H14 HEPA filters) In an ISO 3 laminar flow pattern downwards into the work chamber and the remaining 30% is exhausted to atmosphere through another H14 HEPA filter.
