Turbulent Flow Aseptic Isolator™ (TFAI™)
The Esco Turbulent Flow Aseptic Isolator (TFAI) is a free-standing isolator complying with the most stringent regulatory requirements. The isolator has an automated airflow and pressure control to assure a safe, clean, and microbial-free environment in performing testing and other processes requiring the same environmental parameters. The TFAI’s ability to meet turbulent grade A conditions provide a high degree of containment separation for product, operator, and environment.
An improved mini-pleat separation technique maximizes filter surface area, improves efficiency, and extends filter life over conventional separation
Utilizes a Bag-in, Bag-out Filter to safely remove the filter after bio-decontamination. It provides protection against exposure to hazardous materials for the maintenance personnel and the environment
The electromagnetic interlocking door mechanism with time delayed ingress/egress control ensures work zone remains sterile during transfer of items
Optional chemical dunk tanks for BSL 3&4 applications and sharps disposal system enables smoother workflow and minimizes transfers to enhance personnel protection and sterility
Improved safe-change cuff rings enable glove change with zero risk of contamination.
Rapid Transfer Ports provide a safe and easy method for moving specimens, materials, supplies and waste without breaking containment
The Esco Turbulent Flow Aseptic (Grade A) Isolator is a freestanding Isolator that has a very low leakage rate, complying with the most stringent leakage criteria as stated in ISO 14644-7.
The isolator can be supplied with or without a pass-through chamber. It has an automated airflow and pressure control to assure a clean and microbial-free environment for sterility testing.
The isolator’s ability to meet Turbulent Grade A conditions and provide a high degree of containment separation for product, operator, and environment is unquestionable.
