The unique Dynamic Chamber™ plenum with angled filter delivers superb airflow uniformity, and a Negative pressure plenum surrounds the contaminated positive pressure plenum;

Esco Labculture Plus Cabinets offer the best energy efficiency of any microbiological safety cabinet on the world market for lowest total lifecycle costs. Its dual EC Fan system operates at 232 Watts (1.2m cabinet, dual exhaust filter).

Labculture® Lead-Shielded Class II Microbiological Safety Cabinet (for work involving radioisotopes)

The Esco Labculture lead-shielded Class II Microbiological Safety Cabinet is designed for radiopharmaceutical industry usage and protects the operator during work involving radioisotopes.

The unit features 3mm lead shielding in the sides and base, with a sliding, radiation proof glass screen also providing 3mm lead equivalence. Increased levels of radiation protection can be provided.

Exhaust air is double HEPA filtered allowing safe change of filters without prior decontamination, and a HEPA downflow filter provides ISO class 3 cleanliness within the workzone. KI (potassium iodide) impregnated carbon filters can be fitted for Iodine adsorption.

Infinity® Class II Microbiological Safety Cabinet

The Infinity is the industries Premier Microbiological Safety solution from Esco, with a multitude of features including ISOCIDE antimicrobial coating, motorized, frameless sliding sash, ergonomically angled front, raised armrest, single piece worksurface with sump, integrated VHP decontamination port and many other features.

The unique Dynamic Chamber™ plenum with angled filter delivers superb airflow uniformity with deviation no greater than 6% of average downflow, exceeding European Standard EN 12469 by more than three times.

The Infinity features a dual fan design for guaranteed safety. If one fan fails, minimal protection is still maintained with only one fan running.

ESCO's next-generation Sentinel™ microprocessor supervises all cabinet functions, whilst the large, easy-to-read digital display and ergonomically sized touchpad controls improve user interface.

Airstream® Class III Microbiological Safety Cabinet

The Airstream Class III Microbiological Safety Cabinet provides absolute protection from infectious/biohazardous aerosols and is suitable for microbiological work.

Exclusive dual exhaust filters provide more than 100,000 times better protection than single-stage designs.

Features include ISOCIDE antimicrobial coating on all painted surfaces, Microprocessor-based, ESCO Sentinel Silver control system to provide audio/visual alarms for airflow, and Magnehelic gauges mounted at the rear of the work zone for at-a-glance monitoring of the work zone negative pressure

The Airstream Class III Microbiological Safety Cabinet includes neoprene gauntlets, and an integrated pass-through with interlocking doors to permit material transfer without risk of environmental contamination.

Esco Formalin Vaporizer for Decontamination of Biosafety Cabinets

The Esco Formalin Vaporizer (FVP-00X) is a microprocessor-controlled unit that simplifies and automates the decontamination process for all sizes and makes of biohazard safety cabinets. This also increases safety for the decontamination operator and laboratory personnel since no manual intervention is required during the entire process. The unit enables decontamination to be accomplished by the standard protocol as recommended in EN12469 (European standard for microbiological safety cabinets) with formalin and ammonia solutions.
