Analytical Science and Technologies Group (ASTG) leads the way in advancing research and development within the field of analytical science.
An unwavering pursuit of innovation drives ASTG to explore new technologies that expand the limits of what is possible. One such transformative innovation, which promises to enhance precision and safety in laboratory environments, is its line of laser and toxic gas cabinets.
The handling of toxic gases poses significant challenges due to their inherent hazards. Gases such as chlorine (Cl2) and fluorine (F2) present serious health risks if not managed appropriately.
The main challenges related to the handling of these gases include:
- Safety Concerns: ASTG prioritizes safety through cutting-edge enclosures equipped with toxic gas detectors that constantly monitor the cabinet atmosphere.
- Corrosion Resistance: Many toxic gases are corrosive, which can lead to material degradation over time.
- Ventilation and Airflow: Adequate ventilation is crucial to avoid the accumulation of high concentrations of toxic gas. ASTG employs toxic gas scrubbers to capture and purge gases, minimizing their release into the environment.
- Gas Monitoring and Detection: Early detection of leaks or releases of toxic gases is vital for preventing accidents and ensuring a safe working environment.
ASTG's laser and toxic gas cabinets are designed with a fan that draws air into the unit. They include an abatement system featuring dual scrubbers to efficiently absorb toxic gases.
A ventilation blower attached to the enclosure's exhaust port and paired with ASTG's purifier guarantees effective ductless gas management.
ASTG cabinets provide customizable gas management panel selections tailored to particular requirements. Front-mounted equipment allows for easy maintenance and a user-friendly manual valve system simplifies operation through easily accessible ports.
Optional enhancements include two-stage regulators for precise pressure control, an external purge system to prevent atmospheric gas release, external mounting for air and purge cylinders, vent gas scrubbers, and automated cylinder isolation valves.
In addition to mitigating risks, ASTG's laser and toxic gas cabinets improve operational efficiency while demonstrating our steadfast commitment to safety and compliance.
These measures safeguard employees and assets and uphold ASTG’s corporate reputation, fostering a culture of responsible stewardship.
