Airstream® Class III Biosafety Cabinet
Esco Airstream Class III biohazard safety cabinets offer the highest level of product, operator and environmental protection from infectious/biohazardous aerosols and are suitable for microbiological work with agents assigned to biological safety levels 1, 2, 3, or 4. Designed for an absolute level of containment, they are frequently used for work involving the deadliest biohazards, bacteria, viruses and microorganisms. Manufactured to meet and exceed the latest Class III biohazard safety cabinet requirements of the EN 12469:2000.
- Exhaust air is double-filtered through high-quality ULPA filters (per IEST-RP-CC-001.3) with typical efficiency of >99.999% for 0.1 to 0.3 micron particles, better than HEPA filters.
- Exclusive dual exhaust filters provide >100,000 times better protection than single-stage designs.
- Microprocessor-based Esco Sentinel™ Silver control system provides visual / audible alarms for airflow.
- Magnehelic pressure gauge* is mounted in the rear of the work zone for at-a-glance monitoring of work zone negative pressure.
- Neoprene™ gauntlets are single piece leak-tested glove assemblies which guarantee maximum protection.
- An integrated pass-through with interlocking doors, permits materials transfer without risk of environmental contamination.
- Esco ISOCIDE antimicrobial surface on all painted surfaces minimizes contamination.
- An angled cabinet front ensures an ergonomic working posture.
- Cabinet operates at negative pressure relative to the laboratory in order to prevent migration of pathogenic materials out of the work area.

- Ambient air is pulled into the cabinet through a disposable pre-filter, trapping larger particles and prolonging the life of main filter. Air is then passed through the downflow ULPA filter into the work zone as a vertical laminar flow air stream, bathing the work surface in clean air.
- The uniform non-turbulent air stream protects against cross contamination within and throughout the work area.
- Near the work surface, the downflow air stream splits and exits the chamber through perforations around the perimeter of the work zone.
- Air from work zone passes through the first ULPA exhaust filter below the work surface, before traveling through internal ducting and exhausting to the laboratory environment after passing through the second ULPA exhaust filter located above the cabinet's main chamber.
