Single-Tier (EU) Schematic/Cut sheet (Model# 50603027121-230)

Single-tier flexible film (softwall) isolator systems include:

  • 1 ½" steel powder coated single shelf frame to prevent bending or warping.
  • HDPE tabletop with inserts for attaching isolator components.
  • Two-way locking wheels.
  • 5/8" PVC hold-down rod and SS clamps.
  • Blower and manifold system.
  • (1) 20 mil vinyl isolator.
  • (1) 20 mil urethane floor mat protector for inside the isolator.
  • (1) 3/8" closed cell foam pad for under isolator.
  • (1) complete 5" diameter inlet filter & (1) complete 5" diameter outlet filter (includes filter media, filter covers, rubber bands and clamps). Note: Lower inlet port and upper outlet port can easily handle warm, moist air. Combined with our standard 5" filters (vs. competitive 3" filters), this design provides greater airflow and improves the isolator's living environment (see graphic below).
  • (2) 2" neoprene stoppers.
  • (1) Transfer port (size & type to your specifications)*.
  • (1) Port to isolator neoprene band and clamp for sealing isolator to transfer port.
  • (1) each of inside and outside transfer port caps.
  • (1) Patent clamp for attaching outside port cap to transfer port.
  • (1) inside rubber band for attaching inside transfer port cap.
  • (1) pair of 12" diameter/8"glove port CBC glove extensions for better worker dexterity and less stress on isolator. (Note: Available without.)
  • (1) pair of 15 mil Hypalon/CSM Dry Box Gloves with glove ring kit for attaching gloves to isolator (other types available).
  • (2) 1" neoprene stoppers (other types available).
  • (2) internal racks that can accommodate up to nine mouse cages each (For isolators over 4' in length).
The CBC single-tier flexible film starter lab comes with all the lab hardware and accessories needed for researchers to install a fully functional germ free lab that offers complete environmental control for gnotobiotic, microbiome and other research using mice or other rodents.

CBC' Quality Control Tracking

Each CBC Flexible Film Canopy is Marked With its Own Unique Serial Number .

When you buy one of our gnotobiotic isolator systems or just a canopy, your canopy will be marked with its own unique serial number and manufacture date. Should you ever have a issue with the canopy (or need a replacement) CBC can trace your canopy back to the exact specs previously ordered. The same for replacement canopies for existing frames and filter systems.

  • Traceability.
  • Faster replacement.
  • More accurate replacement.

Each CBC Flexible Film Canopy is Marked With its Own Unique Serial Number and Manufacture Date to Ensure Traceability and Better Customer Support.

CBC glove extensions (optional) provide better worker dexterity and help reduce stress on isolators at a critical seam areas.  Read more

The CBC Difference

The CBC difference includes our original lap-seam sealing process and the use of 20 mil. polyurethane material that is almost indestructible and helps ensure against contamination due to accidental puncture or tear.

CBC uses a highly durable "lap seam" seal for the majority of our seams, and an even superior "cut/weld/strip seam" seal for high risk areas. Because your reputation, research or production should not risk being compromised!    (See, "Pull Test" and "Puncture Demonstration" videos below.)

Improved Living Environment

CBC's lower filter inlet port and upper filter outlet port can more efficiently remove warm, moist air. What's more, our 5" diameter design (vs. competitive 3" diameter) provides greater airflow. The larger filter diameter combined with CBC's unique "inlet/outlet" port design help improve the isolator's living environment.
