Laminar airflow cabinet
The workstation housing is made of steel sheets with a powder coating enamel which is very resistant to abrasion and disinfectants. The working space, including the waterproof tray under the worktop, is made of first-class stainless steel with a uniform non-reflective matt surface. During the design, special attention was paid not only to maximum protection of the operator and the environment, a modern user-friendly interface, but also to a design suitable for laboratories and clean rooms according to EN ISO 14644 clean room technology and GMP standards. Practically it means a smooth design, without sharp edges, minimizing joints, easy cleaning and decontamination, high IP protection in the workspace and other improvements.
The front suction grille in the work area has a V-shape design, which prevents its covering by hands, contaminating them and prevent creation of airflow turbulence.
The working space of the workstation can be fully closed with a sliding front window with safety glass. Thanks to the frameless solution, it allows an excellent view. The front window is fully motorized using precise linear drives with feedback and position monitoring. Thanks to this solution, long-term safe and reliable operation is ensured. The position control is in charge of the main workstation control system, which includes programs enabling full cleaning of the glass as well as maximum opening of the glass for the possibility of inserting larger objects into the workspace. The safety of the operator and objects located in the path of the front glass is ensured by a security optical gate.
The MBB workstation is powered by a high-quality, powerful fan with an energy-saving electronically controlled ECM motor. High quality components ensure maintenance-free operation. Compared to standard AC motors, consumption is 70% lower. Maximum environmental friendliness is supported by the possibility of using the reduce mode. The fan makes it possible to maintain the required air flow rate with high accuracy for a long time, despite the gradual clogging of the filter, and thus make optimal use of its service life.
Air filtration is provided by high-efficiency HEPA filters, class H14 according to EN1822, with an filtration efficiency of 99.999%. The filters have a metal frame, quality seals and a protective grille. The control system continuously monitors their pressure loss. The system is equipped with notification system with two notification levels - warning and action. Warning level means that the HEPA filters would be replaced soon, so it is time to order the filter replacement. Action limit is activated when the filters are clogged and must be replaced immediately. In case the workstation is connected to the Internet, the control system will inform also supervisor and service engineer by email or by push notification to their mobile phone.
An efficient germicidal, UV-C lamp is installed in the work area. The shape and location ensure perfect decontamination of the workspace without disrupt the laminar airflow. The lamp is controlled via a touch screen, advanced timer, or remotely via a mobile phone.
The lighting of the working space is provided by LED lighting with high luminosity. It is equipped with continuous regulation (0-100%) to set the ideal lighting comfort.
The working space is equipped with a controlled electrical socket 220 V / 50Hz. It serves both for the connection of devices located in the working space and also in case of decontamination with formaldehyde vapors. The socket is controlled using workstation main control screen or remotely.
The workstation stand has a robust and solid construction made of powder-coated steel, in the same color as the workstation it self, with high resistance to abrasion and disinfectants. The stand has adjustable feet for the possibility of rectifying the unevenness of the surface in the laboratory. To minimize the transmission of vibrations, the stand is equipped with anti-vibration inserts. Thanks to the solid construction and use of anti-vibration inserts, vibration is minimal and significantly contributes to work comfort during vibration-sensitive operations.
The working space is equipped with a temperature sensor that measures and displays the temperature.
The MBB workstation works fully automatically according to the set mode. After selecting the mode, the CR2000 control system automatically sets the target parameters of the workstation for the given activity: idle state, operating and reduce mode, cleaning mode, sterilization and more. The mode is selected via the touch screen or remotely. The system is protected against access by unauthorized persons.
The reduce mode is used for possible interruption of work. It is implemented in such a way that after the subsequent transition to the operating mode, it is not necessary to sanitize the workspace. In this mode, the front glass is moved down and the airflow velocity in the work area is reduced. However, the suction speed through the front opening remains at the required values and thus the safety of the surroundings is still ensured. This achieves further operational savings.
Deviations from safe values are signaled both locally acoustically and optically, and are sent to email and / or mobile phone. All settings are made using the large, clear, touch screen of the CR2000 control system. The main page contains information on the operation status of the workstation, such as the selected mode, current parameters, possible alarm messages with a detailed explanation, controls for accessories (UV-C, electrical socket, gas valve, heating surface, etc.).
HEATING SURFACE WITH OR WITHOUT MICROSCOPE INTEGRATION
For works with heat-sensitive biological material, the recessed heating surface (600x290mm) is integrated into the working desk. This heating surface achieves excellent stability and homogeneity. The top of the heating surface is made of the same material as the surrounding workdesk surface, ie high-quality stainless steel. The basis of the heating surface is a special heated heating glass of a size covering the entire surface. Thanks to this solution, uniform heating is ensured both in the heating surface and in the quartz glass for the microscope.
The heating surface temperature is controlled by means of precise PID regulation within the CR2000 SMART control system. The temperature is measured continuosly with a high precision digital temperature sensor. The evaluation is continuous and the latest algorithms are used. This ensures fast heating of the heating surface without significant overshoot over the set temperature. The heating surface can be controlled both locally and remotely, both within the local data network and via the Internet. The user is able to control both the setpoint temperature setting and is able to enter alarms according to GMP standard.
Is recommended to integrate the NIKON SMZ (745, 800, 1000, 1250) microscope as the best solution. This microscope achieves top performance. In addition to high magnification and high working height, excellent ergonomics.
The concept of the solution of this workstation allows the integration of the illumination developed by microscope manufacturer. As a result, image quality is maximized, and state-of-the-art technologies (such as OCC) can be used. And even upgrades are possible in the future.
Workstation control and management with SMART CR2000
The control and management of the workstation is provided by the state of the art CR2000 smart control system. This system ensures trouble-free operation of the device in 24/7 mode. Control is possible both through the large touch screen and using mobile devices and PC. The touch screen with IPS technology reacts even through laboratory gloves. The display shows all important parameters and states. The speed of the air flow in the working space, temperature in the working space, pressure drop on the filter and temperature of the heating surfaces, are measured continuously with precise sensors.
