Viva Universal Access Animal Containment Workstation, Model VA2-4A_. Universal Animal Containment Workstation The Safety Solution for Animal Research Laboratories

Main Features Provides Class II biological safety cabinet protection. Unique Dynamic Chamber™ plenum delivers quiet, uniform airflow. Negative pressure plenum surrounds contaminated positive pressure plenum; no fabric bags are used. Long-life ULPA filters for supply and exhaust airflow. (IEST-RP-CC001.3) Sentinel™ microprocessor, programmable, supervises all cabinet functions. Frameless, shatterproof sash is easier to clean, offers larger, unobstructed viewing area. Ergonomically angled front improves reach and comfort. Angled supply filter matches cabinet profile to achieve best downflow uniformity....

Touchpad data entry buttons permit control settings and access to diagnostics, default settings and hierarchical menus. Color coded indicator lamps display green for primary function (fan operation); blue for secondary function (fluorescent lights and electrical outlet); and orange for caution (UV lamp ON). Sentinel Microprocessor Control System, Programmable • The laminar airflow system creates a recirculating vertical flow of ISO Class 3 clean air across the work surface per ISO14644.1. • A large 305 mm (12") sash opening accommodates standard size animal cages, provides ample room for surgical...

Cabinet Airflow System A m b i e n t a i r p u l l e d t h r o u g h t h e perforations towards the work zone front prevents contamination of the work surface and work product. The inflow 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. Approximately 40% of the air in the common plenum is exhausted through the ULPA filter to the room. The remaining 60% of the air is passed through the downflow ULPA filter and into the work area as a vertical laminar flow air stream bathing...
