Lab Automation/Robotic Equipment

Flow Sciences, Inc. leads the lab automation and robotics market with developing containment enclosures to provide both product and personnel protection. Negative pressure provide a turbulent free environment with clean air to protect robotic and powder processing equipment.

Personnel Protection:

A vented enclosure with a face opening that provides negative pressure allowing particles and vapors to be drawn out of the enclosure and into a HEPA filtration unit or to existing house-exhaust. Vented Robotic Enclosures are designed to provide protection for laboratory workers. Flow Sciences’ turbulence-free design optimizes containment providing a safe work environment. These enclosures are designed with personnel protection as the highest priority while working with lab automation or robotic equipment. Designs have been created for the most popular robot manufacturers.

Enclosures are custom designed to meet the unique access needs of each robot while also providing excellent visibility for the operator.

Product Protection:

Flow Sciences offers a clean environment to protect cultures and other samples handled by lab automation equipment. Enclosures provide product protection with a better than Class 1000 clean air environment.

Because the CELA enclosure is custom designed, a Flow Sciences' Representative will work closely with both the client and the robot manufacturer to ensure that the enclosure meets the robot's specific dimensional and operational requirements.

Dual Protection:

Traditional downward flow bio-safety cabinets cannot adequately contain automated equipment without moving large amounts of air due to the robot models’ lengthy footprints. Flow Sciences’ flexible, energy efficient lateral flow design was developed specifically to accommodate the longer layouts and various shapes encountered on robotic designs. The lateral airflow combined with dual filtration provides the highest level of containment available.
