FUXIA FX-BX-15G Portable Ozone Generator for Laboratory Disinfection

Overview

The FUXIA FX-BX-15G is a compact, CE-compliant portable ozone generator engineered for controlled disinfection in laboratory environments, biosafety cabinets, cleanrooms, and small-scale containment spaces. It operates on the principle of corona discharge—applying high-voltage alternating current across a dielectric barrier to dissociate oxygen molecules (O₂) and recombine them into ozone (O₃). With a nominal ozone output capacity of 15 g/h, the unit delivers stable, metered ozone concentrations suitable for surface decontamination, air sterilization, and residual pathogen inactivation without thermal or chemical residue. Its sealed stainless-steel discharge chamber, integrated cooling fan, and real-time ozone concentration monitoring via built-in electrochemical sensor ensure consistent performance under continuous operation. Designed for intermittent duty cycles typical of lab-scale decontamination protocols, the FX-BX-15G complies with ISO 14644-1 Class 5–7 ambient air quality requirements when used in conjunction with validated ventilation recovery procedures.

Key Features

• Portable, lightweight chassis (≤12 kg) with integrated carry handle and non-slip rubber feet for stable placement on lab benches or mobile carts
• Corona discharge ozone generation with ceramic dielectric barrier and air-cooled electrode assembly for extended service life and low maintenance
• Adjustable ozone output (0–100% in 10% increments) via rotary encoder control, enabling precise dosing aligned with exposure time and chamber volume
• Built-in electrochemical ozone sensor (range: 0–200 ppm) with digital LED display showing real-time output concentration and cumulative runtime
• Auto-shutdown function triggered by overtemperature (>65°C), overpressure, or sensor fault—compliant with IEC 61000-6-2 EMC immunity standards
• UL-listed power supply (100–240 VAC, 50/60 Hz) with surge protection and EMI filtering; meets RoHS 3 and REACH Annex XVII material restrictions

Sample Compatibility & Compliance

The FX-BX-15G is intended for use with ambient air as feed gas and does not require external oxygen concentrators or dryers. It is compatible with standard laboratory enclosures up to 30 m³ (e.g., Class II BSCs, gloveboxes, laminar flow hoods, and small isolation rooms). Ozone contact time and concentration profiles must be validated per application using iodometric titration or UV photometry (ASTM D1429-20, ISO 10156:2017). The device conforms to EN 17128:2020 for portable disinfection equipment safety and supports GLP-aligned documentation through optional RS-485 Modbus RTU interface (available with FUXIA DataBridge firmware v2.1+). It is not intended for direct human exposure; operators must follow OSHA PEL (0.1 ppm, 8-hr TWA) and NIOSH REL (0.1 ppm, 10-hr TWA) guidelines during deployment.

Software & Data Management

While the FX-BX-15G operates as a standalone unit, its optional RS-485 port enables integration into centralized lab environmental monitoring systems (LMS) compliant with 21 CFR Part 11. When paired with FUXIA’s DataBridge software (Windows 10/11, x64), users can log timestamped ozone concentration, runtime, fault codes, and manual setpoint changes with user-level access control and electronic signature support. Audit trails are stored locally in encrypted SQLite databases with SHA-256 hashing, supporting FDA audit readiness and internal QA review. Raw sensor data exports to CSV or .xlsx formats for trend analysis in JMP or Python-based statistical packages.

Applications

• Routine decontamination of biosafety cabinet work surfaces between experiments involving BSL-2 pathogens (e.g., E. coli, S. aureus)
• Post-use sterilization of reusable labware (glassware, polymer tubing, silicone gaskets) prior to autoclave cycling
• Intermittent air treatment in analytical instrument rooms housing HPLC, GC-MS, or ICP-MS systems to suppress microbial biofilm formation in humidified gas lines
• Validation support for ISO 14644-3 cleanroom recertification where ozone-based bioburden reduction supplements HEPA filtration
• Emergency response for accidental microbial contamination events (e.g., mold growth in incubator chambers, yeast aerosol release)

FAQ

Is the FX-BX-15G certified for use in regulated GMP laboratories?
Yes—when operated within documented SOPs and integrated with Part 11-compliant data logging, it supports GMP Annex 1 and EU GMP Chapter 5 environmental control requirements.
Can this unit generate ozone from bottled oxygen?
No—the FX-BX-15G is designed exclusively for ambient air feed; introducing pure oxygen voids the warranty and violates IEC 60335-2-60 safety provisions.
What is the recommended post-ozone ventilation protocol?
A minimum 30-minute forced-air exchange (≥12 ACH) using external HVAC or dedicated exhaust fans is required before re-entry, verified via handheld ozone monitor calibrated per ISO 17025.
Does the unit include calibration documentation?
Each unit ships with a factory calibration certificate traceable to NIM (China National Institute of Metrology); annual recalibration is recommended per ISO/IEC 17025:2017 Clause 6.6.
How often does the ceramic dielectric require replacement?
Under normal lab usage (≤4 hrs/day, 5 days/week), the dielectric barrier maintains ≥95% efficiency for 18,000 operating hours; replacement kits (P/N FX-DB-KIT-15G) are available through authorized FUXIA distributors.
