Safety Weighing Cabinet SWC
Safe Weighing of Toxic and Powdery Substances
For researchers and laboratory technicians,
working with poisonous or highly reactive
substances does pose a considerable risk.
Especially when weighing, the smallest
sample amounts have a high risk potential.
Health and safety are top priorities
In order to protect the health of laboratory
personnel, proper safety measures must be
taken when weighing dangerous powdered
substances.
The Sartorius Safety Weighing Cabinet
SWC offers many significant design advan-
tages over a regular laboratory hood:
It creates a contained area around the
laboratory balance which prevents any air
or finely powdered particulates from
escaping into the operating personnel’s
work area. At the same time, the constant
inlet air velocity and the special cabinet
construction both keep the air current
practically turbulence-free, and, as a result,
ensure consistent and repeatable weighing
results.
Single-source equipment
The balance and weighing cabinet are per-
fectly matched to each other. With its SWC
Safety Weighing Cabinet, Sartorius has suc-
ceeded in uniting two otherwise contradic-
tory requirements: maximum personnel
protection and reliable weighing results.
The Safety Weighing Cabinets are available
in four different sizes for special applica-
tions, such as using a second laboratory
balance in the cabinet or for unusually
high structures.
Each of the four basic models consists of:
Safety Weighing Cabinet with a separate
HEPA filter unit, data-logging alarm, light-
ing unit, waste disposal system (on one
side), airflow smoke test kit and anti-static
cleaning wipes.
Sartorius SWC Safety Weighing Cabinets
comply with the requirements of EN14175.
