Safe Weighing toxic, powdered samples in the laboratory weighing cabin SWC - because safety comes first

Sartorius

Active research and development in the pharmaceutical and chemical industry produce more effective drugs and preparations. For researchers and laboratory staff, this means, however, a growing threat in daily contact with highly effective or even harmful substances. In particular, the weighing process poses a threat, since many substances are handled openly.

To create a safe working environment for laboratory employees, without restricting the effective and ergonomic work of the Gottingen technology group Sartorius its product range expanded to include the new Safety Weighing SWC. This was designed specifically for the weighing of toxic or potent substances. The Safety Weighing consists of a mechanically stable construction from 10mm acrylic. Through its ergonomic design, a laboratory scale is to operate without restrictions: The safety car offers a perfect view of the scale, with their angled windshield, it allows a working standing with supervision from above.

The Safety Weighing can be cleaned without opening the safety zone and decontaminate. All internal parts of the cabin can be from the outside, reached through the front opening. By opening a waste can be contaminated wipes disposed of safely.

Stability and vibration-free

Another important advantage of the Sartorius Safety Weighing the decoupling of the filter unit is of the cabin. A base plate made of granite provides stability and additional vibration damping. On the black granite surface can also spill fine powder of tiny amounts are recognized immediately.

The filter system includes a HEPA filter with a retention of more than 99.995%. The simple "bag in bag out" system, the filter can change quickly and without contamination. By going below the minimum permitted inflow, which is measured by two sensors at the front opening of the cabin, a visual and audible alarm is triggered. With the audit trail function of the alarm system may in time of incorrect documents the system secure.

Safety Weighing Sartorius SWC are offered in four different sizes. This gives the user maximum flexibility in terms of the available laboratory space and the weighing system design of the workplace.
