Felcon Class II Cabinets

Felcon Class II Air Flow Cabinets are essential for laboratories that handle potentially hazardous materials. These cabinets ensure a safe environment by protecting both the user and the materials being used. A key feature of their design is the air flow system, which is vital for maintaining safety and cleanliness.

How Class II Air Flow Works:

  • Inflow: Air is drawn from the laboratory environment through the front opening of the cabinet, creating an air barrier that prevents contaminants from escaping.
  • Downflow: HEPA-filtered air is blown downwards from the top of the cabinet, creating a clean work zone free of contaminants.
  • Exhaust: A portion of the air is recirculated within the cabinet after passing through another HEPA filter, while the rest is expelled back into the laboratory or outside, depending on the cabinet type.

This advanced air flow design effectively ensures a steady supply of sterile air, helping to protect users from hazardous material exposure while maintaining a contamination-free work environment. To maximize performance and safety when using Felcon Class II Air Flow Cabinets, it is important to follow established protocols and maintenance guidelines diligently. By doing so, you can enhance the overall effectiveness of the equipment and create a safer workspace.
