High-End Biological Safety Cabinets Offer Low Noise and Power Consumption

Telstar has launched its latest range of high quality Class II biological safety cabinets, reportedly designed to provide the highest level of protection for operator, product and environment by minimising hazards inherent to working with agents assigned to biosafety levels 1, 2 and 3. BioVanguard Series is comprised of two different models: BioVanguard and BioVanguard B. BioVanguard is designed for microbiological research with biological agents (bacteria, viruses, etc.) and allergens. BioVanguard B (with additional 1st stage HEPA filtration) is designed for high risk microbiological and highly toxic applications, such as the production of cytotoxic medicines.

According to the company, the BioVanguard Series has been designed in accordance with the highest standards of quality, biological safety, reliability, ergonomics and usability. Possessing all the features of an ergonomic, high quality and performance cabinet, the BioVanguard Series is designed to offer low sound level, low energy consumption and low maintenance costs. In terms of energy efficiency, this range of cabinets has Green Line EC fans, resulting in lower energy consumption (about 30% less than the average biological safety cabinet).

Characteristic features of BioVanguard Series are the ergonomic sloped front window, easy-to-clean sliding/hinged front window, ultra safe multi-shell construction, UV light and gas valve safety control, worktop with air slots, maintenance reducing pre-filter and drip tray, filter clogging compensation and patented 4F System (Fast, Friendly and eFFicient) to support replacement of the filters.

Furthermore, downflow velocity can be set up to 0.45 m/s (according to GMP Annex 1 and PIC regulations) and connections are available for particle count sensor, pressure sensor and temperature/relative humidity sensor.

Today, Telstar is one of the world’s top five manufacturers of biosafety cabinets and one of the top three manufacturers of laboratory freeze dryers. The company holds a 15% share of the world market for biosafety cabinets for laboratories.
