Class 1,2 or 3 TriMAT System from CAS

High level of operator protection, fully compliant with EN 12469:2000.

Product features

The TriMAT system can be fitted to the full range of CAS microbiological safety cabinets and provides as standard:

• Constant exhaust volume irrespective of cabinet being ON, OFF or undergoing fumigation, which greatly assists stability of negative pressure air regimes within the containment facility
• Emergency recirculation function via a double HEPA exhaust filter in the event of remote fan failure, allowing the safe conclusion of work under containment
• The ability to handle additional room air extract volume, simplifying overall air handling design and possibly alleviating the need to install additional room exhaust facilities.
• Bypass air can be extracted via a simple grille for Containment Level 2 facilities or via a room HEPA filter for Containment Level 3 applications

Design benefits for containment laboratory designers

The Advisory Committee on Dangerous Pathogens (ACDP) guidance on the design of containment laboratories stipulates that facilities should be maintained at a constant negative pressure (typically -30 to -50 Pa) to ensure safe containment. The use of the constant exhaust TriMAT system greatly simplifies containment laboratory air handling design by providing a fixed exhaust volume irrespective of whether the cabinet if ON, OFF, or undergoing fumigation.

Containment laboratories are normally designed to provide at least 20 air changes per hour. The TriMAT bypass module can allow significant additional room extract volume through the cabinet exhaust duct. This feature can greatly simplify overall air handling design and cost by negating the need for dedicated additional room extracts. TriMAT cabinets can also be manifolded into a central exhaust system allowing for multi-cabinet installations, further reducing design and installation complexity and cost of ownership.
