Custom Lab Equipment for Your Unique Needs

Innovation doesn’t have standard dimensions—so your biosafety enclosure shouldn’t either. NuAire creates purpose-built containment and clean airflow solutions engineered around your workflow, not the other way around.

Custom Laboratory Equipment

Why Choose Custom Solutions

Built for Your Process

Standard cabinets often force users to adapt to the enclosure. At NuAire, we reverse that approach. Your process drives our design. Whether you're performing repetitive manual procedures or managing sensitive sample prep, NuAire custom cabinets are engineered to support how you work—comfortably, efficiently, and safely. Purpose-driven features include: - Customized access openings for easier material handling - Ergonomic design to reduce strain during long procedures - External waste pass-throughs for safer, cleaner workflows - Integrated features like IV bars, shelving, or microscope windows “A biosafety cabinet should be a tool—not an obstacle.”

Protection Doesn’t Have Standard Dimensions

Automation and precision workflows demand more than off-the-shelf solutions. Standard biosafety cabinets may limit safety and efficiency by forcing equipment or users to fit into rigid designs. At NuAire, we believe containment should adapt to your process—not the other way around.

Built for Automation

Automated lab instruments come in all shapes and sizes—and so should the enclosures that protect them. Traditional cabinets often: - Lack the width, depth, or height to support airflow around large equipment - Struggle to support the instrument’s weight - Offer insufficient access for power and data connections NuAire custom cabinets solve these issues with: - Wider, deeper work zones engineered for proper airflow - Reinforced work surfaces that support heavy automation - Custom cord pass-throughs for cabling and connectivity - Hinged windows to simplify equipment installation Custom cabinets are purpose-built to meet the size and support needs of your instruments.

Optimized for People

Humans weren’t made to work inside a box—and your biosafety cabinet shouldn’t feel like one. Standard designs can create awkward, inefficient environments for manual processes. Poor ergonomics, tight access, and limited waste disposal options turn routine tasks into obstacles. Custom solutions improve technician comfort and workflow by: - Designing access openings to match your movement - Allowing external pass-throughs for safe, efficient waste disposal - Providing space and layout tailored to your SOPs A biosafety cabinet should be a tool, not a barrier.

Comfort, Containment, and Customization

Whether you're integrating robotic arms or managing a complex compounding process, NuAire builds enclosures that support—not restrict—your work. Let your process define the cabinet—not the other way around.

FAQ Customs

Why choose a custom biosafety cabinet instead of a standard one?

Standard cabinets often fail to accommodate large or complex automation equipment. Custom NuAire cabinets are engineered to fit specific workflows, ensuring optimal airflow performance and safety by eliminating turbulence caused by oversized or obstructive instruments.

How does NuAire ensure safety in custom designs?

NuAire custom cabinets comply with NSF/ANSI 49 standards for containment and safety. Designs undergo rigorous airflow validation, and custom units can include smoke visualization tests to ensure airflow is not compromised by the client's equipment.

Can custom biosafety cabinets fit through standard doorways?

Yes. NuAire's engineers take delivery and installation into account, designing modular or multi-piece cabinets that can fit through standard lab doorways, helping avoid costly construction changes.

What equipment can be integrated inside NuAire’s custom cabinets?

Custom cabinets can house:

  • Robotic liquid handlers
  • TPN compounders
  • Cell culture systems
  • High-throughput screening platforms
  • Analytical instruments

Features like reinforced work surfaces, cord pass-throughs, and hinged windows ensure mechanical and functional compatibility.

What material options are available?

Work zones and exterior panels are typically constructed from Type 316 stainless steel for corrosion resistance and cleanability. Other material options may be used based on environmental or chemical compatibility.

Can NuAire perform airflow validation with the customer’s equipment installed?

Yes. NuAire offers airflow smoke visualization testing with your equipment in place. This helps in meeting field certification standards and assures proper airflow is maintained post-installation.

Are NuAire custom BSCs compliant with GMP and global standards?

NuAire custom biosafety cabinets are designed to meet the requirements of regulatory frameworks such as EU GMP Annex 1, ISO 14644, and NSF/ANSI 49, but NuAire does not hold these certifications on behalf of the end user or facility. It is the responsibility of the end user to validate the cabinet within their qualified environment to ensure full compliance. However, NuAire supports this process by providing documentation, airflow testing, and design features that facilitate regulatory alignment.

How does the custom design process work?

The process includes:

  • NDA for proprietary info
  • Engineering interviews
  • Iterative CAD model development
  • Customer sign-off
  • Manufacturing in NuAire’s Minnesota facility

This collaborative method ensures the solution fits both workflow and compliance needs.

Can NuAire provide a custom solution for pharmaceutical or OEM partners?

Yes. NuAire designs OEM-compatible solutions tailored for seamless integration with existing systems, such as automated drug compounding or assay prep platforms.

What are the lead times for custom solutions?

Lead times vary based on project complexity but typically range from 10 to 26 weeks. NuAire’s custom product team helps expedite timelines through early collaboration and in-house engineering expertise.
