Product catalog summary
Main Features
  • The cabinet operates with ultra-low noise and energy efficiency, consuming 190 Watts, which reduces to 80 Watts in Half Speed Mode.
  • It includes an ECM blower from EBM-Papst Germany for consistent airflow and operates quietly at 51 dBA.
  • Key features include a Zero Volt Relay Contact, Esco Sentinel™ Gold microprocessor, and RS 232 data output port for remote monitoring.
  • The Esco Dynamic Chamber™ plenum design ensures uniform airflow, and dual ULPA filters provide high filtration efficiency for both supply and exhaust airflow.
  • The ergonomic design includes a motorized sash and transparent side windows for enhanced comfort and visibility.
Containment and Protection
  • The cabinet uses a combination of supply and exhaust ULPA filters for comprehensive protection.
  • Inflow air enters through the front grille to prevent contamination, and a precision-tuned airflow path ensures an optimal air curtain for protection.
Integrated Filtration System
  • Independent supply and exhaust filters offer 99.999% efficiency for particles between 0.1 to 0.3 microns.
  • The modern separatorless mini-pleat filter construction maximizes surface area and filter life, providing ISO Class 3 clean air and trapping biohazard particles.
Fan System
  • The high-performance ECM fan is energy-efficient and quiet, with an integral fan hour meter for maintenance planning.
Sentinel™ Microprocessor Control System
  • This system supervises cabinet functions with a user-friendly control panel and continuous airflow monitoring.
Cabinet Construction
  • The cabinet is robustly constructed with stainless steel work surfaces and an antimicrobial coating, allowing easy access for cleaning and decontamination.
Comfortable Ergonomic Design
  • Features include an angled viewing window and narrow profile front grille for improved reach and comfort, along with an instant-start fluorescent lamp for uniform lighting and reduced glare.
Electrical Safety and Certification
  • Each cabinet is factory tested for electrical safety and meets applicable standards.
Warranty and Accessories
  • The cabinet comes with a 4-year warranty, excluding consumable parts and accessories, and offers various support stands and utility fixtures.

Cabinet Filtration System Dynamic air barrier, inflow and forward-directed downflow air converge Ambient air is pulled through the perforations located towards the work zone front to prevent contamination of the work surface and work product. The inflow air does not mix with the clean air within the cabinet work zone. Inflow air travels through a return path toward the common air plenum (blower plenum) at the top of the cabinet. The uniform, non-turbulent air stream protects against cross contamination within and throughout the work area. ULPA-filtered air Unfiltered / potentially contaminated...
