• Built-in micro switch allows safe operation of the ultraviolet light source
• Integrated white polypropylene base provides a clean and chemical resistant work surface
• Fluorescent lamp provides direct lighting over the work area
• Two-piece access shield features adjustable friction hinges for safe positioning
• Offered in a variety of sizes and materials to meet application specific requirements
• Standard system voltages include 120VAC 50Hz and 240VAC 50/60Hz
• Available in a variety of sizes and materials, including static dissipative PVC for added contamination control and chemical resistance

The Purge™ Laminar Flow Hood is a complete system intended to meet the most demanding applications. An ergonomically sloped front access area affords the operator more comfort and better reach into the clean air hoods interior, while the integrated white polypropylene base provides a clean and chemical resistance work surface in which to conduct the intended procedures. The polypropylene base also increases the strength and integrity of the hoods structural body, allowing convenient portability for placement on any available table or counter top. A fluorescent lamp provides for general task lighting and an ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) source for disinfecting micro-organisms, which when coupled with the systems HEPA filtration system, can be purged from the work environment. The stainless steel control box, which is also a code compliant electrical box, interfaces the clean air hood components into a stand-alone system with UV light system controls.

Standard Laminar Flow Clean Air Hood Material Options:

1. Acrylic (cast) – Ideal for general purpose processing. Provides some chemical resistance
2. Polycarbonate – High impact resistance makes this material ideal for thermal stress applications. Provides good chemical resistance
3. Polypropylene – Provides the best chemical resistance
4. Non-Dissipative PVC – Provides excellent chemical resistance
5. Static Dissipative PVC – Provides excellent chemical resistance. Also helps to reduce contamination build-up around and within the glove box by neutralizing
   static charges that attracts air borne particulate

Additional product information:

1. Small and medium clean air hoods feature a solid-state speed controller and large hoods feature a three-speed switch (low-med-high)
2. Access shields are made from the same material as the hood itself with exception to the polypropylene hood, which features a non-dissipative PVC access shield
