Gelaire CytoFAST Cytotoxic Drug Safety Cabinet
Description
The Gelaire CytoFAST Cytotoxic Biosafety Cabinet (BSC) is designed to safely handle hazardous drugs, particularly chemotherapeutic agents, by providing a controlled environment that prevents the release of cytotoxic aerosols or particles, ensuring protection for both the operator and the surrounding environment.
Specifications
The Gelaire Cytotoxic biosafety cabinet allows researchers to safely prepare and administer chemotherapy drugs treatments to their cells. The cabinet is also used for researchers working with primary cell lines, blood work as well as when handling genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
