The new CellGard HD ES NU-481 Laminar Flow Class II, Type A2, Biological Safety Cabinet offers personnel, product and environmental protection for handling of hazardous particulate drugs and powders. ISO Class 5 sterility and protection for your valuable in process work materials.

True Laminar airflow provides a sterile environment that minimizes cross contamination. A strong air barrier 105fpm (0.53 m/s) protects the end user from hazardous materials in the work zone. Multiple oval HEPA pre-filters provide the primary means for particulate filtration that allows for an efficient and safe bag-in/bag-out filter change without exposing the interior HEPA filters.  Environmental protection is achieved by all contaminated air passing through a 99.99% HEPA filter.

NuAire incorporates our existing technology and new DC ECM technology to give you the best value. There are many added benefits from DC ECM Technology: Less energy to operate, longer filter life, greater horsepower and lower potential RPM; integrated digital control system and the lowest possible noise and vibration.

The unique TouchLink™ Electronic Control System monitors and controls all cabinet functions: On/off functions for fluorescent and germicidal ultraviolet lights, blower motor and interior outlets. Monitors high/low limits for airflow and window position; Date/clock display; laboratory timer, set purge cycles, outlet timer, UV light timer, auto-run timer, night setback, or weekend turn-off; Complete diagnostic functions for a NSF trained service technician or certifier.

nitecare™- A unique system initiated by the window closure, will reduce motor / blower operational airflow

to conserve energy while maintaining work zone sterility. (Configurable)

intelliflow™- Fast, Accurate, Reliable, Dual Thermistor Airflow Sensors powered by TSI, the sensor technology used in certification instruments to assure BSC optimal performance.

The NU-481 supplies an ergonomically correct environment by providing the ability to sit or stand, expanded vision zone reduces awkward postures and proper lighting reduces glare, forearm support for comfort and safety effective work zone area for more “user-friendly” space.
