The NU-540 integrates a powerful DC ECM motor with flexible plenum into a robust steel structure to provide long-term, cost effective containment configured for basic research and clinical applications.
The NU-540 features a DC ECM motor to economize energy while distributing laminar airflow through a flexible plenum and offering enough power to overcome HEPA filter loading and minimize filter changes. This design provides the user with a work zone whose side and back walls are constructed from a single piece of stainless steel for enhanced containment and easy cleanability. Fluorescent lighting illuminates the procedure inside the cabinet while a dished work tray traps liquid spills and a cord-pass through in the side wall facilitates the use of small electrical devices in the work area. Users easily monitor cabinet performance through the Aeromax control system that displays the pressure in the cabinets internal airflow plenum. The NU-540 is configured to meet the needs of most clinical and research applications, offering containment that meets the NSF/ANSI 49 standard that is followed in most of the Americas.
AeroMax Control System
The AeroMax control system visualizes airflow plenum pressure through a series of multicolored lights and activates both an audible and visual alarm whenever cabinet performance departs from normal parameters.
Ultra High Efficiency Motor
A single DC ECM motor with a precision-engineered forward curved fan powers airflow through the biosafety cabinet. The ultra-high efficiency motor lowers energy costs and reduces noise pollution but is powerful enough to extend filter life. The one motor design allows for easy certification and airflow balancing. In addition, it provides enough power to compensate for HEPA filter loading, reducing filter changes and lowering the total ownership cost.
HEPEX Zero Leak Airflow System
Our signature flexible plenum design complements the ultra-high efficiency motor to uniformly distribute the downflow air across the supply HEPA filter into the work zone in a laminar or unidirectional pattern. The flexible plenum insulates the transmission path of any vibration and noise produced by the motor blower protecting sensitive cells and reducing noise pollution. The HEPEX material is tear and abrasion-resistant, flame retardant, and impermeable to gases, fluids, and dust reducing contamination risks making it the perfect solution for biomedical/microbiological and hazardous drug compounding work. All filter seals are kept under negative pressure. In the event of a potential leak, air will recirculate back through the motor blower and into the plenum.
Monolithic Construction
At the heart of any NuAire biosafety cabinet is its construction. The NuAire design centers on the use of high-quality stainless steel and seam welding to eliminate leak risks that come with the use of multi-piece shells put together with gaskets, sealants, and rivets. The NuAire BSC uses a coved stainless steel interior inserted into a larger wrap that makes up the cabinet walls. The top and bottom catch tray is seam welded into place, creating a monolithic leak-free cabinet shell designed to provide long-lasting maximum safety.
