SINK - Laboratory decontamination unit
A mobile decontamination unit equipped with a sink to meet your needs
The patented SINK builds on the KUBE by adding a hands-free safe water point. It’s a complete, sustainable solution for labs and hospitals that need both effluent treatment and controlled water access in one station.
- Capacity: Up to 26 gal/day (100 l/day)
- Technology: Batch
- Integrated VARICOR® sink with motion-sensor faucet
- Energy: 100% electric
- Effluent BSL: BSL1, BSL2, BSL3
We mass-produce, stock, and test the unit in our facility before shipment. It operates fully as soon as plugged in and requires no servicing.
More than a decontamination Unit : a complete workstation
Managing biohazardous effluents in a contained lab environment involves more than treatment alone. Every rinse, every disposal, every water point interaction carries a contamination risk if not properly controlled. The SINK by Actini was engineered to address this reality head-on, combining thermal effluent decontamination with a fully integrated, biosafe water access point in a single, self-contained unit.
Where other solutions force labs to separate their decontamination workflow from their water handling, the SINK brings both together. The result is a cleaner, safer, and more ergonomic workstation. It reduces touchpoints, minimizes cross-contamination risk, and provides everything in one place without traditional infrastructure overhead.
Mobility where it matters most
Designed for labs where space and flexibility are constant constraints, the SINK is built to adapt to your environment, not the other way around. The lightweight and self-contained unit sits next to any bench or workstation. You can relocate it whenever your layout evolves without tools, specialized personnel, or infrastructure modifications.
Whether you are reorganizing your contained space, expanding to a new room, or responding to shifting operational needs, the SINK moves with your workflow. No fixed installation, downtime, or disruption exists. Your team gets a fully operational decontamination and water access station wherever they need it most.
A safe water point, engineered for contained environments
In a biosafety environment, something as routine as rinsing a piece of equipment or disposing of a small liquid volume becomes a carefully managed operation. The SINK eliminates the complexity of that process by bringing a fully controlled water point directly to your decontamination station. Its integrated VARICOR® sink, activated by a motion sensor, removes the need for any manual contact, reducing cross-contamination risk at one of the most frequent touchpoints in lab operations. There is no need to step outside the contained area, no need to share a separate sink, and no risk of uncontrolled effluent disposal. Every drop of liquid handled at the SINK stays within a controlled, traceable, and fully decontaminated circuit from the moment it enters the unit to the moment it leaves.
Key Highlights
2-in-1 workstation
Thermal effluent decontamination and a biosafe water point in a single unit, removing the need for separate installations and reducing contamination risk at every step.
Designed for constrained spaces
Compact enough to sit adjacent to any bench or workstation, the SINK integrates into existing lab layouts without requiring dedicated floor space or structural modifications.
Continuous operation by design
A dedicated collecting tank upstream of the decontamination tank allows your team to keep working without interruption, even during active treatment cycles.
100% electric, zero consumables
No steam supply, no condensate return, no chilled water circuit. The SINK operates on a standard 110V outlet, making it as straightforward to run as it is to install.
Validated decontamination at every cycle
Treatment efficiency is confirmed by multi-point temperature sensors, including at the coldest point of the circuit, ensuring guaranteed sterility with every cycle.
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-gallon 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
- VARICOR® sink with a tap equipped with motion sensor
- Clean design limited to the essentials: storage tank, decontamination tank and heat exchanger
- Simple operation: no servicing, no need for steam nor condensate return or chilled water
- Patented all-electric plug-and-play unit (110 V / 60 Hz / 1.1 kW / 5A).
- Mass produced and available from stock
- Compact layout: 24’’ x 32’’ (600 x 700 mm) – Height : 51’’ (1300 mm)
- Gravity drainage
- Cooling outside the treatment tank
- Fully automatic operation: monitoring desk and automatic recording of cycles by the PLC
Available Options
Ergonomics & Safety
Pedal for tap triggering For environments where hands-free operation is a priority but motion sensors are not the preferred activation method, the pedal option offers a reliable foot-controlled alternative. It keeps both hands free at all times during rinsing or disposal operations, reducing contact risk and improving ergonomics for operators working in gloves or full PPE.
Replacement of the tap by a shower When rinsing requirements go beyond standard sink use, the tap can be replaced by an integrated shower head, allowing for more thorough decontamination of equipment, containers, or surfaces directly at the SINK station. An ideal upgrade for facilities handling larger volumes or bulkier labware on a daily basis.
Eye washer Safety regulations in contained environments often require immediate access to emergency eye washing capabilities. This option integrates a dedicated eye wash station directly into the SINK unit, ensuring your team has fast, compliant emergency response right at their workstation, without the need for a separate installation.
Heater for cold water and mixer tap Cold water can compromise certain decontamination and rinsing procedures. The heater option, combined with a mixer tap, gives operators precise control over water temperature directly at the SINK, improving both comfort and procedural consistency in day-to-day lab operations.
Connectivity & Traceability
Connection to the customer’s BMS Connect the SINK directly to your Building Management System for real-time visibility over cycle status, operational data, and safety alerts all from your centralized monitoring platform.
Vent filter for integration outside a confined area Allows safe deployment of the SINK in semi-open or open lab areas by filtering airborne biological particles at the exhaust point, no enclosed containment zone required.
Valve for effluent inlet Provides precise control over biohazardous liquid entry into the unit, preventing backflow and ensuring every treatment cycle starts under fully controlled conditions.
Remote access control Check status, review cycles, and adjust settings from anywhere in the facility. Essential for multi-room environments, restricted-access zones, and teams managing multiple units.
Pumping system When gravity drainage is not an option, the pumping system ensures reliable effluent evacuation regardless of your facility’s floor level or drain configuration.
Batch report for cycle traceability Every cycle automatically documented, parameters, timestamps, and temperature readings, generating a ready-to-use compliance record with no manual input required.
