Containment Barrier Isolator - Class III Biosafety Cabinet (CBI-III) offers the highest level of operator, product, and environmental protection from infectious/biohazardous aerosols and is suitable for microbiological work with agents assigned to biosafety levels 1,2,3, or 4. It is designed for an absolute level of containment, it is frequently used for work involving the deadliest biohazards, bacteria, viruses, and microorganisms. CBI-III is configured to operate at a minimum of -125 Pa to provide adequate containment for handling highly pathogenic and lethal biological agents.
Esco Healthcare’s Containment Barrier Isolator – Turbulent Model (CBI-T) is designed to provide isolation of the product or process involving potent powder compounds. It operates in a turbulent airflow regime and facilitates the required environment for powder handling processes like weighing and dispensing. As a containment isolator, the CBI-T operates in a negative pressure mode and provides filtered air into the work chamber. It facilitates the mixing and dilution of airborne contaminants, thus reducing the concentration within the environment. Air from the work chamber is then exhausted through the exhaust filter system.
Containment Barrier Isolator - Unidirectional (CBI-U) utilizes unidirectional/laminar airflow and facilitates the isolation of a product or process while providing the required conditions (ISO Class 5/ Grade A Environment) for a sterile/aseptic environment. This equipment provides a comprehensive range of personnel, product, and environmental protection. It is factory-configured to operate at positive or negative pressure in single pass or recirculating airflow. The type of application dictates the operating parameters (pressure/airflow) of the CBI-U.
Containment Barrier Isolator - Convertible Class III/Class I Biosafety Cabinet (CBI-H) builds on Esco Healthcare’s success of CBI-III. It allows operators to work via a removable glove visor to convert the cabinet and function as a Class III or a Class I Biosafety Cabinet as per EN 12469 standards. In BSC Class III mode, the operator works through a glove port attached to a removable panel. It can be converted to a BSC Class I by removing the closure panel and attaching a blanking plate over the inlet HEPA filter.
