CLAIRE® XL – MORE ROOM FOR YOUR WORK

claire pro xl big workspace

The Claire® xl models have an extremely extended workspace for demanding applications. Total depth is 927 mm and the safe usable area has a depth of 745 mm.

The workspace height is 824 mm at the front of the workspace and drops to 690 mm at the back wall.

This means that laboratory equipment and most large-scale devices, used increasingly in the microbiological and pharmaceutical sector, can be operated under perfect aseptic conditions (product- and cross-contamination protection).

With the 3-filter system this is especially possible in processes where an increased risk of exposition to hazards exists for the user. Combined personal, product and cross-contamination protection is e.g. required in handling of biological hazards (biological protection level 2–4) or of toxic or carcinogenic agents (e.g. cytostatics, antivirals and other highly active pharmaceuticals).

 

laminar air flow filling machine
The xl now makes it possible to use large devices in the Claire, such as the modular filling and closing system type FSM for the pharmaceutical sector. The dimensions are about 1340 x 550 x 800 mm with a weight of about 100kg.

Optional & Accesories

Various interfaces and additional power sockets

Interfaces allow to connect different kinds of devices within the safety cabinet. Therefore, type and quantity of the interfaces are different according to the need. Find some of the interfaces of our assortment here.


Interfaces :

  • RS 232 -> Important data (for example, from a balance, keyboard, etc.) can be send with the integrated RS-232 Data Link from the working space to the data processing system.
  • USB/USB 3.0 -> Integrated universal interface for connecting peripheral devices such as keyboard, printer, balance, etc. outside of the working space and laterally disposed of the safety cabinet with your data processing system. Mechanically stable and simple plug-in connection with fast data transfer rate. Gross data transfer rate USB 3.0: 500 mb/s
  • CAT 5 -> Integrated interface for signal transmission with high data transfer rates. It enables the exchange of data between a local area network (LAN) connected devices (computers, printers, etc.).
  • PS/2 -> Serial interface for input devices such as Keyboard and mouse.
  • 8 P -> Push/Pull Interface realised from working space to the roof (Roxtec). 8P push-pull -> circular connector connections. For Claire safety cabinets, for example, for connecting compounders or other
  • Ethernet -> Integrated dual interface for signal transmission with high data transfer rates. It enables the exchange of data between connected devices (computers, printers, etc.)in a local area network (LAN).

Powerful systems for UV-C disinfection

The built-in UV C sterilisation system disinfects with a large disinfection effectiveness the workspace thanks to its high performance and shadowfree irradiation. A high irradiance at a wavelength of 254 nm ensures a rapid killing of microorganisms (for example, about 220μW / cm² according to the manufacturer of UV lamps for models with a width of 190 cm).

From this theoretical LD90 values (kill rate: 90%) yield of vegetative bacterial cells and yeast of <2 minutes, bacterial spores (Bacillus subtilis) <5 minutes DNA and RNA viruses gen gen <3 minutes, mushrooms <10 minutes. Few specific exemptions of certain viruses and fungal spores require higher exposure times, so as Aspergillus Niger (spores) about 25 minutes and specific HIV Virus (H9) 40 min.

The appropriate exposure time can be set via the timer on the centrally located touch screen.

Low vibration weighing worktops

Achieved as a mass-spring system the work plate for balances provides a very stable, low-vibration area integrated into the safety cabinet. For undisturbed exact weighing or for other vibration sensitive analytical instruments.

The weighing top has a size of 313 x 600 mm and is made from 1,5 mm thick stainless steel.

The vibration (RMS) could be significantly reduced with the Low-Vibration-System below 5µm (benchmark in relevant technical standards).

The low-vibration area is indicated by a balance symbol.

 

Isokinetic sampling probe for particle monitoring

Continuous particle monitoring

Determination of particle purity class in the working space of a safety cabinet – or horizontal cabinet or an isolator

  • Monitoring the particle purity class A in the working space
  • Integration of a fixed or mobile isokinetic sampling probe

Exhaust air connection Exhaust Duct Flex for connection and feedback-free operation of air exhaust systems

The exhaust air connection FlexDuct ensures feedback-free coupling of safety cabinets to an exhaust air system acc. DIN 12980 and DIN EN 12469.

Outstanding features:

  • Very low total exhaust air volume flow reduces the operating costs significantly by upto 50%
  • Especially for ceiling heights > 2,8 m
  • Ideal for use with height adjustable base frames
  • Free of negative feedback, therefore always maximum personal protection
  • Flexible placement of the safety cabinet according to the lab conditions
  • Safety dampers enable the visual control of safe operating conditions
  • Via safety flaps adjustment of optimum exhaust air volume flow without measurements is possible
  • Fast deinstallation for exhaust air filter check

Important requirements:

  • The distance of the safety cabinet to the wall needs to be at least 7 cm for the safety flaps to open correctly in case of ventilation system failure.
  • The air ventilation system needs to be designed for a total exhaust air volume flow of : 600 +/ – 50 m³/h.
  • A circular connection to the ventilation system with a diameter of 250 mm above the safety cabinet in the ceiling or wall should be in a distance of not more than 4 m.
  • The air ventilation system must monitor the set value of the volume flow. Unsafe conditions have to be indicated by visual and acoustic warning signals.

Various connections for liquid and gaseous media

Connections are possible for a wide range of gaseous and liquid media. These can be easily integrated. Laboratory fittings are ergonomic and can be integrated into the left side panel or back panel.

Some examples :

  • flammable gases
  • non-flammable gases
  • process water
  • compressed air
  • carbon dioxide, CO2
  • nitrogen
  • drinking water
  • demineralised water
  • ultrapure water

Marking, Certificate & Award

CE mark

EC directive conformity mark signifies the adherence to the basic safety and health requirements of the relevant EC directive(s).
