Class III Gloveboxes

 

Exhaust Filtration Systems

Designed originally for military mobile laboratory applications, the NBC filter system unit has been incorporated into Class III BSC for civilian first responders and public health laboratories.  Air coming from the Class III BSC passes through an exhaust HEPA filter prior to reaching the NBC Filter System Unit where it passes through an additional HEPA filter and two MIL Spec Carbon filters prior to discharge to the outside environment.  The air sampling port located between the two Carbon filters is used to monitor any breakthrough from the first filter to determine whether both Carbon filters should be replaced during maintenance.  Bubble-tight inlet and exhaust dampers allow for gas decontamination of the HEPA filter and housing prior to filter change.  The filter unit is designed with a Bag-Out system for safe removal and disposal of the HEPA and Carbon filters.

Custom filtration systems are available.
