• Our 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 (not applicable for GAV-6F-D).
• The ergonomically designed work surface with a curved front edge is designed for maximum operator comfort.
• Built-in warm white, electronically ballasted, 5000k lighting provides excellent illumination of the work zone and reduces operator fatigue. The reliable lighting system is zero-flicker and instant start.

Construction

• All clean benches 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. (**Stainless Steel Available)
• Tempered glass is scratch and abrasion resistant, does not create particulates, and is easy to clean.

Airflow

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

Filter

• The enhanced filtration system on the vertical flow clean bench is designed to provide the highest level of air quality within the work zone, meeting all relevant standards (see technical specifications for details).
• All 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), operate at a typical efficiency of >99.999% at 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.
• Vertical flow clean benches incorporate Auto-Purge™ slots at the back of the work zone which eliminate turbulence and enhance product protection.

Blower Efficiency

• Our 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.

Controller

• The Sentinel™ microprocessor-based control system supervises all cabinet functions. The controls are easily configurable to meet user requirements and come equipped with a number of enhanced features.
• Accurate true airflow velocity sensing technology, measures all critical cabinet airflow parameters allowing superior monitoring. Temperature compensated sensors ensure increased accuracy.
• Built-in solid state variable speed controller is superior to conventional "step" controllers and offer infinite adjustment from zero to maximum setting.
• Audible and visual alarms ensure product protection by alerting the user in the event of low airflow.
• A bright, easy-to-read, LED display provides continuous monitoring of clean bench airflow.
