Bigneat Containment Technology

Bigneat manufactures clean air and hazard containment equipment for Laboratories and Industry including; Ductless Fume Cabinets, Fume & Dust Containment Systems, Powder Handling/Weighing Cabinets, Microbiological Safety Cabinets, PCR, Chemical Storage Systems, and Robotic & Analytical System Enclosures.

BioSero is authorized distributor for Bigneat in North America. BioSero specializes in robotic systems and workcells for the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry and works with Bigneat to develop custom enclosures for these systems. Like all containment systems, the robotic enclosures can be configured for 3 types of protection:

• Operator Protection using recirculatory filtration technology. This is for systems that are using hazardous chemicals and organics, such as chemistry and synthesis platforms; also systems using radioactivity.
• Product Protection using a positive-pressure clean air system. This is for useful for cell-based assay systems or other applications where exposure to airborne contaminants and dust can cause problems with the assay or detection.
• Operator and Product Protection using Class II principles. These are used for sensitive assays that involve viruses or other potential infectious agents.

Robotics containment can be configured for a single liquid handling platform, a larger automated workcell with one or more robotic arms, or even large-scale industrial automated systems. The enclosures can be installed on top of currently-existing benchtops, or can be built as floor-standing or wheeled modules, or can even be built as entire clean rooms.

Biosero also offers Bigneat's full product line of high-quality enclosures and containment systems. These are some of the wide variety of systems offered by Bigneat:

• Chemcap™ Ductless Fume Cabinets. These fume cabinets use Bigneat's Chemcap filtration system for optimal safety and cost effectiveness.
• PCR Workstation and UV Sterilization Cabinets. UV sterilization from 5 to 30 minutes is used to sterilize the contents. The PCR workstations include additional protection for the contents with a positive pressure sterile air environment.
• Powder Weighing and Handling Cabinets. Ducted or recirculatory cabinets for operator safety when handling powders.
• Dust and Fume Containment Systems. Standalone filtration systems using high-performance Bigneat filtration technology for removal of air and dust in the entire room.
• Biohazard Containment. Class II type enclosures for protection of both the operator and the contents.
• Controlled Environment Rooms. Complete rooms for climatic and environmental control.
• Chemcap Chemical Storage Systems. Cost-effective recirculatory filtration systems for hazardous chemical storage.
• Horizontal Flow Workstations. Suitable for use when working with hazardous chemicals and fume. Air s extracted through rear baffles and drawn horizontally across the working surface.
• Education Cabinets. Recirculatory filtration fume cabinets designed for teaching practical chemistry with the best possible performance and protection.
• Microbiology Safety Cabinets. A new rage of competitively priced Microbiological Class II safety cabinets for total protection of the product and the operator.
• Clean Air Cabinets. Competitively-priced vertical and horizontal laminar flow cabinets.
• Glove Boxes. Biohazard "mail box" environment specially designed for opening envelopes or packages.
