Dueperthal UTS S Undercounter Safety Cabinet with Wing Doors / Drawer – Version S (Classical Design)

Overview

The Dueperthal UTS S Undercounter Safety Cabinet with Wing Doors / Drawer is a rigorously engineered, German-manufactured storage solution designed for secure, compliant containment of hazardous substances in laboratory and industrial environments. Engineered to DIN 12927 standards for hazardous material storage cabinets, the UTS S integrates structural fire resistance (90-minute fire rating), chemical compatibility, and ergonomic accessibility within a compact undercounter footprint. Its classical Version S configuration features a downward-opening wing door mechanism combined with a full-extension drawer system—optimized for rapid, controlled access while maintaining physical separation between operator and stored contents. The cabinet’s robust steel or optional stainless steel construction ensures long-term durability against corrosion from acids, alkalis, solvents, and aqueous pollutants. As part of Dueperthal’s certified safety portfolio—developed over nearly four decades in fire protection and occupational safety—the UTS S supports institutional adherence to EU-wide workplace safety directives (e.g., Directive 98/24/EC on chemical agents), national fire codes, and laboratory risk management frameworks.

Key Features

• Undercounter form factor (600 × 595 × 635 mm external) enables seamless integration beneath standard laboratory workbenches without compromising floor space or workflow ergonomics.
• Wing door + drawer dual-access architecture: Top-mounted hinged wing doors provide unobstructed overhead access; bottom-mounted full-extension drawer (399 × 438 × 60 mm) facilitates organized, gravity-assisted retrieval of containers up to 2.5 L.
• Integrated spill containment sump (1 unit) with sloped base and perforated insert plate (1 unit) ensures immediate retention of leaked liquids and simplifies decontamination procedures.
• Material options: Cold-rolled steel (Ref. No. 29-060664-001) with epoxy-polyester powder coating, or electropolished stainless steel (Ref. No. 29-060664-002) for enhanced resistance to aggressive corrosives including concentrated HNO₃, NaOH, and halogenated solvents.
• Standard grounding provision (1.8 m grounding cable, Ref. No. 1.806.63) ensures electrostatic discharge (ESD) safety during handling of flammable liquids.
• Modular accessory ecosystem includes anti-slip rubber mats (Ref. No. 29-90660-514), PP bottom slide-in trays (Ref. No. 29-90660-314), and sealed conduit pass-throughs (Ref. Nos. 29-70000-045 / -048) for integrated ventilation or inert gas purging.

Sample Compatibility & Compliance

The UTS S is validated for storage of diverse hazardous material classes per EU CLP Regulation (EC No. 1272/2008) and aligned with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.106 requirements for flammable liquid storage. Compatible substances include: Class I–III flammable liquids (e.g., acetone, ethanol, toluene), corrosive acids (H₂SO₄, HCl) and bases (NaOH, KOH), aqueous environmental contaminants (heavy metal solutions, pesticide residues), toxic compounds (cyanides, organophosphates), pressurized aerosol cans, and sealed gas cylinders (up to 300 mm diameter). All configurations carry GS/CE marking and conform to DIN 12927:2021 for structural integrity, fire resistance (90 min at 1000 °C), and door-latching reliability under thermal stress. Optional accessories support ISO/IEC 17025-compliant chain-of-custody protocols—including tamper-evident locking kits and audit-ready labeling zones.

Software & Data Management

While the UTS S is a passive mechanical storage system without embedded electronics, its design fully supports digital laboratory infrastructure. Each unit ships with a unique serial-numbered compliance dossier—including test certificates (DIN 4102-1 fire resistance report), material safety data sheets (MSDS) for all structural components, and ISO 9001:2015 quality system documentation. Integration with LIMS or EHS platforms is enabled via standardized asset tagging (QR/barcode-ready surface), compatible with RFID-enabled inventory tracking systems. Optional third-party IoT sensor modules (e.g., temperature/humidity/leak detection) can be mounted using the pre-drilled conduit ports (Ref. Nos. 29-70000-045 / -048), ensuring alignment with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 requirements for electronic record integrity when deployed in GLP/GMP-regulated facilities.

Applications

• University and pharmaceutical R&D labs requiring segregated, fire-rated storage for synthesis intermediates and analytical reference standards.
• Environmental testing laboratories managing EPA Method 525.3–compliant water pollutant samples (e.g., PAHs, PCBs) under chain-of-custody controls.
• Hospital pharmacy satellite dispensaries storing cytotoxic IV admixtures and controlled substance vials in restricted-access zones.
• Industrial QC labs handling raw material batches of catalysts, polymer precursors, and battery electrolytes under ATEX Zone 2/22 conditions (when paired with explosion-proof ventilation).
• Cleanroom environments (ISO Class 5–8) utilizing stainless steel variant with electropolished finish and low-particulate gasketing.

FAQ

Does the UTS S meet US NFPA 30 requirements for flammable liquid storage?
Yes—when installed per manufacturer instructions (including minimum clearance distances and grounding), the UTS S satisfies NFPA 30 Chapter 9 criteria for Type II portable safety cabinets, supported by its 90-minute fire-resistance certification per DIN 4102-1.
Can the drawer accommodate 2.5 L glass carboys with stability?
The drawer’s internal height (60 mm) is dimensioned for standard 400 mL aerosol cans and 1 L tins; 2.5 L vessels are intended for placement on fixed internal shelves—not the drawer—ensuring center-of-gravity stability and spill containment integrity.
Is stainless steel construction required for hydrofluoric acid (HF) storage?
Yes—due to HF’s ability to etch carbon steel, the stainless steel variant (Ref. No. 29-060664-002) is mandatory for HF or fluoride-containing solutions; standard steel units are rated only for non-fluorinated acids and bases.
What ventilation options integrate with the UTS S?
The cabinet includes two factory-drilled, sealable conduit ports (M25 thread) compatible with rigid PVC or stainless steel ducting (Ref. Nos. 29-70000-045 / -048), enabling connection to central exhaust or recirculating activated carbon filtration systems per EN 14175-3.
Are replacement parts traceable and available globally?
All accessories—including drawer slides, sump liners, and grounding hardware—carry Dueperthal’s 6-digit reference numbering system (e.g., 29-90664-119) and are stocked by authorized distributors in EEA, North America, and APAC regions under ISO 9001 supply chain controls.
