Products
Vented balance (powder weighing) enclosures
Enclosures designed to provide vibration-free, low-turbulence environments for precision balances with integrated or remote HEPA filtration and safe-change filter housings.
Instrument enclosures and LEV systems
Acrylic and stainless enclosures and local exhaust ventilation systems for enclosing laboratory instruments and processes (particle sizers, freeze dryers, TGA, sieving).
Gloveboxes and isolators
Sealed glovebox and isolator systems for powder handling with multiple glove ports, pressure control, interlocked doors and stainless-steel construction for decontamination.
Climate-controlled enclosures
Enclosures that maintain selectable temperature and humidity profiles for handling moisture-sensitive pharmaceutical compounds and inhalation testing.
Powder vacuum systems and cyclone assemblies
Vacuum and cyclone systems sized for laboratory handling of potent powders to assist containment and sample transfer.
Static control (ionizing bars)
Ionizing bar systems for static control in powder-handling environments to improve powder flow and reduce particle adherence.
