Our laminar flow clean benches are the premium selection for the discerning researcher. Offering a combination of value, high quality construction, low operating noise levels in a wide product range to suit all budgets, from the industry leader.

Designed and Built for Enhanced Usability

• Esco laminar flow clean benches incorporate a number of features to ensure operator comfort and enhanced productivity.
• The clean bench work surface is constructed of stainless steel, making the work zone easy to clean. The interior surface will not chip, rust or generate particles.
• The spillage-retention work top design with a recessed central area ensures that all liquid spills are contained.
• The ergonomically designed work surface with a curved front edge is designed for maximum operator comfort. A raised edge at the back of the work zone prevents spills from damaging the filter.
• The instant-start 5000k warm white lighting operates on an electronic ballast to reduce heat, improve comfort and conserve energy.

User-Friendly Control System

• Built-in solid state variable speed controller is superior to conventional "step" controllers and offer infinite adjustment from zero to maximum setting.
• Standard cabinet control system consists of separate switches for blower, lights, UV light (UV light switch is interlocked with the light and blower switch for enhanced safety), and socket plus a pressure gauge for filter monitoring.

Enhanced Filtration System

• The enhanced filtration system on the GAH-B series is designed to provide the highest level of air quality within the work zone, meeting all relevant standards (see technical specifications for details).
• All Esco laminar flow clean benches provide ISO Class 3 air cleanliness within the work zone as per ISO 14644.1, significantly cleaner than the usual Class 5 classification on cabinets offered by the competition.
• High quality ULPA filters, utilizing an improved mini-pleat separation technique to maximize surface area improving efficiency and extending the life of the filter. ULPA filters operate at a typical efficiency of >99.999% on 0.1 to 0.3 micron sizes, providing superior protection over conventional HEPA filters.
• An additional disposable pre-filter on all models traps large particles in the inflow air prior to reaching the main filter, protecting it against damage and prolonging its life.
• Intergral filter metal guard on the ULPA filter prevents accidental damage to the filter media; seamless filter gasket is permanently molded on the filter frame and will not deteriorate over time; aerosol (DOP/PAO) challenge test port included.

Airflow

• "Blue Box" ULPA-Filtered Air
• "Red Box" Unfiltered / Potentially contaminated Air
• "Green Box" Room Air / Inflow Air

Controller

• Rocker Switch and Minihelic Gauge
• Built-in solid state variable speed controller is superior to conventional "step" controllers and offer infinite adjustment from zero to maximum setting.
• Standard cabinet control system consists of separate switches for blower, lights, UV light (UV light switch is interlocked with the light and blower switch for enhanced safety), and socket plus a pressure gauge for filter monitoring.

The Highest Quality Cabinet Construction

• All Esco products are manufactured for the most demanding laboratory applications.
• All components are designed for maximum chemical resistance and enhanced durability for a long service life.
• The main body of the clean bench is constructed of industrial-grade electrogalvanized steel.
• All cabinet components are clean room compatible.
• Isocide eliminates 99.9% of surface bacteria within 24 hours of exposure.
• Transparent tempered glass side panels enhance visibility and create a more comfortable work environment for the operator as opposed to conventional stainless steel or painted steel sides.
• Tempered glass is scratch and abrasion resistant, does not create particulates, and is easy to clean.

Blower Efficiency

• Esco laminar flow clean benches incorporate permanently lubricated direct drive centrifugal blowers.
• The energy efficient external rotor motor design reduces operating costs and has extremely low noise and vibration.
• The intelligent blower system compensates airflow as the filter becomes loaded, ensuring optimum efficiency and product protection.

Designed and Built to Exceed Safety Criteria

• All components used in Esco products meet or exceed all applicable safety requirements.
• Each cabinet is individually factory tested for safety and performance in accordance with international standards.
• UL listed or UL recognized, electrical components ensures superior electrical safety for the operator.
• All Esco laminar flow clean benches meet general safety requirements set by independent testing laboratories (see technical specifications for details).
• All models have been type tested to the EN 12469:2000 for cross contamination and product protection using microbiological testing methods.
