Prototype-stage concept. Filtration performance, airflow, dimensions, materials, and mounting details require engineering confirmation. No ISO cleanliness classification is claimed.
Between-process protection
A cleaner process needs a cleaner place to pause.
Contamination-sensitive work does not always move directly from one operation to the next. Components may wait for inspection, packaging, another operator, available equipment, or the next production shift.
During these interruptions, work may be repeatedly bagged, covered, moved to remote storage, or left exposed near the process.
The CSC is designed to provide a dedicated staging location at the point of use.
Common applications
Designed for between-process staging
Assembly Interruptions
Hold components or subassemblies while an assembly process is paused.
Inspection Holds
Stage parts awaiting dimensional, visual, or quality inspection.
Breaks and Shift Changes
Keep work in a designated location when operators leave the process.
Cleaned Tools and Fixtures
Store cleaned tools, fixtures, trays, and handling equipment near the workstation.
Pre-Packaging Staging
Hold completed work before final packaging or transfer.
Laboratory Workflow Delays
Stage nonhazardous samples, tools, and equipment between procedures.
How air moves through the CSC
HEPA-filtered airflow in a compact chamber
The current prototype airflow design draws room air through the top prefilter. A blower moves air into the supply plenum and through the HEPA filter, delivering filtered downward airflow into the staging zone.
Return air enters lower side openings, travels through isolated side return passages, and exhausts through the rear perforated section.
The final plenum, diffuser, chamber pressure, filter configuration, airflow performance, and recovery performance remain subject to prototype testing.
Access and staging
Easy access to the staging zone
The front access door provides direct access to the filtered staging area for loading components, trays, tools, samples, and work-in-process.
The open-door prototype view shows the internal work zone and the clear viewing area used to keep staged items visible.

Workflow benefits
Built around the staging workflow
Point-of-Use Access
Keep staged work near the operator instead of moving it to another room or cabinet.
Reduced Handling
Reduce unnecessary transfers, repeated covering, and repeated bagging between operations.
Compact Footprint
Create a dedicated staging location without assigning a full-size clean bench solely to temporary storage.
Visible Work
Clear access panels allow operators to see staged items without opening an opaque bin or cabinet.
Flexible Installation
Use the chamber on a suitable existing surface or pair it with an EIS Clean Environment Table.
Configurable Interior
Support trays, components, tools, fixtures, and samples using removable rack or shelf configurations.
Depending on the application, the CSC may serve as a HEPA-filtered storage cabinet, clean staging cabinet, benchtop clean enclosure, or component staging chamber for clean WIP storage and filtered storage for sensitive components. It is designed for point-of-use clean storage—not temperature or humidity testing.
Potential applications
Across clean manufacturing
The CSC is designed for appropriate contamination-sensitive staging. Potential applications may support:
- Medical-device manufacturing
- Precision instrument manufacturing
- Optical component and sensor assembly
- Electronics and microelectronics
- Clean manufacturing and inspection
- Nonhazardous laboratory and research workflows
- Contract manufacturing
- Quality-control and metrology staging
Flexible installation
Use it on an existing surface or add a table
Existing work surface
Install the chamber on a suitable existing workbench, table, laboratory bench, inspection station, assembly station, cart, or other work surface. An EIS table is not required.
Optional EIS table
Pair the CSC with an EIS stainless steel table when you also need a dedicated work surface. The combination is a purchasing option, not a separate product.

Not intended for
- Hazardous chemicals
- Solvent or vapor-generating processes
- Biological containment
- Infectious materials
- Cytotoxic materials
- Sterile pharmacy compounding
- Radioactive materials
- Applications requiring personnel protection
- Applications requiring certified environmental containment
CSC FAQ
Questions about the pilot program
Is the CSC currently ISO classified?
No. Prototype performance testing is in progress. Eden Industrial Systems will publish only cleanliness, airflow, and recovery claims supported by completed testing.
Is the CSC a fume hood or biosafety cabinet?
No. The CSC is intended for nonhazardous clean staging. It is not designed to contain hazardous vapors, biological agents, infectious materials, or processes requiring operator protection.
Can the CSC be used on an existing table?
The CSC is being developed as a standalone benchtop product and with an optional EIS stainless steel table. The supporting surface must meet the published size, load, stability, and service-clearance requirements.
What can be stored inside the CSC?
Potential applications include components, trays, tools, fixtures, samples, and work-in-process that fit within the final published size and loading limits.
Will an ESD version be available?
An ESD-focused configuration is planned. Customers should include their grounding, surface-resistance, material, and component-handling requirements in the quote request.
How will filters be serviced?
Final filter-access procedures, replacement intervals, and maintenance instructions will be included in the product documentation after the prototype configuration is tested.
Pilot applications
Help shape the first production CSC.
Eden Industrial Systems is evaluating pilot applications with manufacturers and laboratories that regularly stage contamination-sensitive work between operations.
