Fume cupboards provide safe working conditions for operator and other personnel through means of capturing, diluting and exhausting fumes and noxious gasses from the work zone. Various sizes and accessories are available to suit specific applications.
All AES fume cupboards are manufactured in Australia to suit performance and safety requirements of AS 2243.8 for general fume cupboards and 2243.9 for recirculating fume cupboards.
Where a higher degree of protection is required than fume cupboards please refer to the AES range of Laminar Flow Cabinets, Biological or Cytotoxic Drug Safety Cabinets.
HWS (Horizontal-flow) Series cabinets are designed to provide a high degree of protection for process products and apparatus in laboratory and production facilities. Many critical applications in the medical, pharmaceutical, scientific and electronics fields demand an ultra-clean work environment that is free from biological and particulate contamination.
VWS (Verticalflow) Series cabinets are designed to provide a high degree of protection for process products and apparatus in laboratory and production facilities. Many critical applications in the medical, pharmaceutical, scientific and electronics fields demand an ultra-clean work environment that is free from biological and particulate contamination.
The Maxi Safe booth provides a clean, constant, turbulence-free laminar air flow from overhead into the work zone. This is achieved by pressuring the plenum chamber which then directs ambient air through the HEPA filters and creates the laminar flow air stream.
Cytotoxic drug safety cabinets are defined as the primary barrier against exposure to aerosols that are produced in the preparation, manipulation and dispensing of cytotoxic drugs. Many of these drugs are known to be mutagens, and are suspected of being carcinogens and teratogens. These effects are insidious and may not manifest themselves for some years.
