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.
Overview
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 cabinet’s 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.
