CTS Containment systems are designed to provide a safe handling environment for users when working with potent powders.
Unlike a BioSafety Cabinet, the types of substances being handled inside CTS enclosures cannot be neutralised by carrying out a VHP decontamination.
For this reason, the CTS systems are designed to be easy to clean when in use and the HEPA filters are a safe change design.
The filter change activity is a short duration task that when carried out correctly will avoid any contamination to the engineer or the laboratory environment.
The extract and filtration design principle is the same for all CTS open face enclosure systems.
