Product Description The Opentrons HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) module is a positive pressure clean air system liquid handling robot for use with the Opentrons OT-2. The HEPA module introduces a continuous flow of filtered air into the OT-2 enclosure, expelling contaminants and providing a positive pressure air boundary to prevent the introduction of airborne contaminants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
NOTE: HEPA modules are not biosafety cabinets and should never be used with pathogens. It should not be used in situations where there are volatile or any potentially hazardous aerosolized materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Device Ratings Intended Use of the Device The intended use of the HEPA module is the optional device Opentrons OT-2. It is designed to purify the air of the OT-2 workspace using a HEPA filter to reduce the number of particles in the workspace. A filter fan continuously moves air through the workspace and exhausts it through the sides of the OT-2 to keep the workspace clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
