and vented chemical storage cabinets
for the total filtration of toxic gases
- Quality design
- Compliance with filtration standards
- Types of filters available for our product lines
- E.S.P. service (erlab Safety Program)
Our filter components guarantee that users of captair fume hoods and storage cabinets are working with a high-quality product:
- Each filter is designed so that the density of the carbon within it remains constant over time (US patent 4946480).
- Total control of negative wall effects (US patent 4946480).
- A stable, uniform adsorption column.
- Our filters are packaged in a way that guarantees that they are in perfect working condition upon delivery. Each filter is packaged in a sealed plastic package and identified by a serial number and a date of manufacture.
The quality design of our filters guarantees total protection. Inspired in part by military-type gas mask technology, our filters have been subject to rigorous testing and meet all safety requirements set forth by filtration standards:
- ASTM (American Standard Test Method) standard
This standard pertains to carbon as a raw material used in the design of filtration cartridges. It is an evaluation standard that pertains only to the quality of the raw material. It thus allows erlab to select high-performance carbons. Our filters require a quality of carbon with an adsorption capacity of 70% of CCl4, in compliance with the requirements of the ASTM standard. This capacity corresponds to a level of quality higher than that of standard gas mask filters.
- AFNOR (French standardization organization) standard NF X 15-211
This standard guarantees the filtration performance of the filters used in our devices. It sets forth requirements regarding the air quality downstream from the filter. This level of quality is proven through tests carried out by an independent laboratory, these tests demonstrate the filtration quality of our filters.

We use molecular filtration technology with all of our captairFlex and captairStore lines. The various models marketed since the end of the 1960's have been equipped with filters that differ in size from one device to the next.
