Allergen Curtain Control

Designed to prevent personnel in animal departments from exposure to allergens from laboratory animals housed in open cages.

The curtains are designed to the room and the ventilation system in question. The design is based on room ventilation where inlet air is placed in the middle of the room and exhaust air is placed behind the curtains.
