High Performance Features:

The patented* XPert Filtered Balance System and XPert Filtered Balance Station are designed to meet the needs of the laboratory scientist, and provide superior containment while conserving energy at OSHA approved “low flow” velocities as low as 60 feet per minute. The filtered enclosures have been tested to effectively contain toxic and noxious materials when properly installed and operated. What makes the filtered enclosures so unique is the revolutionary way they direct air into and through the contaminated air chamber. Labconco engineered the filtered enclosures to minimize the effects of turbulence. The containment-enhancing and aerodynamic designs of the upper sash foil, side air foils, lower air foil, upper dilution air supply, and rear perforated baffle all work in concert to produce horizontal airflow patterns that significantly reduce powder, chemical and particulate concentrations through the work area.
