The Skan HFC-SH1200 is a laboratory safety cabinet — sometimes referred to as a laminar flow cabinet or clean bench — designed to provide a controlled, contamination-free working environment for professional laboratory applications. Skan AG, a Swiss manufacturer, specialises in containment and aseptic processing solutions for the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and life sciences industries, and their safety workbenches are recognised for their engineering quality and reliability.
This unit operates on horizontal laminar flow technology, drawing air through HEPA filtration to deliver a continuous stream of clean, particle-free air across the work surface. This arrangement protects both the product being handled and the surrounding environment from cross-contamination, making the cabinet well suited to sensitive research, development, and quality-control tasks. The working area is enclosed by a Plexiglas hood fitted with a viewing window and arm openings, providing visibility and access while maintaining the integrity of the controlled zone.
Control and monitoring are handled by the SKANCONTROL SKC4 electronic panel, which features an integrated alarm system covering filter status, airflow, and general operation. Fan speed is selectable between high and low settings, and adjustable lighting is included. An integrated hour meter records cumulative use, which in this case stands at just 1,376 hours — indicating very light utilisation relative to the typical service life of this class of equipment.
Electrically, the cabinet runs on a single-phase supply (1/N/PE AC, 230 V, 50 Hz) and draws a rated current of 1.89 A, with a maximum power consumption of 0.44 kW — a notably low figure for a cabinet of this type. The unit weighs between 170 and 230 kg. It is important to note that the cabinet is offered without its HEPA filter, which will need to be sourced and installed before the unit is put into service.
Manufactured in Switzerland and now located in Germany, this used 2010 cabinet is offered at USD 1,600, representing a cost-effective route to professional laminar flow capability for any laboratory setting.
