Biovanguard 6 Class II Biosafety Cabinet with motorized sash – Made in Holland
The CleanAir BioVanguard 6 biological safety cabinet with electrical sash is a 1.8 metre wide Class II safety cabinet, designed for laboratories that require the largest possible working width combined with advanced ergonomics, automation and long-term reliability. It is the direct successor to the CleanAir Euroflow 6, offering a seamless upgrade path for existing installations.
At the core of the BioVanguard 6 are five powerful German EBM-Papst EC motors, working in combination with a large, easily accessible prefilter. This high-capacity airflow system dramatically 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 generously dimensioned, high-quality motors, airflow stability is maintained across the full 1.8 m working width. Noise levels, vibrations and energy consumption increase only very slowly as filters load, ensuring consistently comfortable working conditions over many years — a clear advantage over older-generation cabinets.
The cabinet is equipped with an electrical sash system, providing smooth, controlled movement of the front window and precise sash positioning. This improves operator ergonomics, enhances safety compliance and supports reproducible working conditions, particularly in regulated pharmaceutical and hospital environments.
All electronic components are designed and manufactured in the Netherlands, ensuring exceptional reliability, very limited downtime and a long operational lifetime.
Maximum safety is achieved 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, 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, allowing fast and thorough access to the work chamber.
