CBC offers a variety of flexible softwall, germ free, barrier and containment isolator systems to meet your research or production requirements.
The CBC difference starts at the bottom and works its way up. Two-way locking casters keep the table frame from moving while working with
the isolator. 1½" powder coated steel frame provides superior strength and durability. The 1½" steel frame prevents sagging keeping
the isolator level, and the powder coating provide superior protection against chipping or rust. The tabletop is made of ½" high-density
polyethylene with inserts preinstalled for all filters, port and hold-down loop clamps. Next comes the 3/8" closed cell foam pad that the
isolator sits on. Each system come comes with a blower and manifold with ball valve for adjusting the airflow levels. Our
standard 5" diameter filters provide greater airflow throughout the isolator. This increased airflow results in better living conditions for the
animals inside the isolator. An acrylic transfer port with a stainless steel base provides strength and more light for easier transfers.
Each isolator is made of either 20-mil vinyl or 20-mil urethane film. Each isolator includes the CBC Glove Extension. The glove extensions
help reduce the stress on the isolator and user. The glove extensions also increase the reach into the isolator. Inside the isolator includes
a durable 20 mil urethane pad and a two nine cage polypropylene cage racks.
Positive or Negative Pressure Isolator Units
SINGLE-TIER | DOUBLE-TIER
CBC flexible, softwall isolators provide the maximum in both product and personnel protection.
Positive Pressure Isolators: Product protection is provided using positive pressure isolators.
Positive pressure isolators create pressurized chambers in which the air pressure inside the chamber is greater than the ambient room pressure.
In the event of a breach, the air inside the isolator will be pushed out keeping contaminants out of the isolator, hence protecting the product
inside the unit.
Negative Pressure Isolators: Personnel protection and product containment is provided using negative pressure isolators. With negative pressure isolators the air is pulled out of the isolator, which
creates a lower pressure inside the chamber than the ambient room pressure. An external frame is needed to prevent the chamber from collapsing.
In the event of a breach, the surrounding room air is pulled into the isolator preventing any product inside the isolator from leaving the isolator (often called a containment isolator).
Standard Sizes:
* Come with 3" diameter filter stands.

Our flexible film (softwall) isolators are ideal for researchers that:
- need a uniform, controlled environment,
- work with gnotobiotic animals,
- use genetically engineered animals,
- use transgenic rodent models,
- use immunodeficient animals,
- use axenic animals,
- use defined flora rodents,
- want to breed their own germ-free nucleus colonies,
- need to colonize germfree rodents with a standardized microbiota,
- need product containment,
- others.
