Based on our NSF-listed / EN12469 type-tested Esco Labculture® Class II Type A2 Biohazard safety cabinets, Labculture® Cytotoxic Cabinets are specifically designed and manufactured for work involving handling and preparation of cytotoxic drugs. The main feature of this cabinet is the installation of a HEPA filter immediately below the work surface. This reduces the extent of contaminated areas in the cabinet and makes it possible to safely change the filter without the need for decontamination.

It must be noted that cytotoxic products cannot be decontaminated via conventional means (i.e. formaldehyde, hydrogen peroxide etc.) and therefore all work with cytotoxics must utilize a cabinet such as this which has been designed to allow a safe filter change.

Built to meet requirements of DIN 12980 and AS 2567 for cytotoxic drug safety cabinets, the Labculture® Cytotoxic cabinet range features all the latest design features available on our Labculture® Class II Type A2 biosafety cabinets, such as the single-piece internal liner, Sentinel™ microprocessor-based control system, laminated shatter-proof safety front sash and BioCote antimicrobial powder-coating.

As with our Esco Labculture® Class II Type A2 Biohazard Safety Cabinets, Esco Labculture® Cytotoxic cabinets are individually factory-tested and delivered with commissioning report.

Optional configurations:
a. Lead shielding for nuclear medicine applications (refer to image)
b. Optional carbon filter in lieu of HEPA installed below work surface (this configuration affords no protection for the service technician when changing filters contaminated with cytotoxic drugs). Refer to image
