Nuaire NU 425 Class II Type A2 Biosafety Cabinet CLEARANCE! As-Is

The LABGARD ES Model NU-425 Laminar Flow Biological Safety Cabinet (LFBSC) is a bench/table top model, optionally available with a base support stand, for operation as a console model. The LABGARD ES model NU-425 utilizes an Energy Saver DC ECM motor optimally determined forward curved fan for each model size/width to maximize both energy efficiency and filter loading capacity. The Energy Saver ECM motor is controlled via a solid-state DC motor controller that provides automatic compensation (constant volume control) for both filter loading and line voltage variances.

The Laminar Flow Biological Safety Cabinet, (LFBSC) is a product resulting from the development of the "laminar flow" principle and the application of environmental controls as required in the field of biological research or chemical containment. The LFBSC, when used with proper technique, is an effective laboratory aid in obtaining the optimum control over product quality while reducing the potential for exposure of both product and personnel to airborne biological or particulate chemical agents in low to moderate risk-hazard research and drug preparation or product operations, as prescribed by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) Atlanta, Georgia.

The NU-425 bench LFBSC is known as a Class II, Type A2 Biological Safety Cabinet. This is possible since NuAire's cabinet conforms to the following requirements:

1. Maintains inflow velocity of 100 LFPM (.51m/s) through the work access opening.

2. Has HEPA filtered downflow air that is mixed with the inflow air from a common exhaust plenum.

3. Exhaust airflow can either be room re-circulated or exhausted outside using a canopy exhaust transition.

4. Has all biologically contaminated ducts and plenums under negative pressure or surrounded by negative pressure. (Type A1 permits positive pressure contaminated ducts and plenums).

   Cabinets used for work with minute quantities of volatile toxic chemicals and traces amounts of radionuclides required as an adjunct to microbiological studies must be exhausted through properly functioning exhaust canopies.
