Certification is supplied by authorised European entity TUV Nord. The complete certification process is more than just the testing of one cabinet but encompasses:

• - full checks of the BioUltra features, including type testing, factory testing and routine maintenance testing
• - full checks of the production installations and procedures to ensure a constant quality, including an annual factory inspection
• - moreover, the cabinets must comply with European directives relating to Electromagnetic Comaptibility (EMC) and Electrical Safety

They are suitable for pathogenic agents of levels 1, 2 and 3 in the various fields of pharmaceutic, academic research centres, biotechnology, hospital and medical laboratories, Q.A. laboratories, etc. Largely exceeding standard requirements with unique features, BioUltra acts as a trustful Bodyguard.

Features:

Ultra safety

• Telstar's patented and unique front window closing system that combines a motorised sliding window with an inflatable gasket giving the following advantages:

- easy and safe cabinet decontamination process; no need of any additional sealing (e.g. plastic bag or night door) nor operator special skills to get the cabinet sealed and no risk of chemicals leaks to the workplace

- the working chamber can be completely isolated from the outside

- the leaktightness of the cabinet is issued even when the power is off and alarm is activated in case of seal failure

• Power cut detection and automatic front aperture closing and sealing (due to battery back-up)
• Turbo exhaust key reinforces the operator protection when needed
• Automatic turbo exhaust activation when the front window is above the working position

Ultra comfort / ergonomics

Operators working several hours at a cabinet deserve good working conditions. Noise and uncomfortable working position are stressful, distracting and even painful after hours of work.

• BioUltra noise at only 55 dBA is several times lower than the most stringent standards requirement (60 dBA)
• Sloped, glareless window improves body position
• Motorised window with fully closed position to avoid the need of a night door
• Armrest above bench level allows are barrier to surround the operator's arms
• Visible command / control panel with large LCD screen
• Light intensity higher than 1000 lux

Ultra user friendly

• Automatic compensation of filter clogging substantially extends both filters' life times. BioUltra controller calculates and displays filter clogging status: filter replacement can scheduled only when necessary, thus reducing service expenses
• Hinged front panel for servicing and window inner side cleaning
• Gas spring supported front panel for easy service operation
• Quick filter tighten / untighten devices reduces main filter replacement time
• Two level password protection replaces keyswitch to prevent non-authorised use or service. This system eliminates the consequences of losing the key or remote control and / or accidental activation of the keyswitch

User friendly controls and control panel

Simultaneous display of working parameters: downflow velocity; inflow velocity; exhaust flow; chamber temperature; % clogging of laminar / exhaust filters

• Self-compensation for the clogging of filters optimises filter life time
• The unique turbo exhaust function which reinforces operator protection when window is above working position or manually operated
• Multilingual menu: English, Spanish, German and French
• Automatic positioning of front window: fully open, working and fully closed
• Remote window positioning keyboard on cabinet frame for easy operator access
