Heraguard HPH12: Clean Bench for Laboratory Environments
The Heraguard HPH12, developed by Heraeus, is a state-of-the-art safety cabinet engineered to provide optimal protection and cleanliness in laboratories. Designed with user safety and performance in mind, the HPH12 is equipped with advanced air filtration technology and durable construction, making it an ideal solution for various applications, including pharmaceutical research, microbiology, and biotechnology.
The Heraguard HPH12 features an innovative high-performance suspended particle filter (HOSCH) that ensures the highest level of air purity. With a separation level of 99.999% for particles as small as 0.3 micrometers, this cabinet meets rigorous standards such as EN1822 H14 and Eurovent 4/4 EU14, which classify it as an ULPA (Ultra Low Penetration Air) filter. This outstanding filtration efficiency protects both the operator and the environment from harmful airborne contaminants, providing an added layer of safety for sensitive processes.
The cabinet’s design includes an intake protector with a coarse-medium dust filter rated as G3 according to the EN779 standard, further ensuring that larger particles and contaminants are effectively trapped before reaching the primary filter. This multi-stage filtration system guarantees a consistent supply of clean air within the work area, reducing the risk of cross-contamination and ensuring a safe work environment.
Measuring 1300 mm in width, 1170 mm in height, and 800 mm in depth externally, the Heraguard HPH12 fits conveniently into standard laboratory settings. The spacious internal test chamber, measuring 1220 mm in width, 650 mm in height, and 580 mm in depth, offers ample space for various laboratory tasks while maintaining a minimal footprint. Additionally, the cabinet is designed to maintain a minimum distance of approximately 150 mm from the ceiling to ensure proper ventilation and airflow.
The Heraguard HPH12 operates efficiently under a range of environmental conditions, with an operational temperature range of +5°C to +40°C and a relative humidity of up to 90%. For storage, the unit can withstand temperatures from -20°C to +60°C and relative humidity of 70%. These specifications make it suitable for a variety of laboratory conditions, ensuring reliability and consistent performance.
The cabinet is built to meet high safety standards, featuring a protection class of IP20 and adhering to electrical safety guidelines with a grounding connection. It operates on a 230V power supply with a reference frequency of 50 Hz, consuming 0.75 kW of power and drawing a current of 3.3 A. This efficient power usage ensures that the Heraguard HPH12 can run continuously without excessive energy consumption.
In terms of usability, the Heraguard HPH12 is designed to be user-friendly, with intuitive controls and easy maintenance. The cabinet's design minimizes vibration and noise, creating a comfortable work environment for laboratory personnel. Its robust construction and reliable grounding method further enhance safety during operation.
The Heraguard HPH12 is a versatile and dependable choice for laboratories seeking a high-quality safety cabinet that meets strict contamination control requirements. Its advanced filtration capabilities, durable design, and efficient performance make it an essential tool for maintaining a controlled and safe working environment.
