Lab Companion BC-01B Clean Bench

Discover the Lab Companion BC-01B Clean Bench, a vertical laminar flow hood engineered for superior performance, convenience, and safety in a controlled laboratory environment.

Exceptional Performance and Air Purity The BC-01B is designed to provide an ultra-clean workspace, crucial for sensitive applications. Its performance is centered around a high-efficiency HEPA filter system that ensures optimal protection against cross-contamination.

• ISO Class 4 Air Cleanliness: The work area maintains an ISO Class 4 (equivalent to US Federal Standard 209E Class 10) environment, ensuring your work is protected from airborne contaminants.
• Advanced HEPA Filtration: The main HEPA filter is leak-tight and removes 99.99% of particulates 0.3 μm and larger, guaranteeing a sterile workflow. It has an average lifespan of three years, dependent on lab conditions.
• High-Quality Pre-filter: A polyester fiber pre-filter traps larger particles, extending the life of the main HEPA filter and maintaining efficiency with minimal pressure loss.
• Superior Laminar Flow: An exclusive diffusing muffler structure creates a uniform, high-quality vertical laminar flow across the entire work surface, preventing turbulence and sample contamination.
• Quiet Operation: Engineered for a comfortable working environment, the unit operates at a noise level of less than 65dB.

User-Friendly Convenience and Design Every feature of the BC-01B is designed to streamline your workflow and simplify maintenance.

• Easy Monitoring: A built-in differential pressure gauge allows for at-a-glance checking of the HEPA filter's condition, letting you know when it's time for a replacement.
• Simple Maintenance: Filters are designed as easy-to-access cartridges, allowing for quick and hassle-free replacement from the front of the unit.
• Adjustable Airflow: The blower speed can be easily adjusted via the intuitive control panel to meet the specific needs of your application.
• Durable Work Surface: The work surface is constructed from grade 304 stainless steel, which is highly durable, rust-proof, and easy to clean and decontaminate.
• Thoughtful Details: A magnetic board on the inner left side provides a convenient spot for posting notes or holding small metallic tools.

Uncompromised Safety Features The BC-01B prioritizes user safety without compromising functionality.

• UV Protection: The front sash is made from UV-blocking, impact-resistant 5mm tempered glass. For added protection, the UV lamp automatically shuts off if the sash is opened during operation.
• Safe Lighting Control: A 3-position toggle switch (UV / Off / Fluorescent) prevents accidental exposure to harmful UV rays.
• Flexible and Safe Access: The smoothly sliding front door can be stopped at any height, ensuring user safety and allowing for easy transport of equipment into and out of the workspace.
• Electrical Safety: The unit is equipped with protection against over-current.
