Airstream® Class II Biological Safety Cabinet (E-Series)
The Esco Airstream Class II Biological
Safety Cabinet is a cost effective solution to providing operator,
product and environmental protection within laboratories and industrial
facilities. The Airstream features the use of 2 ULPA filters to deliver
ISO Class 3 air cleanliness to the work zone.
The Esco Airstream
Class II Biological Safety Cabinet has been independently certified and
type-tested by Health Protection Agency (HPA, formerly CAMR, the Centre
for Applied Microbiological Research, Porton Down, Salisbury, UK) for
compliance with the Class II requirements of the EN12469:2000 (European
standard for microbiological safety cabinets). The type-testing
performed included stringent evaluations of cabinet airflows,
containment, and operator comfort factors.

- 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.
- 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 purple 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.
- Optimized air curtain maintains personnel and product protection even in the unlikely event of inflow and downflow imbalance that would compromise protection on a conventional cabinet.
