The WS6 downflow workstation from Mystaire Misonix, a specialist in exposure control technology for laboratory applications, is designed for histology and pathology laboratory analysis.
The compact, versatile design of the WS6 makes a variety of installation formats possible according to individual needs.
By drawing contaminated air downward into the stainless steel work surface, the workstation provides containment of potentially harmful vapours that could be present when cutting or staining samples. Contaminated air is then drawn through a two-stage filter system for maximum fume adsorption. The coconut shell carbon filtration media adsorbs both chemical vapours and neutralising chemicals commonly used in histology and pathology.
The open design and downward airflow pattern of the WS6 makes the unit particularly suited to microscopy work, or where close visibility is required, the firm says. Linking multiple WS6 workstations is possible to form a histology staining bench.
The workstation features integral fluorescent lighting to illuminate the entire work surface evenly, providing glare‐fee viewing and helping to eliminate operator fatigue.
