Bigneat’s BCAS controlled atmosphere storage system with dry/nitrogen gas environment is ideal for storing valuable specimens, moisture sensitive substances and chemical compounds. It is ideally suited for storing Compound Libraries.
The moisture-free environment is maintained using nitrogen gas and the atmosphere is controlled by feedback from O2 sensors to a MMI/PLC controller. This operates solenoid valves which control nitrogen inlet valves purging each storage compartment independently and also switching valves for extraction. An extractor fan exhausts via ducting to the outside of the building.
Safe for operators
With the potential for release of N2 gas into the room when accessing the storage compartments it is imperative that a room situated oxygen sensors monitors ambient air.
