SKAN is expanding its expertise in standardised enclosures for robotic solutions

Enhanced safety for robotics applications in life sciences and pharmaceuticals

Robotics and automation solutions are increasingly streamlining processes in laboratories and cleanrooms.
The resulting increase in efficiency and more precise results are a major benefit; moreover, the workload on staff is reduced, allowing them to focus fully on their core tasks.

But what about the safety of users and products?

It is usually not possible to place a robot inside an existing safety cabinet or laminar flow cabinet, as these were built for a different purpose or simply do not offer enough space.
Our product range and expertise enable us to provide comprehensive advice on the correct enclosure for your application, regardless of whether protection for personnel, products or the user is required.

One example of this is the claire lh safety cabinet from Berner International:
This safety cabinet combines a high level of product protection with operator protection and is ideally suited for work involving microbiological agents. Thanks to its modern airflow design and quiet operation, it is also ideally suited for integration into automated processes – such as sample handling by robots.

In addition, the claire xl, also from Berner International, offers a high-performance solution for applications requiring a higher level of protection.
With its extra-wide working area, it is particularly suitable for larger automation equipment or more complex processes. Thanks to its innovative filter stages – including additional HEPA filters – the claire xl not only offers enhanced product protection but also reliably protects the operator and the surrounding environment. Its robust design, combined with intuitive operation, makes it the ideal choice for demanding life science environments.

Another key product in this regard is the Automation Enclosure from Caron:
This modular enclosure is specifically designed for use with automated equipment such as pipetting robots. It offers protection against chemical vapours, particles and biological agents – making it ideal for applications in sample preparation, assay development or screening. The enclosure can be flexibly adapted to support a wide variety of automation processes.

With these solutions, SKAN reinforces its expertise in combining safety technology and automation – a key prerequisite for modern, GMP-compliant processes in research, development and production.
