Labculture® Plus Class II, Microbiological Safety Cabinets (D-Series)
The Esco Labculture Plus microbiological safety cabinet (D-Series) provides operator, product and environmental protection against Biosafety Levels 1, 2 and 3.
This cabinet can be used for handling Biosafety Level 4, provided that the operator wears a positive pressure suit.
- The industry’s premier Green Microbiological Safety Cabinet solution.
- HPA (Health Protection Agency, Porton Down, UK) certified to EN 12469.
- New EC Fan Technology provides superior airflow stability and reduces operating costs.
- Dual fan design to enhance safety. If one fan fails, minimal protection is still maintained with only one fan running.
- Ergonomically angled front improves reach and comfort.
- Fully closable, motorized sash provides an airtight seal for better safety when cabinet is inoperative overnight.
- Frameless, shatterproof sash is easier to clean, offers larger, unobstructed viewing area.
- Transparent glass sides provide a comfortable work environment.
- New energy-efficient electronically ballasted instant start T5 lighting.
- Esco next-generation Sentinel™ microprocessor supervises all cabinet functions.
- A large easy-to-read digital display and ergonomically sized touchpad controls improve user interface.
- Unique Dynamic Chamber™ plenum with angled filter delivers superb airflow uniformity.
- Negative pressure plenum surrounds contaminated positive pressure plenum; no fabric bags are used.
- Multi-piece work surface removal simplifies cleaning.
- Raised armrest maintains safety by preventing blockage.
- Esco ISOCIDE antimicrobial coating on all painted surfaces minimizes contamination.
- Dual, long-life ULPA (per IEST-RP-CC001.3) filters for supply and exhaust airflow.
- Independent exhaust sensor mounted exterior to work area.
- Single piece radius corner back wall construction.
- Improved lighting is brighter, more uniform and reduces glare.
- Optional UV lamp operates on programmable timer.
- HPV-compliant and approved for safe decontamination using BIOQUELL and STERIS technologies.
- The front sash is motorized for convenient one-hand operation. The sash control is mounted on the front control panel.
- Integrated sash proximity contacts sense proper sash position, serve as an interlock for the UV lamp, and activate an alarm if the sash is improperly positioned.
- When fully lowered the sash seals automatically against a closed-cell peripheral gasket to isolate the interior and prevent escape of contaminants during decontamination.

- Ambient air is pulled through the perforations located towards the work zone front to prevent contamination of the work surface and work product. The inflow does not mix with the clean air within the cabinet work zone. Inflow air travels through a return path toward the common air plenum (fan plenum) at the top of the cabinet.
- Approximately 33% of the air in the common plenum is exhausted through the ULPA filter to the room. The remaining 67% of the air is passed through the downflow ULPA filter and into the work area 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 with a portion moving toward the front air grille, and the remainder moving to the rear air grille. A small portion of the ULPA filtered downflow enters the intake perforations at the side capture zones at a higher velocity.
- A combination of inflow and downflow air streams forms an air barrier that prevents contaminated room air from entering the work zone, and prevents work surface emissions from escaping the work zone.
- Air returns to the common air plenum where the 33% exhaust and 67% recirculation process is continued.
