Performance

• ISO Class 4 Cleanliness: Equipped with an ISO class 4 (US Class 10) HEPA filter for optimal protection against cross-contamination, ensuring superior air cleanliness.
• Efficient Particle Removal: Removes 99.99% of particulates 0.3 μm or larger using a highly efficient, leak-tight HEPA filter, compliant with US Federal Standard 209E.
  • HEPA Filter Life Span: Average lifespan of 3 years (depending on workspace conditions).
• Pre-Filter System: High-quality polyester fiber pre-filter with minimal pressure loss (85% arrestant on the A.F.I test) traps larger particles, extending the lifespan of the HEPA filter.
• Laminar Flow Design: Exclusive diffusing muffler structure ensures consistent, high-quality laminar airflow for maintaining a sterile workspace.
• Quiet Operation: Operates at noise levels below 65dB, creating a quiet, comfortable environment for users.

Convenience and User-Friendly Features

• Differential Pressure Gauge: Built-in gauge allows easy monitoring of HEPA filter performance.
• Easy Filter Replacement: Front-access cartridge-style filters simplify maintenance and replacement.
• Blower Speed Control: Adjustable blower speed via an intuitive control panel to suit specific operational needs.
• Durable Work Surface: Made of rust-free, easy-to-clean grade 304 brushed stainless steel for long-lasting use.
• Magnetic Board: Internal magnetic sideboard for attaching memos, tools, or small accessories.
• Ample Lighting: The work area is illuminated by two electronically ballasted 30W fluorescent lamps, providing an intensity of > 650 lux for excellent visibility.

Safety Features

• UV Protection: UV-blocking, impact-resistant tempered glass door safeguards users from harmful exposure.
• Automatic UV Lamp Shutoff: The UV lamp automatically turns off if the sash is opened, protecting users from direct UV exposure.
• Lighting Options: A 3-position toggle switch allows selection between UV, fluorescent, or off modes to prevent accidental UV exposure.
• Sliding Front Door: Smooth-sliding sash can be stopped at any height for user safety and easy equipment transfer into the bench.
• Over-Current Protection: Built-in safety mechanisms protect against electrical over-current, ensuring operational reliability.
