FASTER S.r.l.

The ChemFAST Sharp is a modern, high-performance chemical fume cupboard from FASTER, designed for connection to a centralised exhaust air system. Developed in accordance with the specifications of EN ISO 14175 Part 3-6, it offers maximum safety for the user - combined with energy-efficient airflow technology. By using a variable air volume principle, the supply air speed is automatically adapted to the opening of the windscreen. This means that only as much air is conveyed as is actually required to ensure personal safety. This intelligent air volume regulation not only contributes to significant energy savings, but also sustainably reduces CO₂ emissions.

With the ChemFAST Premium, FASTER presents a new generation of fume cupboards with hybrid technology that combines maximum personal and environmental protection with outstanding energy efficiency. Compared to conventional chemical fume cupboards, energy consumption can be reduced by up to 80 % - without compromising on safety, performance or ease of use. This innovative solution is ideal for all laboratory areas where harmful vapours, aerosols or hazardous substances need to be treated in a controlled manner and where resource-saving operation is required at the same time.

The ChemFAST Classic from FASTER is a high-quality chemical fume cupboard that has been specially developed for 100 % exhaust air operation and enables connection to a central exhaust air system. It fulfils the strict requirements of EN ISO 14175, parts 1-3 and thus guarantees tested safety in the daily handling of hazardous vapours, gases and aerosols. In contrast to systems with variable air volumes, the ChemFAST Classic works with a constant air flow, creating a particularly stable protective atmosphere in the work area - regardless of external influences. The supply air speed can be set manually in three stages (0.3 / 0.5 / 0.7 m/s), depending on the type and concentration of the chemicals used.

Maximum personal, product and environmental protection when handling toxic substances The CytoFAST Elite / Premium is a state-of-the-art Class II safety cabinet, specially designed for the safe handling of cytostatics and other highly active substances. It not only protects the material to be processed from contamination, but also ensures effective protection of the operating personnel and the environment from toxic or infectious particles. Thanks to sophisticated air routing, state-of-the-art filter technology and well thought-out ergonomics, the CytoFAST Elite offers maximum safety, comfort and efficiency in daily laboratory operations.

The SafeFAST Elite Class I is a Class I biological safety cabinet specifically designed for the safe handling of potentially hazardous or infectious materials. It provides effective protection for operators and the surrounding environment without introducing return air into the work area - a key safety benefit when working with unknown or hazardous substances. The cabinet is fully compliant with the European standard EN 12469:2000 and represents state-of-the-art safety technology in the field of microbiological laboratory equipment.

ColdFAST M series - ultra-low temperature freezers for maximum safety, efficiency and environmental compatibility

FASTER personnel air showers are indispensable airlock systems for the efficient removal of particles and dust deposits from the surface of cleanroom clothing. They are used in sensitive areas such as microelectronics, semiconductor production, airbrush painting, pharmaceutical production and the food industry. These systems ensure that employees entering the controlled cleanroom area are freed from contaminating particles before they enter critical production zones - an important contribution to avoiding cross-contamination and complying with strict hygiene standards.

The laminar air flow booths from FASTER offer ultra-clean working conditions in accordance with ISO class 3 as per ISO 14644-1. These innovative cleanroom modules with vertical laminar flow can be flexibly configured - from compact individual modules to large-scale cleanroom-sized systems. They are ideal for use in the pharmaceutical, food, cosmetics and electronics industries. Our LAF-Booths can either be stabilised using robust stainless steel legs or suspended directly from the ceiling to save space. PVC or polycarbonate strip curtains with an innovative quick-change system reliably isolate the clean working areas from the surroundings. The modular units can be customised and installed, for example, as a Restricted Access Barrier System (RABS) above pharmaceutical filling systems - to ensure sterility during sensitive production steps. In the food and beverage industry, they are also used to create a controlled overpressure within the filling areas, effectively preventing the ingress of contaminants.

The FlowFAST V is a state-of-the-art product safety cabinet with vertical laminar airflow that has been specially developed for applications where a contamination-free working area is required. Thanks to its technical features, it complies with cleanliness class ISO 3 in accordance with ISO 14644-1 and therefore offers a high-performance, economical alternative to the classic cleanroom. The uniform vertical air flow across the entire work surface creates a sterile overpressure area that reliably prevents particles or microorganisms from the environment from entering the work area. The FlowFAST V is therefore ideal for use in the pharmaceutical industry, biotechnology, research laboratories, medical diagnostics and the food and cosmetics industries.

The SafeFAST Premium from FASTER combines state-of-the-art technology, first-class safety standards and maximum ease of use in one device. As a class II biological safety cabinet, it was specially designed for working with biological agents and cell cultures - with the aim of reliably protecting the product, personnel and environment at the same time. Whether in pharmaceutical research, microbiology, cell biology, haematology or genetic engineering - the SafeFAST Premium is the perfect solution for GMP-compliant processes where absolute purity, energy efficiency and ergonomics are paramount.

The FASTER GloveFAST Cyto is a space-saving, high-performance negative pressure isolator with a 4-stage HEPA filter system, specially developed for the safe handling of highly effective substances such as cytostatics and other toxic or mutagenic agents. Despite its compact design, the isolator offers complete protection for the product, personnel and environment and fulfils the highest safety and hygiene requirements - at a particularly attractive price-performance ratio.

The GloveFAST Clean isolators are designed to meet specific standards and certifications. They utilize three low-pressure drop H14 HEPA/ULPA filters with an efficiency exceeding 99.995% MPPS, as per EN 1822. The operational conditions ensure air cleanliness in Class ISO 3, in accordance with ISO 14644-1 and Grade A EU-cGMP guidelines.

The GloveFAST Aseptic is a modern, GMP-compliant positive pressure isolator with vertical laminar airflow that has been specially developed for work processes where maximum product safety, sterility and operator protection are essential. Thanks to its modular design, the isolator can be flexibly adapted to customer-specific requirements and is suitable for both routine use and demanding pharmaceutical applications.

The GloveFAST Cyto Pharma isolator complies with the following standards and certifications: - **DIN 12980:2017-05**: Specifies requirements for isolators used in pharmaceutical applications. - **DIN EN ISO 14644-7**: Pertains to cleanrooms and associated controlled environments, focusing on isolators. - **EN 61010**: Covers safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control, and laboratory use. - **VDE / DIN 57789**: Relates to testing and inspection of electrical equipment. - **VDI 2083-1 and VDI 2083-3**: Provide guidelines for the qualification and testing of cleanrooms and associated controlled environments. - **DIN EN ISO 14644-1**: Defines the classification of air cleanliness in cleanrooms and associated controlled environments. - **EN 1822**: Specifies testing methods for high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters. - **ISO 5**: Denotes a cleanroom classification with a maximum allowable particle count. Additionally, the isolator is TÜV Nord GS-certified, indicating compliance with German safety standards.
