After exhibiting the PCI (Portable Compliant Isolator - Portable Glove Box) at The 10th Annual BOPA Symposium held at the SECC, Glasgow, much interest was shown in the PCI by many delegates. Units are now being used throughout the NHS, BUPA and the MoD. The Portable Glove Box is being used for many different applications both nationally and internationally. Please contact Sales on 01706 835 135 or sales@quantumairtech.com for further information. Production of the PCI is now continuous to ensure units are always available ex-stock.

Clean air and containment are the prime objectives that Quantum strives for in award winning equipment designs serving the key market areas of biotechnology, healthcare and defence.

Containment products for a variety of industries have earned Quantum an enviable reputation. This reputation has been built with a proven ability to design, construct & maintain containment products and offer a total one stop solution, with validation carried out in compliance with all relevant International & British Standards for clean air and containment.

Clean air and containment achievements of this enthusiastic team are the World’s largest aseptic processing isolator, the World’s most advanced Cat 4 high containment cabinet line, and a Millennium Product award for an innovative hospital microenvironment. Most recently, the Company has been developing and supplying clean air and containment technologies and products for Bio-chemical Defence, Allergen Control, Healthcare Sector and Laboratories. Quantum Air Technology has also developed data communication equipment for laboratories to allow different devices to communicate to a central system for data logging and alarm monitoring.

Quantum Air Technology utilises analytical aerodynamic techniques to ensure air filtration performance specifications of all clean air and containment designs can be accurately predicted and achieved. A modular system of micro-processor based control circuitry ensures development time is short, yet instrumentation and control standards are high. The following projects are a small selection of those that have benefited from the clean air and containment expertise available:

• Design of defence vehicle mounted Microbiological Safety Cabinet Class 3 containment system for Graseby Dynamics Ltd – now entering service with British Army.
• Commissioning supervision of Cat 4 high containment glove box line at Dstl, Porton Down.
