Biovanguard 4 Class II Biosafety Cabinet – Made in Holland
The Biovanguard 4 is a premium Class II biosafety cabinet designed to offer advanced operator, product, and environmental protection during microbiological work involving biological agents. With its motorized sash system, this model strikes the perfect balance between energy efficiency, ease of use, and robust containment, making it an ideal choice for laboratories that demand safety without compromise.
Built by The Baker Company—a globally recognized leader in containment technology—and distributed via Labman BV in Belgium, the Biovanguard 4 is engineered to meet the latest international standards for biological safety. Whether you’re handling infectious materials, cell cultures, or sensitive pharmaceutical compounds, this cabinet ensures your work is conducted in a secure, contamination-free environment.
Key highlights of the Biovanguard 4 include:
-
Low operation cost, due to the use of 3 EC motors and advanced prefiltration, ensuring longer HEPA filter lifetime and energy usage
-
Effective personnel and environmental shielding, even during aerosol-generating procedures. Design is optimized to prevent grid blocking, which can cause containment breaches. Double wall construction under negative pressure prevents prevents air leaks to the laboratory.
-
HEPA-filtered vertical laminar airflow for exceptional product protection, the use of 2 EC motors for the downflow provides extremely homogenous downflow speed reducing risk of cross contamination between samples
-
Quiet operation, enhancing user comfort in long-term applications
-
Low energy consumption, thanks to intelligent airflow management and eco-friendly design using 3 EC motors
-
Ergonomic design, 7° sloped window ensures optimal visibility of the workzone. Integrated footrest in the support stand ensures comfortable working position. Easy to use LCD screen features settings like UV scheduler. Reliable motorized sash mechanism, reducing mechanical complexity while maintaining high safety levels
- Easy cleaning, due to front tilting window and smooth finishing
Designed for high-performance laboratories in microbiology, virology, pharmaceutical R&D, and academic research, the Biovanguard 4 helps you stay compliant with biosafety regulations while supporting your productivity and sustainability goals.
