Biovanguard 4 Class II Biosafety Cabinet – Made in Holland
The CleanAir BioVanguard 4 biological safety cabinet with electrical sash is a 1.2 metre wide Class II safety cabinet, developed for laboratories that require a compact footprint combined with advanced ergonomics, automation and long-term reliability. It is the direct successor to the CleanAir Euroflow 4, ensuring a smooth upgrade path for existing installations.
At the core of the BioVanguard 4 are three high-quality German EBM-Papst EC motors, working in combination with a large, easily accessible prefilter. This airflow architecture significantly reduces HEPA filter loading, resulting in one of the longest HEPA filter lifetimes on the market and therefore a very low total cost of ownership over the cabinet’s lifetime.
Unlike cabinets equipped with undersized motor systems, the BioVanguard 4 maintains stable airflow for many years. Noise levels, vibrations and energy consumption increase only very slowly as filters load, providing consistently comfortable working conditions.
The cabinet features an electrical sash system, allowing smooth, controlled movement of the front window with precise positioning. This enhances operator ergonomics, supports safety compliance and ensures reproducible working conditions — particularly important in regulated environments.
All electronic systems are designed and manufactured in the Netherlands, ensuring excellent reliability, minimal downtime and long service life. CleanAir is part of the Baker Company group, combining European engineering with decades of biosafety expertise.
Maximum safety is ensured through a double-wall construction under negative pressure, preventing hazardous substances from escaping even in the unlikely event of a leak. The V-shaped front intake grille stabilises the protective air curtain and reduces sensitivity to environmental disturbances, while the sloped rear grille prevents accidental airflow blockage by the user, maintaining homogeneous downflow across the work area.
Cleaning and decontamination are simplified thanks to seamless internal surfaces, rounded corners and a front window that tilts forward, allowing fast and thorough access to the work chamber.
