UNIT SPECIFICATIONS SHEET

LFGI-3USP LAMINAR FLOW GLOVEBOX / ISOLATOR

SECTION I. PERFORMANCE DATA

The Laminar Flow Glovebox/Isolator provides the ultimate in both product and operator

protection. The LFGI functions as a Glovebox while operating under negative pressure to

meet NIOSH recommendations and as an Isolator under positive pressure to meet USP

<797> regulations. HEPA filtered unidirectional (laminar) air bathes the work area to

protect the product from contamination and removes any particulate generated by sample

manipulation. The operator is provided a complete barrier from materials being

manipulated in the work area. The LFGI Series of barrier isolators meet or exceed ISO

14644-1 Class 5 air quality. Each LFGI, before shipping, undergoes rigorous physical testing

to assure the unit meets performance requirements as validated. It is required that

independent certification be performed before use.

SECTION II. EQUIPMENT SPECIFICATIONS

Construction-

-Overall Dimensions: 54” W (39” W at base) x 32” D x 80” H

-Work Area Dimensions: 34 ½“ W x 24 ½” D x 29” H

-Designed to fit through standard door openings and elevators.

-All stainless steel construction both inside and out with a pharmaceutical grade finish.

-316L Stainless steel work trays slide over one another and are removable to facilitate easy clean

up under the work deck.

-All viewing panels are stainless steel framed Acrylic

-Front viewing panel is top hinged and self supporting for easy access to the work area for

cleaning and equipment ingress.

-All filter diffuser / guard panels are removable for easy cleaning.

-Straight sides and back maximize work area to accommodate the many types and shapes of

pharmacy equipment and compounders.

-All corners in work area, antechamber and work surface are easily reached and cleaned.

Antechamber-

-Sealed two-door airlock (16” W x 13 ½” D x 14 ¼” H) maintains complete environmental

separation between work area and ambient conditions.

-HEPA filtered purge of trapped airlock air eliminates cross contamination between the

work area and the room during both material ingress and egress.

Waste Removal-

-Trash tube is a 4” diameter tube, flanged for waste bag/container connection and provided

with an easily removable seal/stopper to maintain work area containment. (Stainless trash can is

available)

-Sharps tube is a straight 2 ½” diameter tube to facilitate quick drop of the largest syringes and

provided with an easily removable seal/stopper to maintain work area containment.
