Mars Scanlaf Class II Cabinet - Delivery & Service
Nemesis Bioscience Ltd
“To complete the setup of our Containment level 2 lab, we needed to purchase a Class II cabinet. We asked the UK sales manager of GPE Scientific Ltd for a quote which included installation and the commissioning of the CL2 cabinet. We opted for a Mars Scanlaf Class II Cabinet sold and commissioned through GPE.
As we are located on the top floor of the building, GPE called to carry out a site inspection where we discussed the correct position of the cabinet for our lab and to work out the logistics for getting the equipment into the lab.
Detailed discussion with GPE were necessary with regard to access of the cabinet into the laboratory, as the cabinet dimensions were extremely close to the sizes of the available access portals (lift, doorways, stairwells etc). A YouTube video was made showing the available access routes, including the dimensions of all turning platforms (stairwells, corridors and doors), and detailed plans were made with GPE in the eventuality that doors and/or doorframes might need temporary removal. The practicality of making an accurate box model with the cabinet dimensions to check for access issues was also discussed. A ‘Stairwalker’ was brought by GPE on delivery day, in case the cabinet would not fit in the lift, so all eventualities were covered with regard to physically getting the cabinet up to our lab. The cabinet did actually fit in the lift as per given dimensions, with just 3mm of spare room into the lift door.
GPE kept us well informed throughout the process via email and on the phone with regards to delivery times, commission date etc. The delivery of the unit and commission date fell within those quoted when ordered.
We are very pleased with the Scanlaf cabinet. It is user friendly with clear instructions provided. The unit is very quiet and it can also run on reduced velocity when not in use without having to keep powering off and on. We have had the unit for over a year, we use it daily and have had no problems.”
