LabGard NU-677 Class II Type A2 Biosafety Cabinet

The AeroMax control system visualizes airflow plenum pressure through a series of multicolored lights and activates both an audible and visual alarm whenever cabinet performance departs from normal parameters.

A single DC ECM motor with a precision-engineered forward curved fan powers airflow through the biosafety cabinet. The ultra-high efficiency motor lowers energy costs and reduces noise pollution but is powerful enough to extend filter life. The one motor design allows for easy certification and airflow balancing. In addition, it provides enough power to compensate for HEPA filter loading, reducing filter changes and lowering the total ownership cost.

An optimally sized cabinet work access opening becomes paramount in a vivarium setting, especially when handling larger rat cages or when enhanced technician maneuverability is required for smooth cage transfers. Balancing this need with stringent biohazard safety, the 12-inch (305mm) work access opening, certified to the NSF/ANSI 49 standard, stands out. It accommodates the ingress and egress of substantial cages and provides ample space for technicians' arms, facilitating efficient and secure operations without compromising on containment.

In a vivarium, the longevity of a biosafety cabinet's HEPA filters is crucial. The presence of animal hair and dander can rapidly clog standard filters, necessitating a solution tailored for such environments. This is where the reusable pre-filter comes into play, adeptly capturing larger particles and significantly extending the HEPA filter's life by allowing it to tackle finer particulates. Moreover, the pre-filter strategic placement in the cabinet's back wall simplifies maintenance, providing easy access through the work zone for hassle-free removal and cleaning. This design enhances filter efficiency and promotes a more sustainable operation.
