The LabGard ES (Energy Saver) Model NU-677 Animal Handling Biological Safety Cabinet, which comes in three sizes, [4 ft., 5 ft. and 6 ft. (1.2 m, 1.5, and 1.8 m)] is a bench top animal handling biosafety cabinet that is designed to give you an optimum amount of control over product quality while simultaneously reducing the potential of exposing either lab personnel or the product to airborne biological or particulate chemical agents. The cabinet is designed for use in low to moderate risk-hazard research and drug preparation or product operations, and its Energy Saver DC ECM motor is used to maximize both energy efficiency and filter loading capacity.
The cabinet is designed with a 12" (305 mm) access opening, which gives you more moveability in the cabinet and makes working within it convenient.
The animal handling biosafety cabinet was designed with flexibility in mind. It is height adjustable, which means you can avoid injuries and ensure your body is comfortable while you work in the lab. The cabinet is also built with casters so that it can be easily moved around the workspace. A built-in pass-through gives you the opportunity to do a safe room-to-room transfer, and a waste station offers access to a waste bin while you work inside of the cabinet. The flexible features of the LabGard cabinet allow you to maximize your workflow in the lab.
Laminar Airflow is key within an animal handling biosafety cabinet for preventing cross contamination. Constant uniform air passes over the work surface in the LabGard ES Energy Saver Class II, Type A2 at an airflow velocity of 60 fpm (0.30 m/s), which helps keep products and lab animals safe.
To protect anyone working in the lab, the animal handling biosafety cabinet has an aerodynamic airfoil on its front. This air barrier with an airflow velocity of 105 fpm (0.53 m/s) helps isolate the work area from the lab.
NuAire wants to ensure your protection in the lab. The 4, 5 and 6-foot models of the LabGard Model NU-677 cabinet are NSF/ANSI 49 listed for biological containment protection, which means both you and your product will stay safe when you use them to work in the lab. NuAire regularly validates the listing, to ensure it is accurate.
The animal biosafety cabinet is outfitted with an ultra-high efficiency Energy Saver motor. This ES motor is intended both to extend filter life and to use less energy overall - helping you reduce operating costs. As an added benefit, the motor produces less heat, which means you will not need to use your HVAC system in the lab.
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.
