LabGard® model NU-540 is available in four different widths 3 foot (0.9 m), 4 foot (1.2 m), 5 foot (1.5 m), and 6 foot (1.8 m) ensuring there is a cabinet size that fits your application and laboratory.
Unidirectional airflow moving along parallel flow lines at a constant velocity of 60 fpm (0.30 m/s) minimizes air turbulence within the work zone lessening the chance of cross contamination.
A steady inflow air velocity of 105 fpm (0.53 m/s) over an aerodynamic airfoil creates an active air barrier offering maximum personnel protection.
A large user-friendly work zone offers more usable space while making the farthest corners easier to reach.
LabGard® Biological Safety Cabinets are constructed from 16/18 gauge, type 304 stainless steel welded together as a uniform, monolithic shell. The work zone features a coved back-wall insert welded into place creating double wall construction adding to the cabinet's integrity. LabGard® is Silicone Free and designed to provide long lasting safety.
AeroMax™ ECS provides user-friendly control systems that monitors and displays airflow performance via PressureFlow™ - A Digital Pressure Monitor.
nitecare™ Night Setback Mode - Upon sliding the window sash into the closed position, the motor blower will continue to operate at a lower rate to save energy and maintain interior clean air conditions ready for use upon window sash opening.
An ultra-high efficiency ECM motor combined with the appropriately sized fan blade lowers energy usage while extending the life of filters. LabGard® offers the lowest total cost of ownership compared to other models.
A vacuum surrounds all LabGard® positive pressure plenums relative to the room. In the event of a leak via gasket failure, all contaminated air in the plenum is forced through HEPA filtration. The HEPEX™ system also works to provide accurate laminar airflow by evenly distributing plenum air over the supply HEPA filter. The flexible design eliminates any vibration transfer from the motor blower as well as creates a serviceable work environment for Certifiers after decontamination.
We at NuAire® have designed each LabGard® Biosafety Cabinet to be service friendly. 95% of service functions are performed at the front of the cabinet. A flip down control panel creates a workable tray for service technicians. Access filters and the motor blower from the front of the cabinet with the removal of a safety panel.
When it comes time for service, make it easy with our DECON101™ System. The DECON101™ System works with a variety of decontamination systems using Formaldehyde, Chlorine Dioxide or Vapor Phase Hydrogen Peroxide.
NuAire® utilizes an independent network of sales and service professionals offering our customers a vast array of knowledge and relationships.
