What is the Purpose of a Static Pass Box?

Why is Static Pass Box Used in Present Days Laboratories?

In the area of controlled-environment laboratories, contamination-free workflow is crucial. A static pass box is a clean room accessory that grants you the ability to pass materials between two areas with different levels of cleanliness.

What is Static Pass Box?

A static pass thru box is a small room that attaches to the wall separating two rooms between a clean room and an external room. Its doors on each side are interlocked, and one door can only be opened at a time. This discourages direct air flow, and hence particle transfer, between the two spaces. It does not include a HEPA filter or an active method of air circulation, in contrast to dynamic pass boxes, and is dependent on the interlock and surface finish for cleanliness.

Key Features and Benefits

Contamination Control

Static Pass Box Static pass box served as airlock in order to reduce contamination between clean room and non clean room area by minimizing its air borne particles. This is especially the case when dealing with hazardous materials or processes such as those with laboratory centrifuge machines or refrigerated centrifuge unit.

Transfer Facility Efficiency

Tools, Samples and Consumables easily transferred The rapid and safe transfer of tools, samples and consumables in the static pass box system optimizes your laboratory workflow. Whether transporting test tubes, HEATING MANTLE parts or equipment for a salt spray test chamber, so workers do not have to gown/down over and over again during the workday.

Applications in Various Fields

Static Pass boxes are ideal for many types of lab configurations:

Laminar flow machines are used in microbiology labs

Chemical analysis laboratories using insulation glass wool* for thermal insulation

Pharmaceutical manufacturing lines that include static pass boxes combined with biosafety cabinets

Good Install Practices

Position the Pass Box in the Right Place: Place the pass box in an area where it is being used most: next to sample preparation benches or even close to the equipment that is used the most and probably need pass through – lab centrifuge machines.

Surface Materials : Opt for stainless-steel interiors because of ease of cleaning and resistance to corrosion, especially if you are working with a humid environment or chemical reagents.

Interlock Check-Test interlocks to verify that both doors cannot be opened at the same time, allowing cleanroom pressure differential to be maintained.
