The custom aluminum extrusion enclosure from Flow Sciences is designed specifically to house the MTS C42 material tester, ensuring personnel protection during material testing applications involving high-potency active pharmaceutical ingredients (HPAPIs). With internal dimensions of 46.75″ W x 42″ D x 56″ T, this enclosure is built to meet the stringent containment and environmental control requirements of such sensitive operations. It integrates a black lab-grade phenolic dished base, facilitating easy cleaning and chemical resistance.
Purpose and Process: This enclosure is tailored for tasks involving the manipulation and containment of HPAPIs during material testing, offering protection to both the operator and the surrounding environment. The included bag-in/bag-out systems allow for the safe and straightforward replacement of HEPA filters, crucial in maintaining the required containment levels.
Customer Equipment: The enclosure is designed to accommodate the MTS C42 material tester, ensuring seamless integration and operation within the containment area. It includes ports for equipment connections and mounting brackets for additional accessories.
Performance: The enclosure achieves performance to the microgram per cubic meter (µg/m³) level, ensuring minimal exposure to HPAPI particles during operations. The top mount fan and H-14 compliant HEPA filters work in conjunction to maintain a high level of air cleanliness and containment.
