Esco Airstream Gen 3 Vertical Laminar Flow Cabinet Model LVG-3AG-F9
Energy-efficient vertical laminar airflow clean bench designed to protect non-hazardous samples in sterile laboratory environments.
The Esco Airstream® Gen 3 LVG-3AG-F9 Vertical Laminar Flow Cabinet is a 3-foot clean bench with a 2.25-foot interior height, engineered to provide ISO Class 4 particle-free airflow for non-hazardous laboratory processes. Designed for product protection only, this vertical laminar flow cabinet delivers uniform, HEPA/ULPA-filtered airflow over the work surface to minimize particulate contamination.
Equipped with Esco’s energy-efficient DC ECM motor technology, the LVG-3AG-F9 reduces power consumption by up to 70% compared to traditional AC motor systems while maintaining quiet, stable performance for daily laboratory use.
Key Features & Benefits
ULPA Filtration for Superior Cleanliness
Provides ISO Class 4 air quality, delivering cleaner conditions than standard HEPA-filtered laminar flow cabinets.
Energy-Efficient DC ECM Motor Technology
Reduces operating costs and heat generation while extending motor life and ensuring consistent airflow performance.
Low-Noise Operation
Quiet operation (approximately 54.5 dBA) supports user comfort and minimizes laboratory fatigue during extended workflows.
Ergonomic, ADA-Compliant Control Panel
Angled, centrally located controls improve visibility, accessibility, and ease of operation.
ISOCIDE™ Antimicrobial Powder Coating
Silver-ion impregnated exterior finish inhibits microbial growth, supporting improved laboratory hygiene.
Applications & Typical Use Cases
The Esco LVG-3AG-F9 Vertical Laminar Flow Cabinet is designed for applications requiring a sterile, particle-free work zone without exposure to hazardous vapors, gases, or biological agents.
Common applications include:
- Microbiology (Non-Pathogenic) – Protects samples during routine handling and preparation.
- Forensics – Maintains clean conditions for evidence handling and examination.
- Sterile Product Compounding – Preserves product integrity during formulation and mixing of non-hazardous materials.
- General Laboratory Sample Preparation – Supports contamination-sensitive workflows across research and industrial labs.
