The Erlab Captair Molecode S automated recirculating fume cabinet filter alarm system can be used for laboratory managers working with strong substances who require the assurance that their fume cabinet is keeping the workplace safe.
Removing the requirement to manually test filter saturation on a regular basis, the alarm effectively removes human error from the fume cabinet safety testing process.
The device can detect a large spectrum of solvents using its unique twin detection cell technology. One filter saturation detection cell is positioned inside the exhaust chamber of the fume cabinet while the second detection cell is exposed to the ambient air in the laboratory.
The design minimises false alarms by continuously measuring both the ambient laboratory air and the filtered exhaust air. If there is any increase in the level of contamination of either source the device will alarm both visually and audibly to alert its user of the change. The fume cabinet display will then provide details of the alert and will also indicate whether the filter requires changing.
