Streamline® Containment Isolator – Class III

The Streamline® Containment Isolator Class III (SCI Class III) configuration solely operates in a negative pressure, with its on-board fan providing -37 Pa to -125 Pa (max) in the process chamber and -25 Pa to -75 Pa (max) in the pass-through chamber. “To comply fully with biosafety standards, the unit must be ducted to the building exhaust to meet negative pressure BSL-III requirements.”

It provides an ISO Class 5 unidirectional total exhaust airflow, ensuring the sterility of the work zone during the whole manufacturing process. It is also equipped with double exhaust HEPA filters via Bag-In, Bag-Out (BIBO) system to prevent untoward exposure during filter change procedures.

Features

  • ULPA filters (as per IEST-RP-CC001.3 and HEPA (H14) filter as per EN 1822) with a typical efficiency of >99.995% at 0.1 to 0.3 microns, providing ISO Class 3 air cleanliness as per ISO 14644-1
  • FDA-grade pressure-tight static seals
  • Sentinel™ Gold microprocessor controller supervises all functions and monitors airflow and pressure in real-time
  • Robust dual-wall construction. Unique Esco Dynamic Chamber™ plenum surrounds filter seals with negative pressure
  • Safe-change cuff rings permit hypalon sleeve changes with zero risk of work zone or environment contamination

Principle

Total Exhaust

  • Ambient air is pulled through the inlet pre-filter and main filter via the main fans at the top of the isolator. This creates positive pressure on the plenum which provides the downflow of air with a velocity of 0.40 m/s ± 20%.
    • The pre-filter extends the life of the filters by trapping larger particulates that can easily clog the main filters
  • This downflow supply then provides an ISO Class 5 environment and unidirectional airflow inside the isolator; thus, protecting the materials inside the main chamber and pass-through.
  • Air from the work zone and pass-through is then quickly purged by the fans to keep the area clean. The purge is completely exhausted through HEPA filters as well; ensuring that only clean air is exhausted back to the environment.
