Labculture - Class II, Type A2 and B2 Biological Safety Cabinets

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Labculture Class II, Type A2 Biosafety Cabinet, Model LA2-4A_-E, is designed for biological safety, offering a safe, energy-efficient, and ergonomic environment. It is certified under multiple international standards, including NSF 49, UL 61010, and EN 12469.
Specifications: The cabinet is available in sizes ranging from 0.9 to 2.4 meters. It features a large radius for easy cleaning, side-mounted electrical outlets, staggered service fixtures, a curved grill to prevent blockage, and a recessed design to contain spillage.
Safety and Monitoring: Equipped with a Sentinel Gold Microprocessor Controller, the cabinet monitors real-time airflow and alerts users if airflow is insufficient. All safety information is displayed on a single screen.
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 to enhance safety and prevent cross-contamination.
Energy Efficiency: Powered by an ECM motor, the cabinet offers 70% energy savings compared to conventional AC motors and includes a Night Setback mode to reduce power consumption by 60%.
Construction and Design: Features a single-piece wall and work tray, a raised armrest, and an angled drain pan. The blower plenum and side walls are surrounded by negative pressure to prevent contaminants from escaping.
Standards Compliance: Complies with standards such as ISO 14644.1, JIS K3800, and EN-1822 (H14).
Accessories: Optional accessories include leveling feet stands, caster wheel stands, telescoping feet stands, hydraulic stands, service fixture kits, an IV bar kit, and an air-tight damper.
Technical Specifications Overview: Provides detailed specifications for Class II A2 and B2 Biological Safety Cabinets, including components, performance metrics, and compliance with international standards.
Components and Accessories: Includes damper, thimble exhaust transition, anti blow back flow device, decon bag, air tight cable port, ergonomic foot rest, PVC armrest, and microscope viewing pouch.
Performance and Control Systems: Features inflow velocity of 0.53 m/s and downflow velocity of 0.35 m/s for LA2 models, a large touchpad with color-coded LEDs, and an LCD display for various parameters.
Technical Specifications: Dimensions vary by model size, airflow volumes specified, ULPA filters with >99.999% efficiency, sound emission compliant with standards, and construction from electrogalvanized steel with Isocide coating.
General Performance and Certifications: Meets international standards such as NSF/ANSI 49, JIS K3800, SFDA YY-0569, and EN 12469. Ensures protection from contamination and features energy-efficient ECM motor and automatic airflow maintenance.
Specifications and Design Features: Control panel outside work zone, UV lamps with automatic timer, 10° angled front, angled front grille, offset penetrations, optional mounting stands, and raised armrests.
Certification, Service, and Decontamination: Approved for HPV and formaldehyde decontamination, color-coded panels, components outside contaminated air spaces, and antimicrobial coating.
Control and Alarm System (LA2 and LB2): Managed by a programmable microprocessor control system with features like soft-touch keypad controls, backlit LCD displays, and user-programmable functions.
Control and Alarm System (LR2): Controlled by rocker switches, filter pressure gauge, and manually adjustable mechanical UV timer.
Company Overview: Esco Group is a global provider of life sciences tools, active in lab equipment, pharma equipment, and medical devices, with manufacturing in Asia and Europe and R&D worldwide.

The inflow does not mix with the clean air within the cabinet work zone. A combination of inflow and downflow air streams forms an air barrier that prevents contaminated room air from entering the work zone, and prevents work surface emissions from escaping the work zone. The downflow combined with...
