CleanAir Biovanguard 5 Class II Biosafety Cabinet – Made in Holland
The CleanAir BioVanguard 5 biological safety cabinet is a 1.5 metre wide Class II safety cabinet, developed for laboratories that require increased working width without compromising safety, reliability or long-term operating costs.
At the core of the BioVanguard 5 are three powerful German EBM-Papst EC motors, working in combination with a large, easily accessible prefilter. This high-capacity airflow system significantly reduces HEPA filter loading, resulting in the longest HEPA filter lifetime available on the market. Fewer filter replacements, reduced service interventions and minimal downtime translate directly into the lowest total cost of ownership over the cabinet’s lifetime.
Thanks to the use of high-quality, generously dimensioned motors, airflow stability is maintained over many years. Noise levels, vibrations and energy consumption increase only very slowly as filters load — a clear advantage over cabinets using undersized motor systems.
The cabinet is equipped with a manual sash system, offering a robust and dependable solution with minimal mechanical complexity. This makes the BioVanguard 5 particularly suitable for laboratories that prioritise durability, ease of maintenance and long-term reliability.
All electronic components are designed and manufactured in the Netherlands, ensuring outstanding reliability, very limited downtime and a long operational lifetime — essential in regulated pharmaceutical, hospital and research environments.
Maximum safety is ensured by 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 blockage by the user, preserving uniform downflow across the entire work surface.
Cleaning and decontamination are simplified through seamless internal surfaces, rounded corners and a front window that tilts forward, providing excellent access to the work chamber.
The CleanAir BioVanguard 5 is the direct successor to the CleanAir Euroflow 5, offering the same footprint with significantly improved performance, safety and lifecycle cost efficiency.
