Cytotoxic safety boxes Cytoculture Esco

Working with cytotoxic substances and chemotherapy drugs requires additional safety systems that are not available in standard models of Class II biological safety boxes. Since cytotoxic agents pose an extreme danger to humans and cannot be decontaminated by classical chemical decontamination methods, additional protection is required for both the operator during operation and the technician during filter changes.

Description of the cytotoxic safety room Cytoculture

ESCO Cytotoxic Safety Boxes are based on the well-known Labculture Class II Type A2 model, which meets the requirements of the new European standard for biological safety boxes EN 12469:2000.

A key feature of the CYT cytotoxic safety boxes is the presence of an additional HEPA filter installed directly under the work surface. This filter is changed safely for personnel and the environment when the box is in operation and the fan is on.
