Labconco Corporation, Kansas City, Missouri, presents the NEW Protector® Work Stations designed specifically for pathologists and histotechnologists. These enclosures rely on patented containment-enhancing features and face velocities from 60 to 100 fpm to rid the laboratory of solvent vapors associated with gross sectioning, trimming, coverslipping and staining.

Protector Work Stations are available in two configurations:

  • First configuration models designed for connection to a remote blower, or to the FilterMate™ Portable Exhauster, which returns filtered air to the laboratory. FilterMate Portable Exhauster and Filters are sold separately.
  • Second configuration is if ducting to the outside is not feasible, Protector Work Stations with built-in blowers are available and require two carbon filters (sold separately) – Organic, Formaldehyde and Ammonia, when used in any combination, keep concentrations of chemicals below OSHA-recommended time-weighted average levels.

Features include an ergonomic 20º angled sash, an exclusive upper dilution air supply which introduces room air at the top of the sash to dilute contaminants, side-entry air foils, patented Clean-Sweep™ air foil,
and patented Type 304 stainless steel rear baffle with zones of
perforation to promote horizontal laminar airflow and maximize containment.
