Biological Safety Cabinets Labculture® LA2

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Labculture Class II, Type A2 Biosafety Cabinet, Model LA2-4A_-E, is designed for high certification, energy efficiency, safety, and ergonomics. It complies with international standards such as NSF 49, UL 61010, and EN 12469.
Specifications: The cabinet is available in sizes from 0.9 to 2.4 meters, featuring easy-to-clean surfaces, side-mounted electrical outlets, and a curved grill. It includes a Sentinel Gold Microprocessor Controller and an RS 232 Serial Interface Port for managing operational information.
Filtration System: Utilizes ULPA filters with 99.999% efficiency for particles between 0.1 to 0.3 microns, creating an ISO Class 3 work zone. Negative pressure surrounds the blower plenum and side walls to prevent contamination escape.
Energy Efficiency: Features an ECM motor offering 70% energy savings compared to conventional motors, with a Night Setback mode reducing power consumption by 60%.
Safety and Ergonomics: Includes a dynamic air barrier, inflow and downflow air convergence, and side capture zones. The microprocessor control system provides real-time airflow monitoring and alerts for insufficient airflow.
Standards Compliance: Meets standards for air quality, filtration, and electrical safety, including NSF/ANSI 49 and ISO 14644.1 Class 3.
Accessories and Options: Offers accessories like support stands, electrical outlets, service fixtures, and ergonomic enhancements such as a germicidal UV lamp and ergonomic lab chair.
Performance Testing: Undergoes comprehensive testing, including inflow and downflow velocity checks, PAO aerosol challenge for filter integrity, and airflow pattern visualization.
Technical Specifications: Features an airflow sensor, exhaust ULPA filter, and ECM blower. Constructed with electrogalvanized and stainless steel, with sound emission ranging from 62.5 to 64.5 dBA.
Cabinet Design and Construction: Triple wall design with negative pressure surrounding positive pressure plenums. Constructed with stainless steel grade 304, featuring smooth, rounded corners for easy decontamination.
Ergonomics and Convenience: Designed for user comfort with a frameless front sash, safety glass, and a 10° angled front. Includes magnetic proximity sensors, fluorescent lamps, and a UV lamp with an automatic timer.
Control and Alarm System: Programmable microprocessor control system with a soft-touch keypad and backlit LCD display. Includes alarms for unsafe conditions and supports remote monitoring via RS 232 and optional TCP/IP connectivity.
Certification, Service, and Decontamination: Approved for hydrogen peroxide vapor and formaldehyde decontamination protocols. Features color-coded panels for hazardous areas and an antimicrobial coating on exterior surfaces.
Company Information: Esco Technologies, Inc. is a global provider of life sciences tools, with manufacturing facilities in Asia and Europe, and R&D conducted worldwide. The company offers a wide range of laboratory and pharmaceutical equipment.

Cabinet Filtration System The Performance Envelope Concept Side capture zones Dynamic air barrier, inflow and forward-directed downflow air converge ULPA-filtered air Unfiltered / potentially contaminated air Room air / Inflow air Ambient air is pulled through front grille to create inflow, without going into the work surface. Inflow is joined by half of the downflow, to create front air curtain that is fine-tuned to create a large performance envelope. The combined air stream travels through the back air column towards the blower. Approximately 1/3 of the air in the common plenum is exhausted...
