Geofil Tech presents a variety of reagent cabinet products with a variety of superior air conditioning technologies… “Actively targeting overseas markets with advanced technology!”
Since its establishment in 2005, Geophiltech has continuously introduced products for a pleasant environment in industrial sites and laboratories through continuous research and development. Representative examples include the world’s first completely sealed self-circulating safety storage device, a neutralization device for removing harmful gases, and pollution prevention equipment for removing various types of dust and hazardous substances. In addition, the company explains that with its field experience and development competitiveness, it is developing filters for removing environmental pollution, environmental plants, and reliable research and development equipment, thereby establishing itself as a global leader in the related industry.
At this exhibition, Geophiltech showcased its various laboratory safety equipment and singled out the reagent cabinet product line as its most core product. The characteristic of these reagent cabinets is that they provide optimized functions depending on the medicine being stored, such as ▲closed self-circulating type ▲ventilated type ▲phase separation type ▲acid resistance (for strong acids and bases) ▲refrigerated type ▲stacked type.
In the case of a closed self-circulating reagent cabinet, it has a differential pressure design to maintain a negative pressure of -0.3hpa inside the reagent cabinet, and boasts an airtightness that prevents the air inside the reagent cabinet from being discharged to the outside. In particular, the flow speed at the bottom is designed to maintain a precise value of 0.53 m/s, effectively blocking the backflow of odor and harmful gas molecules that are heavier than air.
An ion cluster-based Cassia module filter is used to remove harmful gases. Ion clusters, which can be used semi-permanently, are aggregates of 10 to 60 oxygen molecular ions, and various radicals such as oxygen anions, cations, and OH groups directly oxidize with volatile organic compounds, which are gaseous substances, removing pollutants. Remove .
In addition, high-performance chemical filters that respond to harmful gases through physical adsorption by controlling the size and distribution of fine pores are also used. Chemical adsorption is maximized through surface modification and functional group attachment, and a dedicated filter capable of responding to various VOCs and odors is additionally built in.
An official from Geophiltech said, “In addition to the reagent cabinet, we have been continuously introducing products specialized for maintaining laboratory safety and optimal air conditioning, such as harmful gas purification and removal devices, spent reagent safety storage boxes, dust collectors, and flammable cabinets,” and added, “We have technology in the relevant field. “Our goal is to expand our influence not only domestically but also in overseas markets by continuously developing and strengthening our corporate capabilities,” he added.
