CBC' Quality Control Tracking

Each CBC Flexible Film Canopy is Marked With its Own Unique Serial Number .

When you buy one of our gnotobiotic isolator systems or just a canopy, your canopy will be marked with its own unique serial number and manufacture date. Should you ever have a issue with the canopy (or need a replacement) CBC can trace your canopy back to the exact specs previously ordered. The same for replacement canopies for existing frames and filter systems.

  • Traceability.
  • Faster replacement.
  • More accurate replacement.

Each CBC Flexible Film Canopy is Marked With its Own Unique Serial Number and Manufacture Date to Ensure Traceability and Better Customer Support.

The CBC Difference

The CBC difference includes our original lap-seam sealing process and the use of 20 mil. polyurethane material that is almost indestructible and helps ensure against contamination due to accidental puncture or tear.

CBC uses a highly durable "lap seam" seal for the majority of our seams, and an even superior "cut/weld/strip seam" seal for high risk areas. Because your reputation, research or production should not risk being compromised!    (See, "Pull Test" and "Puncture Demonstration" videos below.)

Improved Living Environment

CBC's lower filter inlet port and upper filter outlet port can more efficiently remove warm, moist air. What's more, our 5" diameter design (vs. competitive 3" diameter) provides greater airflow. The larger filter diameter combined with CBC's unique "inlet/outlet" port design help improve the isolator's living environment.
