High performance

Touchscreen interface, simple and intuitive, offering various innovative applications.

Safety

A controlled design for safe handling.

Custom configuration

Erlab offers numerous options specifically adapted to the needs of each laboratory.

PERFORMANCE

Exceptional technical performance for optimal working comfort.

The work area, swept by a laminar airflow, ensures clean air free from any particles that could contaminate the handled products. A very high-efficiency HEPA H14 filter removes particles before air is exhausted into the lab.

The MSC is equipped with dual ventilation, for both supply and exhaust, ensuring a stable and constant air barrier, regardless of filter clogging. Air enters through the MSC front window opening. All particles from the outside are drawn into the air barrier to avoid contaminating the handling. This airflow passes under the work surface then moves upward to the HEPA H14 filters.

The laminar airflow speed is 0.40 m/s. Part of the airflow is directed to the exhaust filter (about 30%) to be released into the laboratory. The other part of the flow (about 70%) passes through the supply filter to be then released into the handling chamber, thus creating a laminar flow. This class 100 – ISO 5 airflow ensures protection of the handling from airborne contaminants, in compliance with the European standard EN 12469-2000.

SAFETY

High-efficiency filters for enhanced filtration.

Equipped with HEPA H14 filters for both supply and exhaust, dual EC-motor ventilation, and a powerful air barrier, Solis microbiological safety cabinets provide a protected workspace for safe handling.

Erlab HEPA H14 filters meet current efficiency standards (99.995% MPPS according to EN1822-1) and create a class 3 ISO working environment.

Air is blown into the work area through a HEPA H14 absolute filter at 0.40 m/s across the entire manipulation area, in accordance with ISO 14644 standard.

THE COMPLEMENTARY RANGE

Erlab offers additional filtration to enhance biological or chemical protection

ADDITIONAL HEPA FILTER
ADDITIONAL ACTIVATED CARBON FILTER

ADDITIONAL HEPA FILTER

At the exhaust When handling BK-type mycobacteria. Possible connection to the building’s exhaust system.

Under the work surface For optimal biological protection. Possible connection to the building’s exhaust system.

ADDITIONAL ACTIVATED CARBON FILTER

At the exhaust When handling chemical products used in small quantities. Caution: this setup causes recirculation of chemicals in the work area which could contaminate the current manipulation.

Under the work surface Highly recommended when handling CMRs (Carcinogens, Mutagens, Reproductive toxins). This configuration prevents recirculation of chemicals in the work area.

ERLAB TECHNOLOGY

A powerful and innovative technology.

Touch screen

The home screen displays the flow speed and alarms. Available applications: calculator, timer, webcam, MP3 reader, etc.
MSC personalisation and operational monitoring: date of installation, date of next service, filter status display, etc.

Voice control

Controls the front window. Very useful when your hands are full!
Can also launch a UV cycle and control the camera.

HEPA H14 filtration

HEPA, which stands for “High Efficiency Particulate Air”, refers to an air filtration technology. The air flow filter removes particles from the ambient air before it flows into the workspace, protecting the samples handled against the risk of cross-contamination. The extraction filter removes particles before extraction into the laboratory.

Solis Twist & Clean^©

Failure to clean the interior window of a microbiological safety cabinet risks microbial or bacterial proliferation, which may contaminate the handling or skew test results.
The Solis microbiological safety cabinet is equipped with a patented window tilting device, so you can easily clean the inside of the front window: Solis Twist and Clean©. This innovative system allows full cleaning of the front window and seal, while maintaining a comfortable posture.

Work surface

Segmented (autoclavable) or monobloc, the work surface can be completely disassembled for access to the holding tank. 304L or 316L stainless steel coating, highly resistant to corrosion.

Suction protection grille

Placed under the work surface at the entrance of the extraction duct, to prevent the fan from extracting wipes, cloths or any lightweight material.

Air barrier

An air barrier is created between the handling and the operator, thus capturing any ingress/egress of potentially pathogenic particles for optimal safety.

Electrical outlets

2 electrical outlets are provided to power small laboratory devices, such as pipette chargers, agitators, etc.
The right-hand outlet is connected to a timer and is programmable via the
touch screen.
