The Esco Airstream® Gen 3 Class II (AC2) Biological Safety Cabinet is an effective solution for protecting the operator, products and the environment. It also has a stable and automatically compensated air flow, unaffected by fluctuations in the mains supply voltage and regardless of the load on the filter. The EN 12469-certified Esco Airstream® Class II biological safety box also features an antimicrobial coating on all exterior and interior painted surfaces for enhanced safety.
Characteristics of class II biological safety boxes Esco Airstream®:
- Sentinel™ Gold microprocessor controller.
- The energy-efficient DC-ECM motor provides up to 70% energy savings compared to an AC motor.
- ULPA filter efficiency: 99.999% for particles between 0.1 and 0.3 microns, which is 10 times better than a HEPA filter.
- Stable air flow, despite fluctuations in the mains voltage and the degree of filter loading.
- The frame-less ergonomic front panel is angled for more comfortable operation, reduced glare and increased viewing area.
- The IsocideTM powder coating prevents bacterial growth on external surfaces, protecting against contamination and increasing safety.
Series AC2-E SERIES
It has side walls made of tempered glass, which improves visibility and prevents the operator from feeling “trapped”. This unit also features a multi-section, autoclavable work tray for an easy cleaning process.
AC2-S series
It has a one-piece stainless steel work surface with rounded corners for easy cleaning. Negative pressure stainless steel side walls optimize retention.
