A System that provides Security

The challange is to create innovative and indiviualized solutions that guarantee the highest possible degree of cleanliness and safety during transfer of highly sensitive or highly active materials.

Buck® has met this challenge with the Buck® TC Valve (Total Containment), a more exacting system based on the split-valve principle of the highly successful HC (High Containment) docking system, but designed to meet far more stringent requirements.

This docking system is an effective answer with regard to both mechanical safety specifications as well as the most stringent contamination regulation. Dust emmission levels during all phases of transfer, docking and undocking can be measured only in nanograms. This level of emission was previously possible only with the aid of isolation technology.
