Configurable n-Lock air locks and decontamination hatches for biolabs, cleanrooms and high-security environments. Passive, active or with decon spray system, in AISI304 or AISI316 stainless steel.
The n-Lock air locks and decon hatches from Nordic Labtech deliver maximum protection and contamination control in biolabs, cleanrooms and high-security environments. An air lock forms the safe barrier through which materials are transferred between zones of different cleanliness classes, without breaching the separation between dirty and clean. This keeps unwanted micro-organisms and particles out of your controlled space and safeguards the integrity of your process.
The n-Lock range is fully configurable. You choose from passive models, active models or versions with a built-in decontamination spray system, heated or cooled. Passive pass boxes are a cost-effective solution for safely transferring materials between zones. Active models feature built-in HEPA filter cartridges for optimal air purification inside the air lock. The decon variants with spray system apply a decontamination agent directly inside the hatch, for the highest degree of contamination control in high-security facilities.
Depending on your requirements, you choose a smart, microprocessor-controlled interface for seamless operation and logging, or a robust and cost-effective interlock. The interlock ensures that only one side can be opened at a time, so the barrier between the dirty and clean side is never breached simultaneously. The tight doors with gasket and compression handle, optionally fitted with a bioseal, seal the air lock airtight and guarantee a safe barrier between your zones.
Every n-Lock pass box is built from hygienic and durable AISI304 stainless steel, with AISI316 optional for the most demanding applications. Large viewing doors allow easy monitoring and safe handling of the contents. The air locks are flexible to install and can be placed side by side for an efficient layout of your cleanroom wall. This makes n-Lock ideally suited to biotechnology, pharmaceuticals and high-security facilities. Poly Temp Scientific supplies every air lock and decontamination hatch to specification and on a quotation basis, including advice on configuration, installation and validation.

A passive pass box is a cost-effective solution for safely transferring materials between zones, without active air treatment. An active model has built-in HEPA filter cartridges for optimal air purification inside the air lock, providing a higher degree of contamination control.
The decon versions apply a decontamination agent directly inside the hatch through a built-in spray system, heated or cooled depending on the application. This achieves the highest degree of contamination control for high-security environments in biotechnology and pharmaceuticals.
The doors are interlocked, so only one side can be opened at a time. The tight doors with gasket and compression handle, optionally with a bioseal, seal the air lock airtight and form a safe barrier between the zones.
Every n-Lock air lock is made in hygienic and durable AISI304 stainless steel. For the most demanding applications, AISI316 is available as an option. Large viewing doors allow easy monitoring and safe handling of the contents.
Yes. The n-Lock range is fully configurable: you choose the model, the control and the material that match your requirements. The air locks are flexible to install and can be placed side by side. Poly Temp Scientific supplies every configuration to specification and on a quotation basis.
