Pass boxes & transfer hatches

Dunk tank transfer hatches

Pass-through chambers with a disinfectant basin, used in high-containment laboratories to move small acid- and alkali-resistant items through a liquid disinfection barrier between two rooms.

  • Liquid disinfection barrier between two rooms; no shared airflow through the hatch.
  • Double-door mechanical compression interlock excludes cross-contamination.
  • 304 or 316 stainless steel construction.

ABOUT THIS EQUIPMENT

Built around the requirement.

A dunk tank transfer hatch is a special form of pass box built around a basin of disinfectant. It is installed between two laboratories, or between a laboratory and a corridor, and items pass through the liquid barrier so the two rooms never share airflow. Double doors with a mechanical compression interlock keep the doors from opening together, preventing cross-contamination between the rooms. The basin disinfects small items that tolerate acid and alkali but cannot be sterilized by heat, pressure or UV, and an optional waste liquid system contains the used disinfectant. The chamber is made in 304 or 316 stainless steel. A low-level audible and visual alarm warns when the liquid level no longer covers the items, and emergency stop buttons on both sides protect operators. The unit works with phenolics, glutaraldehyde, quaternary ammonium compounds, hydrogen peroxide, alcohol, povidone-iodine and sodium hypochlorite, so the disinfection chemistry can follow the site's procedure.
