Built-in receiving station for the safe intake of rodents into an animal facility. BSC Class II, H14 filtration, interlocked airlock. In 1200, 1500 and 1800 mm.
The n-Safe receiving station from Nordic Labtech is a receiving station for the controlled intake of rodents into an animal facility. It is designed to be built into a wall, so that it forms the boundary between the non-clean delivery side and the clean side of your animal unit. The laminar airflow inside allows animals to be safely unpacked and transferred into clean cages before they enter the facility. This keeps unwanted micro-organisms out and protects the hygiene status of your colony.
The receiving station operates on the principle of a Class II biological safety cabinet. This means threefold protection: for the animal, for the operator and for the environment. Both the downflow and the exhaust air are filtered through H14 HEPA filters. The station runs on 100% exhaust with no internally recirculating air, which minimises cross-contamination between shipments. The vertical flow is 0.28 m/s and the inflow 0.45 m/s, values that fall well within the standard for microbiological safety cabinets.
The glass doors on both sides are interlocked: only one side can be opened at a time, so the barrier between dirty and clean is never breached. The external window is operated from the non-clean side, while both windows can also be controlled via the operating panel on the clean side. The dimmable LED lighting of 0 to 2000 Lux ensures optimal visibility when handling the animals, and the generous working height of 900 mm offers comfortable access.
The n-Safe receiving station is available in three widths: 1200, 1500 and 1800 mm, so the station suits your available wall opening and the throughput capacity of your animal facility. Each version combines a robust stainless steel interior with a low sound level of 53 to 55 dB, keeping working conditions pleasant. The downflow rate is 680 m3/h and the exhaust rate 780 m3/h, on a 220 to 240 V supply. Poly Temp Scientific supplies the station to specification and on a quotation basis, including advice on installation, connection and validation for your animal facility or quarantine environment.

It is a receiving station for the controlled intake of rodents into an animal facility. Within the laminar flow, animals are safely unpacked and transferred into clean cages before they enter the facility, so the hygiene status is preserved.
The station works on the BSC Class II principle with 100% exhaust and no internally recirculating air. Both the downflow and the exhaust air pass through H14 HEPA filters, providing protection for the animal, the operator and the environment.
The glass doors on both sides are coupled and can only be opened on one side at a time, so the barrier between the non-clean and clean side stays intact. The external window is operated from the non-clean side, both windows from the panel on the clean side.
The receiving station comes in three built-in widths: 1200, 1500 and 1800 mm, weighing 420, 455 and 495 kg respectively. The choice depends on your wall opening and the required throughput capacity.
Yes, the n-Safe receiving station is designed specifically for wall installation and forms the airlock between the delivery side and the clean side. Poly Temp Scientific advises on installation, connection and validation on a quotation basis.
