Erlab has invented a unique approach to solving the problem associated with noxious fumes in the laboratory. By combining safety with energy savings, the Halo air filtration system is different than anything else you have seen before.

Halo provides healthier air in your laboratory by sensing and capturing chemicals. Utilizing the power of Erlab’s patented Neutrodine filtration technology, Halo is a laboratory-grade air filtration system that provides safe reduction of air change rates while simultaneously improving the air quality of the lab.

Halo is continuously pulling the dirty air in the lab through the filter, adsorbing the molecules that cause noxious odors, and returning clean air back to the room through low-disruptive side vents. The laboratory-grade molecular filtration system contains Neutrodine, a unique and powerful activated carbon mixture combined with a pre-filter that captures a large variety of airborne contaminants, which left untreated, could represent a potential health hazard. A soft band of light assures the occupants of the lab that the air is clean. When the LED lights pulse, Halo is letting you know that it is sensing and capturing fugitive contaminants. You can easily check the status, change the setting, or check for routine maintenance via your smartphone.

FiltrationFiltration and microfiltration are used to separate solids, particulates or large molecules from fluids (liquid or gases) in order to purify the filtrate. Explore a range of filter formats, including filter paper, plates and membranes for your separation needs. While larger particulates may be separated by gravity filtration, smaller particulates may require additional force for timely separation. Microfiltration equipment includes vacuum filters, as well as positive pressure, crossflow and centrifugal filtration devices.
