No matter how well you maintain your laboratory, your work area can be filled with air pollutants, dust particles, mould spores, dander, pollen, dust mites, cleaning chemicals, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), chemically active compounds (CACs), aldehydes, carcinogenic materials, carbon monoxide, viruses and bacteria.

Add to these culprits the chemical irritants lurking about in carpets from the front office, behind walls, from off-gassing in plastic materials, in the cleansers and waxes used to keep your laboratories and work surfaces clean. All these can have a direct influence on your results and on the health of laboratory workers.

The key to effective air filtration of damaging volatile air compounds is in the Clinipath Photo-Catalytic-Oxidation - the chemical compounds become highly reactive when exposed to a specific wavelength of ultraviolet light. The photo-catalyst attracts pollutants and converts them into benign compounds such as water (H20) and carbon dioxide (C02).

The front position Activated Carbon Filter, a specially formulated mixture of proprietary compounds selected to adsorb all VOCs and CACs in the laboratory environment. Scientifically formulated adsorption media (including zeolite and potassium permanganate) adsorbs automobile exhaust fumes, organic hydrocarbons, formaldehyde used in the laboratory and from particle boards used in construction, paints, solvents, chlorine, cleaning chemicals, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), chemically active compounds (CACs) and other harmful and carcinogenic agents.
