  • Technology: Patented thermal batch process
  • Energy: 100% electric
  • Compliance: BSL-1, BSL-2, BSL-3 biosafety standards

Reduce production downtime with the Actini Group KUBE.

Why choose the KUBE for your biodecontamination?

Performance and safety

  • Guaranteed inactivation: complete elimination of bacteria, viruses and pathogens through thermal treatment (standard cycle 135 °C for 2 min).
  • No chemicals: an environmentally friendly solution that reduces environmental impact and simplifies consumable management.
  • Operator protection: fully closed system that limits any risk of exposure or cross contamination.

Compact and mobile design

  • Small footprint: ergonomic format designed to fit under a laboratory bench or close to the source.
  • Full mobility: mounted on wheels for rapid deployment on temporary sites or restricted-access areas.
  • Ready to use: simplified installation without major modification to existing infrastructure.

Application fields

Research, biotech and diagnostics

In environments where pathogens are handled daily, the KUBE acts as a reliable and easy-to-validate local decontamination barrier.

  • Research laboratories and start-ups: enables rapid installation for BSL-1 to BSL-3 benches without complex plumbing work, ideal for fast-growing organizations.
  • CMO (Contract Manufacturing Organizations): its versatility adapts to frequent protocol changes and different effluent types without compromising discharge sterility.
  • Hospital and diagnostic sector: KUBE secures effluents from medical analysis instruments and forensic departments, ensuring that any liquid leaving the facility is fully decontaminated.

Mobile units and emergency situations

Thanks to its compact design and autonomy, the KUBE meets deployment needs where fixed infrastructure is unavailable.

  • Container laboratories: ideal partner for modular facilities deployed on remote sites or during field research campaigns.
  • Temporary sites and health crises: its plug-and-play setup enables immediate deployment to secure waste from mobile diagnostic centers or temporary care units.
  • Backup solution: ensures operational continuity during maintenance of central decontamination systems, avoiding costly interruptions in production or research.

Frequently asked questions about thermal decontamination

What is the F0 value?

It is the indicator of treatment effectiveness. An F0 = 50 means that the applied thermal treatment is equivalent to 50 minutes at 121 °C, ensuring destruction of the most heat-resistant microorganisms.

Does the KUBE require heavy maintenance?

No. Its standardized design and self-diagnostic system allow simple preventive maintenance while ensuring maximum operational continuity.

Focus on the automated treatment process

The KUBE integrates advanced engineering to ensure total safety from collection to discharge, without human handling.

A 100% automated decontamination cycle

The KUBE ensures effluent management without any manual handling, from collection to final discharge.

  • Smart gravity collection
    Effluents are directed directly to the 25-liter buffer tank. The system automatically detects the filling level and launches the treatment cycle autonomously.
  • Intelligent controller
    An intuitive interface manages the entire process: start, stop and data recording. The system includes self-diagnostic programs to guarantee maximum operational reliability.

Advanced technology and discharge safety

The KUBE design relies on patented technologies to ensure complete thermal inactivation and protection of your infrastructure.

  • Patented electric heating
    The unit uses high-performance heating technology to reach precise temperature levels up to 135 °C. This method guarantees uniform and irreversible thermal inactivation of microorganisms.
  • Cooling and network protection
    Before discharge, an integrated heat exchanger reduces effluent temperature to between 70 and 75 °C. This critical step secures the discharge and protects pipeline networks from thermal shock.
