The ESCO Airstream® NS G4 Class II Type A2 Biological Safety Cabinet is an NSF-certified unit equipped with the Centurion Touchscreen controller. Designed for laboratory use, the cabinet features dimmable LED illumination and a raised, stainless-steel armrest for user comfort. Two model variants are available: the S-Series has stainless steel side walls with side capture zones and a single-piece work tray that is designed to retain spills, while the E-Series comes with tempered glass side walls and a multi-piece, autoclavable work tray. Each variant is available in three-, four-, five-, and six-foot configurations. Both models provide filtration efficiency that is 10 times higher than standard HEPA filters, establishing an ISO Class 3 work zone instead of the more common ISO Class 5. Despite this increased efficiency, the filter has a lifespan of 10 years, with replacement costs equivalent to HEPA filters. The cabinet's design prioritizes safety, while also considering space constraints in laboratory settings. The Centurion Touchscreen Controller adds a layer of operational clarity for users.
