Class II biosafety cabinet
escribed as a new generation biosafety cabinet, that has been independently tested for safety and performance to the European Standard EN12469
Biohazard safety cabinet offers highest protection
99.9999% typical ULPA filtration ensures the highest degree of sample and user protection while the dynamic chamber design prevents any cabinet leaks
Containment cabinets with anti-microbial coating
Silver ions in the powder coating bind to cells of micro-organisms and effectively interrupt their critical functioning, thus inhibiting growth of potentially hazardous bacteria, moulds and fungi
Airstream biosafety cabinets are now also available in two different versions: with transparent UV-resistant glass sides (E-series) or with full stainless steel interior (S-series).
Backward curve motorised impeller technology employed in the cabinet, replacing conventional blowers, ensures better air uniformity and improved energy efficiency for lower operating costs.
Highly customisable Esco Sentinel microprocessor control system alerts the user of any unsafe operation conditions.
An integral unique raised armrest of the cabinet is comfortable and prevents accidental blocking of the front air grilles during operations.
Attention has been paid to ergonomics - such as low noise, comfortable 5000k warm lighting, and a frameless sliding front sash.
Stringent quality control testing, including individual containment tests, is performed and reported on every unit shipped.
Investment is also protected by a design that can be field-upgraded later with Esco's retrofit kits.
