Promotion of High-End Biological Safety Cabinets in the Middle East Market

Telstar will promote its latest range of high quality Class II Biological Safety Cabinets Biovanguard in the Middle East markets after consolidating its position in the European markets. The expansion of high-end Telstar Biovanguard cabinets, which were launched earlier last year, to the Middle East market is in response to the increasing demand for high quality solutions and high performance capability by companies located in this area. Biovanguard will be formally presented at the Arablab exhibition.

Telstar Biovanguard range is designed to provide the highest level of protection for the operator, product and environment by minimising hazards inherent to working with agents assigned to biosafety levels 1, 2 and 3. BioVanguard Series is comprised of two different models: BioVanguard and BioVanguard B. BioVanguard is designed for microbiological research with biological agents and allergens. BioVanguard B (with additional 1^st stage HEPA filtration) is designed for high risk microbiological and highly toxic applications, such as the production of cytotoxic drugs.

The Telstar BioVanguard Series has been designed in accordance with the highest standards of quality, biological safety, reliability, ergonomics and usability. Possessing all the features of an ergonomic, high quality and performance cabinet, the BioVanguard Series is designed to offer low sound level, low energy consumption and low maintenance costs. In terms of energy efficiency, this range of cabinets has Green Line EC fans, resulting in lower energy consumption (about 30% less than the average biological safety cabinet).

Biovanguard has an integrated pre-filter to condition the incoming air, thereby reducing the level of particulate matter entering the cabinet, which dramatically extends the life of the HEPA filters. Other particular features of BioVanguard Series are the ergonomic sloped, easy-to-clean sliding/hinged front window, ultra safe multi-shell construction, UV light and gas valve safety control, worktop with V-shaped air slits, integrated drip tray, filter clogging compensation and innovative, unique and patented 4F System (Fast, Friendly and eFFicient) to support replacement of the filters.

Furthermore, downflow velocity can be set up to 0.45 m/s (according to GMP Annex 1 and PIC regulations) and connections are available for particle count sensor, pressure sensor and temperature/relative humidity sensor.
