Microbiological Safety Cabinet Class III BHCS Cabinet The BHCS (Biohazard Containment
System) is a purpose designed Class III cabinet, to house
the IBDS (Integrated Biological Defence System) detection
equipment. This provides a mobile Biochemical analysis capability,
which is currently operational with the British Army. The
equipment samples outside air in environments where biochemical
agents may have been used. and is capable for the containment
of agents up to Hazard Group 4. See data sheet QAT/DEF/1001 for further details |

Air Guard System (Carbon and HEPA Fan Filter Unit) The Air-Guard System is a means of defence against biological and chemical attack. The Air-Guard uses an air management unit to draw in air from outside a designated room to pressurize it. This ensures there can be no inward leaks into the room from potentially contaminated air outside. The air as it passes through the unit is biologically and then chemically cleaned by special filters designed to defence standards. This means that the air entering the room to create the over-pressure will be free of any biological or chemical warfare agents. See data sheet QAT/DEF/1002 for further details |

Portable Glove Box Class III Mail Guard System This portable glove box Class III typically named as the Mail-Guard is a totally enclosed glove box for the safe handling of suspect mail and packages.
Purpose designed to meet all international standards for
microbiological safety cabinets and isolators; the unit
offers complete protection from any surface or airborne
contaminants, whether microbial or toxic. Unlike an open
fronted safety cabinet, the Mail-Guard is a barrier system
that does not rely on airflow to provide protection. This
provides a greater level of safety that can be reliably
used up to the most hazardous category (CAT 4) of pathogen.

| AC and NBC Control Panel Purpose designed control panel to control Air Conditioning (AC) and Nuclear, Biological and Chemical (NBC) fan/filter units that are currently fitted into military vehicles such as Challenger 2 Tanks. The NBC system takes air from outside the vehicle, filters it and allows the vehicle to operate at over-pressure via a CVR pressure relief valve. The AC system takes air from within the vehicle, cools it via a cooling coil, and then recirculates it back to the crew compartment. See data sheet QAT/DEF/1004 for further details |
