Viva® Bedding Disposal Workstation

Cage cleaning and bedding disposal tasks are now simpler, safer and more productive with the Viva® Bedding Disposal Workstation. This workstation protects animal researchers and the laboratory environment from allergens during routine bedding disposal procedures.

The Viva® Bedding Disposal Workstation draws in laboratory air through a spacious work access opening which accomodates both small and large animal cages. The combination of aerodynamic intake surfaces and airflow baffles in the work zone create the safest conditions for operator safety. All intake air is triple filtered before discharge to the laboratory. Filtration elements include a pre-filter, ULPA filter and activated carbon filter to remove particulates (allergens) and gaseous contaminants (odors).

This workstation is equipped with a integral waste container accessible through a disposal chute on the work surface. The large waste container eliminates frequent disposal and improves productivity. The entire assembly is mounted on casters for easily mobility.

The Viva® Bedding Disposal Workstation is a premium product specifically designed for the animal research laboratory, and incorporates safety features developed by Esco through decades of experience with clean air and containment equipment technologies.

Reinforced Safety

• Minipleat separatorless U15 ULPA filter with a typical efficiency of 99.9997% at MPPS, 99.9998% at both 0.3 and 0.12 microns provide the best operator / environmental protection in the world; typical main ULPA filter lifespan is more than 3 years depending on operating conditions and the total number of hours in usage per day.
  
  
• Disposable and non-washable pre-filter, installed behind the filter diffuser, helps remove large dust particles, thus extending the life of the main ULPA filter. Carbon filter at exhaust removes odours.
  
  
• Activated carbon filter, installed for odor removal, Esco offer different types of options for different purposes like Option B for acid filter and Option F for Aldehyde filter. Esco offer more option range. Please refer to the nearest distributors for more information
  
  
• Additional 2-piece removable perforated filter diffuser protects the filter against accidental damage. The 2-piece design facilitates easy removal and cleaning of the diffusers.

Control Features

• Esco Sentinel™ Microprocessor Cabinet Control System allows the user to easily access all cabinet functions. The control system monitors and displays cabinet airflow constantly on the control LCD screen, prompting the user with audible and visual alarms in case of any unsafe condition.
  
  
• Fail-safe system ensures that in case of airflow failure, the cabinet automatically shuts down to ensure safety to the user and the environment.
  
  
• True airflow velocity (both for downflow and inflow velocity) sensing technology, with temperature compensation for improved sensor accuracy.
  
  
• Audible and visual alarms for low airflow, unsafe sash positions.
  
  
• Automatic warm-up cycle is enabled upon turning on the cabinet, ensuring all contaminants are purged from the cabinet workzone before the operator can use the cabinet. All menu functions are inactive during this period. Automatic post-purge cycle is also enabled at shutdown, ensuring all residue contaminants are purged out of the workzone before deactivation.
  
  
• Pressure Sensor, the end user will know exact current pressure reading shown on the microprocessor
  
  
• An admin PIN can be set by the laboratory supervisor to restrict unauthorized access to all menu functions.
