The console-model LabGard LP (Low-Profile) NU-640 Class II, Type A2 Animal Handling Biosafety Cabinet features the tall work access opening needed to work with large cages in a low-profile configuration designed to fit in vivariums with low ceiling heights. The standard motorized height adjustment eases installation into otherwise inaccessible vivariums and adaptation to individual cabinet users’ ergonomic needs.
A built-in footrest enhances comfort for standing operators. Built for a broad range of cage changing applications, the hinged window with a 14-inch (356mm) access opening allows a technician to introduce rat cages into the work zone with ample arm room to reach the interior area of the cage. The flat work surface can be easily raised and rested on support rods to access and maintain the pre-filter located underneath.
The steel construction of the cabinet forms a core structure that will endure years of use. Simultaneously, an ultra-high efficiency motor located at the bottom of the console design ensures enough reserve power to compensate for filter loading. The Aeromax control system visualizes plenum pressure and cabinet performance through a series of LED lights, raising an alarm if necessary.
