Certificates and Conformity
Our Biological Safety Cabinets are manufactured in accordance with internationally recognized standards, including EN 61010-1:2010/A1:2019 for electrical safety and EN 12469:2000 for microbiological performance. They are also approved for sale in South Africa under a valid NRCS Sales Permit in line with VC8041, confirming adherence to national safety requirements for microbiological safety cabinets.
Efficient EC Fan System
The energy-saving EC fan delivers 30% to 60% more efficiency than traditional AC motors. Its automatic resistance compensation keeps air velocity stable, even when filter resistance increases by up to 300%.
High-Efficiency HEPA Filtration
A built-in HEPA filter provides over 99.99% efficiency at 0.3 µm, maintaining ISO Class 5 clean air standards. For labs needing higher performance, an optional UPLA filter is also available.
Comfort-Focused Ergonomic Design
The 5° backward-slanted safety glass improves visibility and posture during work. Raised armrests prevent grille blockage, and the sash allows single-hand operation. Integrated backlit lighting reduces visual fatigue over long periods.
Smart Microprocessor Controls
The large LCD display offers real-time safety monitoring. It includes visual and audible alarms for HEPA filter failure or damage, keeping users informed and safe throughout operation.
Clean and Safe Internal Working Area
Three arc-shaped interior walls make cleaning simple and efficient. A negative pressure airflow design prevents contaminants from escaping. Paper collectors reduce maintenance linked to waste inhalation, while removable trays and surfaces ensure effortless cleaning.
