Product Description
Airstream® NS (S-series) G4 Class II Type A2 Biological Safety Cabinet
The Airstream® NS (S-series) G4 protects the operator, the product and the environment in laboratories and industrial facilities. Its DC ECM motor draws only 184 W on the 4 ft unit, up to 70% less than an AC motor, and holds airflow steady through building voltage fluctuations and filter loading. The ULPA filter creates an ISO Class 3 work zone, ten times cleaner than the industry-standard ISO Class 5, with the same 10-year filter life and replacement cost as a HEPA.
Features
 | Centurion Touchscreen Controller 7" screen with a 3D cabinet diagram, alarm-specific instructions and a selectable Quickstart mode. Centered and angled down for easy reach and viewing. |
 | S-Series Construction Stainless steel side walls with side capture zones and negative pressure to optimize containment. Dimmable LED delivers an ideal 1200 lux across the work zone. |
 | Single-Piece Work Tray Spill retaining and easy to clean, with support beams for less vibration and a holder for simple drain pan cleaning. |
 | Raised Ergonomic Arm Rest Durable stainless steel arm rest helps prevent grille blocking and supports a comfortable working posture. |
 | Removable Paper Catch Easy to clean and ready to accept an optional pre-filter. |
 | Energy-Efficient DC ECM Blower Draws only 184 W on the 4 ft unit, up to 70% less than an AC motor, and holds airflow stable through building voltage fluctuations and filter loading. Standby mode cuts consumption a further 60%. |
 | Isocide™ Antimicrobial Powder Coating Silver-ion impregnated powder coat eliminates 99.9% of surface bacteria within 24 hours of exposure. |
