Special Offer on Esco Biosafety Cabinet From Appleton Woods
The Labculture® Plus unit provides ISO Class III levels of cleanliness through its superior ULPA filters, and is on special offer until the end of December 2008.
The Labculture® Plus cabinet’s double ULPA filtration uses filters with 99.9997 per cent efficiency against 0.3 micron particle size, offering 100 times more protection than HEPA filtration and has been certified to BS EN 12469 by HPA Porton Down. The cabinet boasts very low running costs, equivalent to less than three 100 Watt light bulbs. The 8.5 degree sloping front window eliminates glare and ensures operator comfort during extended usage, while the glass sides offer extra visibility. All painted surfaces are treated with Isocide™ antimicrobial coating to minimise contamination, and the fully motorised sash seals for decontamination with hydrogen peroxide. Multi-piece tray components can be easily removed for cleaning, decontamination and autoclave sterilisation.
The microprocessor-based speed controller maintains constant, stable airflow regardless of supply voltage fluctuations, while dual EC fans have low electrical usage and quiet operation. Sentinel™ Gold microprocessor monitors airflow in real-time via temperature-compensated sensors, and conserves UV lamp life with its unique timer function.
