Save Time and Money, SentinelTM Delta Microprocessor Monitors Airflow in Real Time to Prevent Sample Contamination
Touchpad data entry buttons permit control settings and access to default settings. Color coded indicator lamps display green for fan operation, fluorescent lights and electrical outlet; and red for caution (UV lamp ON). Digital read-out with alpha-numeric display indicates all input, status and alarm functions. All functions can be user activated through touch-pad programming access; see Operations Manual.
Esco Sentinel Delta Microprocessor Control System, Programmable When programmed ON, an airflow alarm warns of deviations from normal velocities.
In horizontal laminar flow clean benches (AHC) there is a slightly reduced level of turbulence compared to vertical flow clean benches (AVC) due to the airflow not striking the work surface. However vertical laminar flow clean benches generate less turbulence around large pieces of equipment as compared to horizontal laminar flow clean benches.

Laminar Flow Clean Benches Laminar Flow Clean Benches, Horizontal and Vertical (D-Series)
Key Features
ULPA filters (per IEST-RP-CC-001.3) tested to a typical efficiency of >99.999% for 0.1 to 0.3 micron particles are better than HEPA filters. ULPA filters last as long as conventional HEPA filters and have similar replacement costs. All Esco laminar flow clean benches provide ISO Class 3 air cleanliness within the work zone as per ISO 14644.1, significantly cleaner than the usual Class 5 classification on clean benches offered by the competition. The intelligent blower system maintains airflow as the filter becomes loaded, ensuring optimum efficiency and product protection. An additional disposable pre-filter traps large particles in the inflow air prior to reaching the main filter, protecting against damage and prolonging filter life. All Esco products are manufactured for the most demanding laboratory applications. All components are designed for maximum chemical resistance and enhanced durability for a long service life. The main body of the clean bench is constructed of industrialgrade electro-galvanized steel. Proven Product Protection
Horizontal laminar air flow with ULPA filtration, >99.999% at 0.1 to 0.3 microns, provides superior product protection.
Work Top
The spill-retaining work top design with a recessed central area contains accidental liquid spills.
One piece formed stainless steel work surface with a curved front edge is designed for maximum operator comfort. Built-in warm white, electronically ballasted, 5000k lighting provides excellent illumination of the work zone and reduces operator fatigue. The reliable lighting system is zero-flicker and instant start. Esco Laminar Flow Clean Benches have been tested for cross-contamination and product protection using microbiological test methods specified in EN12469.
Each clean bench is individually factory tested for safety and performance in accordance with international standards. All electrical components are UL listed or UL recognized, ensuring superior electrical safety for the operator. Esco antimicrobial coating on all painted surfaces.
Esco clean benches use ULPA filters (per IEST-RP-CC001.3) instead of conventional HEPA filters commonly found in laminar flow clean benches. While HEPA filters offer 99.99% typical efficiency at 0.3 micron level, ULPA filters provide 99.999% typical efficiency for particle sizes of 0.1 to 0.3 micron level.

User Interface
An angled front, curved work surface front edge, and glass sides promote ergonomics. The powder coated work zone rear wall eliminates harsh reflections which may be associated with conventional stainless steel interiors. The vertical air flow design minimizes direct airflow which may lead to dry eyes and fatigue on horizontal flow models.
