AUSTRALIAN STANDARDS
CG2010 CytogardTM drug safety cabinets are designed and manufactured to comply with all requirements of Australian Standard AS2252.5. Each cabinet is factory-certified by a NATA Accredited laboratory to meet the specified performance requirements. These cabinets may also be used where the handling of other drugs and chemical requires both containment and aseptic manipulation. Cytotoxic safety cabinets are part-recirculating laminar air flow enclosures with high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filtration of exhaust air and an air barrier at the work opening. HEPA-filtered vertical laminar airflow which is recirculated in the work zone creates an ultra- clean work environment for product protection. An air barrier between the operator and the work zone is maintained by a flow of room air into a full width grille in the work opening. The barrier air mixes with the recirculated laminar flow air in a sump underneath the work surface and is exhausted from the cabinet via a HEPA filter which is located directly under the work tray. All positive pressure zones and filter seals are surrounded by negative pressure zones, so as to contain potentially hazardous aerosols.
Cabinets are available with the work zone width of 90cm, 120cm or 180cm and are free standing units that incorporate a floor stand. Standard cabinets have exhaust discharge on the right-hand side with optional left-hand side or top exhaust available. Top exhaust is typically specified where cabinet exhaust air is to be entrained into the room exhaust in accordance with AS2252.5. These cabinets provide advanced system monitoring technology and a number of unique design features intended to enhance safety and ease of use.
