The Sentinel Gold microprocessor controller displays all safety information on one screen. It is centered and angled down for easy reach and viewing, and has a selectable Quickstart mode for fast operation.
The DC ECM motor provides 70% energy savings compared to AC motor; stable airflow, despite building voltage fluctuations & filter loading; and Night Setback mode to further reduce power consumption by 60%.
ULPA filters have 10x filtration efficiency of HEPA filters and creates an ISO Class 3 work zone instead of the industry-standard ISO Class 5. HEPA filters only offer 99.99% typical efficiency at 0.3 micron, while ULPA filters provide 99.999% typical efficiency for particle sizes of 0.1 to 0.3 micron.
The ISOCIDE powder coat is silver-ion impregnated which inhibits microbial growth to improve safety.
The design of the Esco Labculture biosafety cabinet was optimized to give large performance envelope, that provides operator and product protection at wide inflow and downflow variation from the nominal point.
Ambient air is pulled through the front grill to create inflow, without going into the work surface. Inflow is joined by half of the downflow, to create front air curtain that is fine-tuned to create a large performance envelope. The combined air stream travels through the back air column towards the blower.
Approximately ⅓ of the air in the common plenum is exhausted through the ULPA filter to the room. The remaining ⅔ of the air is passed through the downflow ULPA filter and into the work area as a vertical laminar flow air to create ISO Class 3 work surface and prevents cross contamination.
Near the work surface, the downflow splits. About half goes to the front grill, and half goes to the rear grill. A small portion enters the side capture zones to prevent dead air corners.
Our technicians test each bio safety cabinet to ensure that the controls and blower motor work properly. Unless otherwise specified all bio safety cabinets come with new HEPA filters installed by our technicians at our facility prior to shipment. Our testing procedure includes all the elements of a bio safety cabinet certification in order to ensure that the unit will pass certification once it is at your site.
The photos above are representative. Please bear in mind that the equipment shown is currently in storage in our warehouse and that in addition to testing each machine we will clean all the equipment thoroughly prior to shipment. We often have multiple units of each model in stock and sometimes we're unable to feature photos of every single unit. At your request, we can provide photos of the equipment in your order after it has been tested and cleaned.

FAQ
Does the equipment come with a warranty?
Yes, all equipment from American Instrument Exchange comes with a warranty. Used/reconditioned/refurbished equipment is tested to make sure it operates to the manufacturer’s specifications and comes with a 90-day warranty (unless otherwise noted). New equipment comes with a warranty from the manufacturer.
How do you test and recondition the equipment?
Testing requirements vary across all the equipment categories we sell. Temperature controlled units are tested with NIST traceable probes and data loggers. Gaskets, external housing, glass, handles, controls and control screens are all thoroughly inspected for integrity and functionality. We test all equipment using the manufacturer's parameters and specifications to confirm that the unit operates properly. While we may not be able to test for specific analytical applications we do our best to simulate the conditions under which the equipment will be used in your lab. If you have particular testing requirements please let us know and we’ll work with you to make sure these are addressed during testing.
How do products ship from American Instrument Exchange?
We can ship products both nationally and internationally using a well-established network of transporters. Smaller items will ship via UPS. Larger equipment will be palletized and shipped either LTL or air-ride, depending on the specific equipment and/or delivery requirements. In many cases we can offer inside delivery. Customers are also welcome to make pick-up arrangements using their own preferred carrier.
All shipments are FOB Haverhill, MA. American Instrument Exchange will take reasonable steps to protect the equipment during shipment and the equipment will be fully insured. The customer will be charged for all shipping and handling charges, and fees incurred in the process of delivering the order.
For local customers in and around New England we can offer shipping and delivery using a local moving company trained by our staff to handle and deliver lab equipment. Our local movers can provide either standard dock-to-dock delivery or bring the equipment into your lab and set it in place.
Prior to signing the POD (Proof of Delivery), you are responsible for inspecting the goods for any damage. You MUST note any damage on the POD prior to letting the driver leave. This is to protect you, the receiver of the goods in the unlikely event of any damage. Once you sign the POD free and clear from damage, the goods are then deemed delivered in good order and no further claims would be applicable. This is the standard for all transportation so we want to protect you, our valued client.
Return and order cancellation policy
American Instrument Exchange will accept the return of any product that is not working as represented and could not be replaced or repaired to the customer’s satisfaction by American Instrument or a technician hired by/vetted by American Instrument Exchange’s during the warranty period. The customer will be responsible for proper packaging of the equipment and all included accessories.
Customers who cancel orders after refurbishing has begun or after delivery where there are no equipment performance issues will be subject to a cancellation and restocking fee of between 20% and 40% and responsible for the full total of the shipping & handling costs for both the delivery and the return of the equipment.
Are discounts available for educational or non-profit institutions, or for bulk purchases?
Yes – call or email us today with a list of equipment you’re looking for and we can potentially put together a quote that includes a discount.
How does your price matching policy work?
We strive to keep our pricing competitive and reasonable. If you find comparable items for sale at a lower price from other vendors please send us a link and or quote for the item and we’ll do our best to match or beat the price.
