Labculture® Plus Class II Biosafety Cabinet
Based on Esco's internationally-certified Labculture Class II type A2 biosafety cabinet, the Labculture Plus unit features a reduced height profile for low-ceiling laboratories and reduced noise levels. Provides ISO Class 3 cleanliness in workzone through Esco's superior ULPA filters.
- Reduced height profile and noise levels compared with Esco Labculture.
- The front sash is motorized for convenient one touch operation.
- Sentinel™ Gold microprocessor monitors airflow in real-time via temperature compensated sensors and conserves UV lamp life with unique timer function.
- The Accuflow microprocessor based speed controller maintains constant, stable airflow despite building supply voltage fluctuations.
- The angled front, narrow profile front grille, raised armrest and frameless sash create an ergonomic work environment.
- ULPA filters (per IEST-RP-CC-001.3) are tested to a typical efficiency of 99.999% for 0.1 to 0.3 micron particulates - better than HEPA filters.
- Unique Esco Dynamic Chamber™ plenum. Negative pressure plenum surrounds contaminated positive pressure plenum; no fabric bags are used.
- Includes multi-piece tray components which lift and remove to provide easy access, encourage surface decontamination and can be sterilized inside an autoclave.
- Esco Isocide™ antimicrobial coating on all painted surfaces minimizes contamination.

- 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 (blower plenum) at the top of the cabinet.
- Approximately 32% of the air in the common plenum is exhausted through the ULPA filter to the room. The remaining 68% 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 (small blue arrows).
- 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 32% exhaust and 68% recirculation process is continued.
