The progress is made while maintaining the numerous features that make Labculture® the Most Certified Energy Efficient, Safe and Ergonomic Biosafety Cabinet in the World.

Labculture® Class II Type A2 Biological Safety Cabinets Features:

• Innovative, state-of-the-art, and efficient DC ECM motor automatically compensates for changes in filter loading to optimize filter life while maintaining performance.
• ULPA Filter technology (99.999% efficiency) (per IEST-RP-CC001.3 USA) provides up to 10x better filtering capability than ordinary HEPA filters (99.99% efficiency) for greater product, personnel, and environmental protection.
• External surfaces are powder coated with ISOCIDE™ to eliminate 99.9% of surface bacteria within 24 hours of exposure.
• Sentinel™ Gold Microprocessor controller with Airflow Sensor and Safety Alarms displays safety information on a single screen with excellent readability.
• Night setback mode can be activated at non-operational hour to reduce power consumption by about 60% while maintaining containment.
