This Skan Skananar HFC-S is a laboratory safety workbench — sometimes referred to as a clean bench — designed for contamination-free handling of sensitive samples in controlled environments. Operating on the laminar flow principle, it directs a continuous, filtered stream of air across the work surface to protect both the product and the operator from particulate contamination. Skan AG is a Swiss specialist manufacturer with a long-standing focus on containment and cleanroom technology, serving the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and life sciences industries.
The unit is identified by serial number and was manufactured in 2005, originating from Switzerland and now located in Germany. It weighs 200 kg and connects to a single-phase supply (1N/PE AC) at 230 V, 50 Hz, drawing a modest 0.25 kW. The workbench incorporates HEPA filtration for high-grade air purity, though the current listing is offered without the filter installed.
Air quality and operational status are monitored through integrated visual and audible alarms covering airflow, filter condition, and power, giving operators immediate feedback on any deviation from safe working conditions. The unit is controlled via a SKANCONTROL SKC4 control panel, and a transparent front cover provides clear visibility into the work area while supporting ergonomic operation. The design is described as suitable for cleanroom applications and sterile working environments, making it applicable across pharmaceutical production, biotechnology research, and academic laboratory settings.
This is a used machine offered in its current condition as shown in the available photographs, at a listed price of $1,200.
