Five reasons why you should have a TeachAide in your classroom

The TeachAide from Syngene’s partner AirClean Systems provides a safe and controlled environment for handling hazardous materials, improving accuracy and precision, and enhancing research capabilities. Using laminar flow hoods and workstations in a science classroom or educational setting can benefit students and researchers by helping students learn and conduct research more effectively.

Here are our top 5 reasons why you should have a TeachAide in your classroom.

All contact surfaces of the TeachAide workstation are made of flame-retardant UL-94VO construction materials. Along with flame retardant pre-filters, ensure that your workstation can withstand rigorous classroom use without damaging the carbon and HEPA filters.

Accidental spills can easily be dealt with as the TeachAide workstation comes with a built-in work surface. This specially designed surface has a curved lip at the front to effectively contain spills.

Airclean has worked tirelessly to ensure that the TeachAide workstations meet all the applicable standards of OSHA and ANSI Z9.5, making TeachAide a safe choice for your lab.

The TeachAide laminar workstation offers innovative filtration technology. The filter system consists of a pre-filter, a HEPA filter and a bonded carbon filter. This mix of filters provides excellent containment of toxic vapours, gases and particulates.

• HEPA filters are designed to capture fine particles and biologicals 0.3 microns in size with an efficiency of 99.97%.
• Bonded carbon filtration ensures that carbon is evenly distributed throughout the filter, maximising potential capture and minimising the operator’s exposure to hazardous carbon dust.
• AirClean Systems bonded carbon filters provide layers of filtration tailored to specific chemical classes. These filters protect against the most frequently used chemicals, including acids, amines, and volatile organic compounds.

AirClean Systems is proud of the controllers they have designed for its range of air purification systems. The TeachAide workstation uses the AirSafe automatic safety controller installed as standard. The AirSafe has a simple-to-use interface with robust airflow control, filtration monitoring and gas detection capabilities.

In addition to AirSafe, AirClean systems offer a number of control features. These include a low airflow alarm that visually and audibly warns the operator, real-time monitoring of the installed filtration bed, and a filter safety lockout to ensure the correct filter replacement.

Safety is ensured and easy with AirClean controllers.

The TeachAide’s design, which includes filters on top and a transparent polycarbonate shell permitting ambient illumination into the chamber, provides operators and observers with an unobstructed view of the chamber contents. True 360-degree visibility helps to promote total engagement in the classroom, allowing for demonstrations and teaching while promoting safe practices among students.

The TeachAide workstation requires no setup, installation, or ducting. This low-maintenance setup eliminates the cost of facility ductwork, heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC), and construction. The plug-in-and-go self-contained, integrated system is ideal for a fixed location or mobile application
