Redefining biowaste effluent management in the modern laboratory
Biosafety regulations get stricter and lab workflows become more demanding. Facilities can no longer afford outdated approaches to liquid biowaste management. Off-site disposal contracts, chemical neutralization, and shared autoclave queues slow your team down and create compliance blind spots. These factors also put lab personnel at unnecessary risk.
Actini built the KUBE to cut through all of those challenges. This unit brings industrial-grade biosafety performance straight to the benchtop based on decades of hands-on expertise in thermal decontamination.
This unit transforms how your team handles contaminated effluents. It delivers faster turnaround, lower risk, uninterrupted workflows, and an auditable compliance trail in a standard lab footprint.
The KUBE keeps up with your pace whether you are scaling up R&D, running a multi-user facility, or meeting tightening requirements. This unit stays ready to go the moment you need it.
Mobility where it matters most
The KUBE is built to go where your operations take you. Compact enough to slide under a standard lab bench and light enough to be repositioned without any special equipment, it fits seamlessly into the tightest lab environments without disrupting your existing setup.
No dedicated room, no fixed plumbing, no permanent footprint, just plug it in wherever you need it and you’re ready to go.
Whether you’re reconfiguring your lab space, moving between rooms, or deploying across multiple workstations, the KUBE moves with you, keeping your biowaste decontamination workflow exactly where it belongs: right at the point of use.
The KUBE “High Risk” module
For facilities operating under the most stringent containment requirements, the KUBE goes beyond standard configurations. The optional “High Risk” module is specifically engineered for BSL3 and BSL4 compliance, addressing the elevated biosafety demands of high-containment laboratories, infectious disease research, and vaccine development environments where zero tolerance for contamination is non-negotiable.
This add-on transforms the KUBE into a fully reinforced decontamination unit, designed to handle the most hazardous biological effluents with the same plug-and-play simplicity of the standard model but with an additional layer of protection and containment control built right in. For teams working at the edge of biosafety, it’s the assurance that no compromise has been made, at any level of the process.
Key Highlights
Benchtop-ready footprint
Compact enough to slide right under a standard lab bench, the KUBE fits into your existing workspace without stealing an inch of precious floor space
Fully automatic operation
Every decontamination cycle is managed by an onboard PLC, with no operator intervention required and full automatic cycle recording for complete traceability.
100% electric : no steam, no chemicals
Forget steam lines, condensate returns, or chemical consumables. The KUBE runs on a standard electrical outlet, keeping your setup clean, safe, and sustainable.
BSL1 to BSL4 environments
From standard research labs to high-containment facilities, the KUBE scales to your biosafety requirements with adjustable thermal parameters and an optional "High Risk" module.
Stock available, tested before shipment
Mass-produced and ready to ship, every unit is tested at our facility before it leaves so you get a system that works right out of the box.
Decontamination cycle
- Heat treatment with F0 from 25 to 50 depending on the required safety levels
- Standard set 275°F (135°C) – 2 minutes (adjustable settings)
- 6.6 gallons (25 liters) biowaste storage tank
- Automatic start of treatment cycles according to the level of effluent
- Guaranteed effluent decontamination with validation of the treatment efficiency by sensors and temperature control in several points including the coldest point.
- Ensured containment of contaminated effluent
- Continuous operation thanks to the collecting tank located before the decontamination tank so as not to have to stop the use of the unit during the treatment cycle
Design
- Clean design limited to the essentials: storage tank, decontamination tank and heat exchanger

- Patented all-electric plug-and-play unit (Single-phase 110 V-60 Hz – 1.1 kW / 5 A).
- Compact layout:
Standard: 24’’ x 32’’ (600 x 800 mm) – Height : 32’’ (820 mm)
With Containment option: 25’’ x 32’’ (640 x 810 mm) – Height : 48’’ (1,220 mm) - Mass produced and available from stock
- Gravity drainage
- Cooling outside the treatment tank

Available Options
Performance & Safety
“High Risk” Module for BSL3 and BSL4 Compliance When the stakes are highest, the KUBE rises to meet them. The High Risk module is specifically engineered for facilities handling the most hazardous biological agents, providing the reinforced containment and additional safety layers required to meet BSL3 and BSL4 regulatory standards. Same plug-and-play simplicity, zero compromise on biosafety.
Vent Filter for Integration Outside a Confined Area Need to deploy the KUBE outside of a biosafety cabinet or contained room? The vent filter option makes it possible. By filtering airborne particles at the exhaust point, it ensures that the surrounding environment remains protected, giving you the flexibility to install the unit in open or semi-open lab spaces without sacrificing containment integrity.
Valve for Effluent Inlet Take full control of your effluent flow. This option adds a dedicated inlet valve that allows you to manage and regulate the entry of biohazardous liquids into the KUBE with precision, reducing the risk of overflow, backflow, or uncontrolled discharge during high-throughput operations.
Pumping System Gravity drainage not an option in your setup? No problem. The integrated pumping system ensures reliable effluent transfer regardless of your lab’s layout or floor configuration, making the KUBE adaptable to virtually any installation environment, even technically constrained sites where standard drainage is not feasible.
Connectivity & Traceability
Connection to the Customer’s BMS Keep your decontamination data where it belongs, integrated into your facility’s Building Management System. This option allows the KUBE to communicate directly with your existing infrastructure, giving your engineering and safety teams real-time visibility over unit status, cycle data, and operational alerts, all from a centralized monitoring platform.
Remote Access Control Monitor and manage your KUBE from anywhere in the facility. The remote access control option gives authorized personnel the ability to check unit status, review cycle data, and control operations without being physically present at the unit, a critical advantage in restricted-access zones or multi-room lab environments.
Batch Report for Cycle Traceability Every cycle. Every parameter. Every timestamp, documented automatically. The batch report option generates a complete record of each decontamination cycle, providing the audit-ready traceability your quality, compliance, and regulatory teams need. Whether you’re preparing for an inspection or simply maintaining internal standards, your data is always there when you need it.
