Vented Balance Safety Enclosure (VBSE™)

• Designed specifically for balance applications
• Provides protection for personnel while handling potent compounds
• Meets and exceeds the ASHRAE 110 standard for containment
• Uses up to 80% less energy than a standard fume hood

Description

For use in pharmaceutical, chemical, biological, and toxicological laboratory settings. Specifically designed to provide maximum containment for balance applications. The opening of the enclosure has uniquely designed acrylic airfoils that allow a smooth turbulence-free airflow that prevents balance fluctuation. Weigh down to 1μg without fluctuations or loss of product. The work surface is black for easy powder detection, constructed of tough, chemically resistant phenolic resin, and has a dished bottom for containing spills. Enclosures feature an ergonomic, energy efficient design with angled front for worker comfort.

Flow Sciences has conducted independent, third party testing on its enclosures. Using the ASHRAE 110 tracer gas test, the VBSE™ showed zero loss of containment at face velocity measurements down to 31 LFPM.

Enclosures are available in 19.5 inch Tall and 30 inch Tall Models with multiple standard widths to choose from. Unit includes an alarm, which is designed to continuously monitor airflow through the enclosure.
