PuriCare® Vertical Flow Stations
By Labconco
PuriCare® Vertical Flow Stations provide an economical solution to safe cage changing and small animal transfer. Its narrow profile fits easily in crowded colony rooms. Unlike traditional horizontal clean benches that offer no operator protection and blow air directly at the user, the PuriCare® Vertical Flow Station protects both the worker from exposure to allergens and the animals form cross-contamination, while providing a more comfortable work environment. HEPA-filtered air circulates through the enclosure in a single pass, avoiding heat build up common with recirculating-type enclosures. Nominal downflow velocity: 55 fpm. Nominal inflow velocity: 75 fpm. Single pass airflow design with no recirculation through the enclosure helps prevent heat stress and odor build up.
