This Skan Skanair HFC-S is a piece of laboratory equipment — specifically a safety workbench, sometimes referred to as a laminar flow cabinet — designed to create and maintain a sterile, particle-free working environment. Skan is a Swiss manufacturer specialising in containment and clean-air solutions for pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and research laboratories, and this unit reflects that background in both its construction and feature set.
The machine is a Skanair HFC-S 900, carrying serial number , built in Switzerland in 2009. It weighs 200 kg and operates on a single-phase 230 V AC supply at 50 Hz, drawing just 0.25 kW, making it economical to run. The electrical supply configuration is 1N/PE AC, suitable for standard European laboratory installations.
The core function of the workbench is vertically guided laminar flow, which directs filtered air downward across the work surface to prevent contamination from particles, aerosols, or biological agents. Air purity is maintained by an integrated HEPA filter, which captures fine particulate matter and delivers a clean working atmosphere meeting cleanroom standards. The system is governed by a SKANCONTROL SKC4 control unit, which provides monitoring and control of filter status (displayed as OP FILTER), airflow, power supply (POWER), and alarm and reset functions. The working area is enclosed by a transparent flap, supporting visibility while maintaining the protective environment.
This used unit is located in Germany and is offered at $1,200. It is presented as complete with the components visible in the seller's photographs.
