Product Description
VIVA® G4 Class II Type A2 Animal Biosafety Cabinet
The Esco VIVA G4 is a Class II Type A2 biological safety cabinet built specifically for animal research. A 12" sash working height clears mouse and rat cages, while ULPA filtration and ELISA-verified containment shield the operator from animal dander, allergens, anesthetic gases and pathogens during handling. Personnel, product and environmental protection meet NSF/ANSI 49 for this model.
Key Features
 | Centurion 7" Capacitive Touchscreen All safety information on one screen, with 3D illustration of cabinet parameters, large glove-friendly buttons and self-guidance for specific situations. Angled down for easy reading. |
 | 12" Sash Working Height A 305 mm working opening sized for mouse and rat cages, with a maximum sash opening of 575 mm for loading and cleaning. |
 | ULPA Filtration, ISO Class 3 Ten times the filtration efficiency of HEPA, creating an ISO Class 3 work zone instead of the industry-standard ISO Class 5. Same ten-year filter life and replacement cost as HEPA. |
 | Dimmable LED Lighting At least 1000 lux (93 foot candles) across the work zone, dimmable to reduce glare and optimize comfort during long procedures. |
 | USB Port and Zero Volt Relay Contact USB port sends operational data to a Building Management System. The zero volt relay turns the exhaust blower on and off and signals the building alarm. |
 | User-Friendly Work Tray Largest usable area in the class, recessed to contain spillage, with a sloped perimeter for easy cleaning and support beams that spread the load evenly for less vibration. |
 | Isocide™ Antimicrobial Coating Silver-ion impregnated powder coat on the external body inhibits microbial growth on cabinet surfaces. |
