Don Whitley Scientific Whitley A35 HEPA Workstation

The Whitley A35 HEPA Workstation is an anaerobic workstation with an internal HEPA filtration system. The product provides conditions for the processing, incubation and examination of samples without exposure to atmospheric oxygen. It also provides the ability to manipulate samples in a sustainable environment where parameters can be altered to create the required conditions.

As well as being able to accommodate up to 600 x 90 mm petri dishes, the workstation is fitted with the Whitley Internal HEPA Filtration System. All the atmosphere passes through the filter every 4 s, which ensures the chamber environment is cleaned quickly. Placing the filters inside the workstation prevents the filter becoming saturated with moisture and rendered ineffective. Levels of atmospheric cleanliness inside the workstation exceed the requirements of ISO 14644 Class 3.

By locating the filters inside the workstation, unnecessary condensation is prevented. The filters have been specifically tailored to suit the workstation and the internal atmosphere is circulated continuously, contributing to even temperature distribution and ensuring any internal particulates will be in motion before capture by the filter.

The product is fitted with oval, sleeved ports and a removable front to facilitate thorough cleaning, easy replacement of the HEPA filter and the transfer of bulk samples and larger pieces of equipment for use in the workstation.
