FAQ Customs
Why choose a custom biosafety cabinet instead of a standard one?
Standard cabinets often fail to accommodate large or complex automation equipment. Custom NuAire cabinets are engineered to fit specific workflows, ensuring optimal airflow performance and safety by eliminating turbulence caused by oversized or obstructive instruments.
How does NuAire ensure safety in custom designs?
NuAire custom cabinets comply with NSF/ANSI 49 standards for containment and safety. Designs undergo rigorous airflow validation, and custom units can include smoke visualization tests to ensure airflow is not compromised by the client's equipment.
Can custom biosafety cabinets fit through standard doorways?
Yes. NuAire's engineers take delivery and installation into account, designing modular or multi-piece cabinets that can fit through standard lab doorways, helping avoid costly construction changes.
What equipment can be integrated inside NuAire’s custom cabinets?
Custom cabinets can house:
- Robotic liquid handlers
- TPN compounders
- Cell culture systems
- High-throughput screening platforms
- Analytical instruments
Features like reinforced work surfaces, cord pass-throughs, and hinged windows ensure mechanical and functional compatibility.
What material options are available?
Work zones and exterior panels are typically constructed from Type 316 stainless steel for corrosion resistance and cleanability. Other material options may be used based on environmental or chemical compatibility.
Can NuAire perform airflow validation with the customer’s equipment installed?
Yes. NuAire offers airflow smoke visualization testing with your equipment in place. This helps in meeting field certification standards and assures proper airflow is maintained post-installation.
Are NuAire custom BSCs compliant with GMP and global standards?
NuAire custom biosafety cabinets are designed to meet the requirements of regulatory frameworks such as EU GMP Annex 1, ISO 14644, and NSF/ANSI 49, but NuAire does not hold these certifications on behalf of the end user or facility. It is the responsibility of the end user to validate the cabinet within their qualified environment to ensure full compliance. However, NuAire supports this process by providing documentation, airflow testing, and design features that facilitate regulatory alignment.
How does the custom design process work?
The process includes:
- NDA for proprietary info
- Engineering interviews
- Iterative CAD model development
- Customer sign-off
- Manufacturing in NuAire’s Minnesota facility
This collaborative method ensures the solution fits both workflow and compliance needs.
Can NuAire provide a custom solution for pharmaceutical or OEM partners?
Yes. NuAire designs OEM-compatible solutions tailored for seamless integration with existing systems, such as automated drug compounding or assay prep platforms.
What are the lead times for custom solutions?
Lead times vary based on project complexity but typically range from 10 to 26 weeks. NuAire’s custom product team helps expedite timelines through early collaboration and in-house engineering expertise.
