Nu Aire has updated its Labgard ES model NU-629 animal handling class II, type A2 biological safety cabinet, which provides protection for sensitive animal handling and cage changing procedures.
Now engineered with an ultra-high-efficiency DC style ECM motor, Labgard ES is claimed to offer energy savings of more than 50 per cent over conventional motor technology.
The ECM motor creates an increase in total filter load capacity of 250 per cent, to extend the HEPA filter life expectancy from seven to 10 years.
With its added torque, the NU-629 runs quieter with less vibration enhancing the work environment.
An electronic adjustable work surface height, from 603-984mm or optional 1,086mm, allows the unit to be mobile enough to fit through standard doors, while providing the necessary comfortable work surface height for technicians.
Labgard NU-629 line now introduces a nominal 1.5m model to complement the 1.2 m and 1.8m models.
A 305mm access opening offers greater visibility and reach within the class II, type A2 bio-hazard containment through a 105 FPM air barrier.
The uni-directional laminar airflow minimises air turbulence and cross contamination between animals.
All contaminated ducts, plenums and gaskets are under negative pressure or surrounded by negative pressure to eliminate the possibility of cabinet or gasket leaks and to guard against HEPA failure.
The Labgard NU-629 provides a unique pre-filtration system located in the back of the unit to trap large particles such as animal hair before it enters the plenum.
This system helps enhance the life of the HEPA filters resulting in lower operating costs.
The pre-filter can be access through the work zone providing front service access.
A two-piece work surface reduces weight when removing for cleaning.
A prop up work tray allows the ability to clean under the work surface for disinfection.
