Protection for Your Sensitive Compounds

Bigneat has extended its variety of products and added Controlled Atmosphere Storage (CAS) Cupboards to its range of safety cabinets.

For many years Bigneat has been producing ventilated carbon filtration cabinets which are typically used for storage of bottles of chemicals. The ventilation provided removes vapours from drips remaining on the bottles and the carbon filter absorbs potentially hazardous chemicals and odours. Bigneats cupboards enable laboratory staff to store compounds conveniently and safely, close at hand within the laboratory.

This new CAS cupboard opens up the uses for localised storage. With a dry ­nitrogen gas environment, dry specimens and moisture sensitive compounds can also be stored locally. This moisture-free environment is maintained using dry ­nitrogen gas and sensors monitor the need for gas flow within the cabinet.

The cupboard shown is a nitrogen storage system with 100% seal integrity, which provides a dry, oxygen-free atmosphere. Incorporated within the cabinet is carbon filtration for the removal of DMSO vapours or other residual solvent vapours.
