Germfree manufactures Class III BSCs for a wide variety of research and development applications. Germfree specializes with the integration of laboratory equipment into the Class III cabinets. Controls may be relocated outside of containment and ergonomic mock-up units are used to insure proper process flow and comfortable ergonomics. Class III BSCs for research can also monitor and control temperature & humidity and can be fitted with carbon filters for work with volatile organic solvents that are an adjunct to microbiological work.

Germfree is the industry leader for Class III BSC systems built around aerosol generators used in aerobiological studies. Innovative designs using Rapid Transfer Port equipped transfer carts and Class III cabinets insure safety for personnel and research animals while greatly improving productivity and research animal welfare. Germfree has working relations with all major aerosol generator manufacturers. Standard cabinet platforms can be modified to exacting specifications. Germfree is your partner from concept to delivery and operation.

Originally co-developed with United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID), this innovative technology allows a new level of safety and efficiency for animal handlers while:

• Ensuring humane conditions and comfort for animals;
• Allowing a rapid and continuous method of containment and transport for exposed and infected animals;
  
• Significantly reducing human contact time with animals;
  
• Significantly reducing the length of time animals must be anesthetized;
  
• Significantly reducing the possibility of contaminating the environment.

Transporters can dock to the Class III BSC or vivaria doors equipped with interlocking Rapid Transfer Ports (RTP), thereby eliminating containment breaches and potential animal injuries or escapes.

This Class III BSC designed for unique Laboratory Response Network (LRN) and Public Health Labs (PHL) triage requirements is both HEPA and ASZM-TEDA Carbon filtered to provide the highest level of user protection against chemical and biological threats.

The Class III BSC provides an environment for the safe and secure containment, transportation and analysis of suspect nuclear, biological, chemical (NBC) terrorism evidence from the facility receiving area to the analytical laboratory. The units can be fitted with Rapid Transfer Ports (RTPs) to facilitate chain of custody procedures, secure storage of Select Agents, and to simplify work flow and processing.

This BSC integrates with primary containment systems within the All Hazard Receipt Facility (AHRF). The technology for this BSC was developed under a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with the U.S. Army Edgewood Chemical and Biological Center.

ALL HAZARD RECEIPT FACILITY

The standard Class III Portable BSC was developed by the U.S. Army specifically for handling Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD). This system is portable, transportable, rugged and is ideally suited for first responders.

This Glovebox is a complete package. Its components and options have been developed, tested and field proven with over 300 units in mobile lab operations. The exhaust air filtration system is available with HEPA or HEPA/Carbon (MIL Spec is available) filtration for either biological or chemical/biological hazards.

GERMFREE’s SEA-III BSC provides a practical approach to integrating Class III BSC protection into your existing lab. This Class III Biological Safety Cabinet (BSC) is the most cost-effective unit available, opening new options for the traditional microbiology laboratory.

Class III Biological Safety Cabinets are increasingly specified as laboratories confront a range of new and increasingly hazardous challenges. These may include new applications, new agents and enhanced safety protocols. The SEA-III BSC solves the primary obstacles faced when adding Class III containment BSCs to the existing lab: space constraints and cost. Our engineers designed this highly ergonomic Class III BSC to work within the constraints of your lab without compromising on features, functionality and user comfort.
