Containment Ventilated Enclosures (Powder Weigh Hoods)
Clean, sterile powder handling calls for a workstation built specifically for it, and that’s what Germfree’s Powder Weigh Hoods deliver. Dust, particles, microorganisms: the airborne contaminants that degrade powder quality get filtered out before they reach the work area.
Within the line, the CSE Series of Compounding Safety Enclosures is built to protect the operator during weighing and transfer of non-sterile powders and compounds, with a configuration that supports USP <800> compliance for facilities handling hazardous drugs. Large hinged windows keep equipment access easy, moving pieces in and out of the main work area without a fight. Low-maintenance and cost-effective, the CSE gives you a reliable way to work safely with powders day to day.
Suitability
The Powder Weigh Hood works across a wide range of industries and facility types, built to meet each application’s own compounding needs.
