Introduction

In the realm of biosafety, particularly in BSL-3 and BSL-3E laboratories, the need for stringent sterilization and transfer protocols is paramount. The QUALIA Biosafety Dunk Tank, developed by QUALIA, is a cutting-edge solution designed to address these needs. Here, we delve into the key features and applications of this innovative product.

Product Features (PF)

Material and Design

• The Biosafety Dunk Tank is fully encased in 304 stainless steel, providing a flat surface with no crevices for easy cleaning and straightforward installation.

Concealed Components

• All surface conduits and additional components are concealed within the tank to maintain a clean aesthetic and eliminate hard-to-reach areas. This design prevents cable and connector degradation due to prolonged exposure to sterilization processes.

Maintenance Access

• A maintenance access point is reserved on one side of the equipment, situated outside of protective zones with no maintenance ports within. The maintenance port is strategically located on the front panel for low spatial impact during on-site installation.

Liquid Management

• The device comes equipped with options for liquid level sensors or visual liquid level gauges. It is designed with ports for disinfectant liquid entry and exit, enabling automated discharge and management of high liquid levels.

Safety Interlocks

• Electronic interlocks on both sides minimize risks associated with operational errors. The internal barrier design ensures that the disinfectant remains separate on both sides, preventing cross-communication even at low liquid levels.

Key Applications

Transfer of Sensitive Items

• The Biosafety Dunk Tank is primarily used for transferring items that cannot be sterilized by high-temperature, high-pressure, or irradiation methods but are resistant to acids and alkalis. This ensures that sensitive equipment or materials can be safely transferred without risking the integrity of the biologically secure environment.

Compliance with BSL-3 and BSL-3E Standards

• The tank can be embedded into the walls of BSL-3 and BSL-3E laboratories, complete with external sealing facilities, ensuring compliance with stringent biosafety standards.

Summary of Key Features

Conclusion

The QUALIA Biosafety Dunk Tank is a robust and highly specialized tool for ensuring the safe transfer of sensitive items in high-biosafety environments. With its advanced features and meticulous design, it stands as a vital component in maintaining the integrity of BSL-3 and BSL-3E laboratories. Whether you are dealing with sensitive equipment or materials that require precise sterilization protocols, the QUALIA Biosafety Dunk Tank is an indispensable asset.
