Nano Enclosures, Xpert

Cole-Parmer offers Xpert® Nano Enclosures that are specifically designed for nanoparticle research and manipulation. The XPert Nano is the first and only enclosure to be validated for nanomaterial containment. Specific features of the XPert Nano lend themselves to a variety of uses. The XPert Nano enclosures feature a space-saving design—no separate filtered exhauster is required and runs with low decibel-level operation. It provides user protection during nanoparticle manipulation and dry powder chemical handling. It functions as a Class I enclosure: room air enters the front of the enclosure and passes through a filter prior to exhausting back to the room. By their nature, nano particles are small and prone to static charge. Three features address these nano characteristics: ULPA filter, stainless steel liner and ionizer. The ULPA filter is capable of capturing and containing very small particulates, 0.12 µm or larger, at 99.999% efficiency and returns clean air to laboratory. The interior sides, baffle, air foil and integral work surface are all 304 stainless steel. Stainless steel was chosen for its inherent ability to dissipate static charge. Nanoparticles are less likely to cling to its surface making it easy to clean. An optional built-in ionizer neutralizes static charge on interior surfaces by emitting ions into the airstream, which helps reduce weighing errors and attraction of particles to the enclosure surfaces. The hood has a pre-wired fluorescent lamp and switches for blower and light. The front sash is 1/4" (0.6 cm) thick tempered safety glass. The ergonomic angled and hinged sash pivots upward, locks in the “up” position, and has a wiping seal to contain contaminants. The 5' and 6' models incorporate an external gas-assist lift. The company also offers Nitrile Gloves, Furnaces, Polystat Laboratory Baths and Circulators, Rotary Vane Vacuum Pump, Visible Spectrophotometer, Benchtop NMR Spectrometer, picoSpin, Metering Pumps, etc.
