Esco’s Cytoculture® Cytotoxic Safety Cabinet is the premium solution for cytotoxic/antineoplastic drug processing; providing the highest level of patient, pharmacist, and environmental protection. This revolutionary product builds on Esco’s experience of more than 20 years as a global leader in biological safety containment technology.
The unique demands of handling and preparing cytotoxic drugs for use in chemotherapy require a specialized cabinet. With this in mind, Esco has developed a highly specialized cabinet designed especially for the preparation of these potentially dangerous drugs.
Key Benefits:
Safe filter changing
Safer dual exhaust filters
HEPA certified to EN 12469
Air enters the cabinet through perforations located in front of the work zone before mixing with used downflow air in a common chamber below the work zone (this air does not mix with the filtered downflow air in the cabinet’s main chamber). This mixed air then passes through the HEPA filter located beneath the work zone.
The HEPA filtered air then passes through the internal ducting, in the back wall of the cabinet, to a common air plenum where 35% is exhausted through the ULPA exhaust filter and 65% is forced evenly through the ULPA supply filter. This sterilized air serves as the supply downflow, flushing all contaminants from the cabinet’s work zone.
The supply laminar air in the work zone splits and enters the perforations, located at the front and rear-side of the chamber, to reach the common air plenum beneath the work zone; wherein the cycle is repeated.
