1.3 SAFETY
At Esco, your safety is of paramount importance to us. Thus Esco Ascent Opti Basic/Ascent Opti
Ductless Fume cabinet has been packed with features that would take your safety to an altogether new
level. A highlight of these features is as follows:
•
A unique filter mounting system that eliminates bypass leaks inherent in conventional clamping
system
•
A generously-sized main filter with higher chemical retention capacities designed to meet the
requirements of French Standard AFNOR NFX 15-211
•
Microprocessor-based control system provides the user with numerous safety and operational
features, ensuring an enhanced safety in the laboratory
(This feature applies only for SPD)
•
State-of-the-art baffle design to ensure better airflow uniformity and distribution within the cabinet
for better operator protection
(This feature applies only for SPD)
•
Isocide™ Antimicrobial coated cabinet structure prevents surface contamination and inhibits
bacterial growth on the cabinet's external surfaces.
1.4 PERFORMANCE
The cabinet is precisely engineered to deliver the required performance anytime you need it
•
As the filter loads, the intelligent blower system automatically adjusts itself to maintain constant
airflow. This unique feature eliminates the need for constant speed control adjustments, thereby
ensuring optimum performance
•
Sentinel microprocessor control system monitors all critical cabinet airflow parameters and alerts
the operator through audible/visual alarms in case of any malfunction. Airflow sensors employed
are temperature-compensated. Temperature compensation leads to improved accuracy of
airflow sensor
(This feature applies only for SPD).
1.5 CLEANABILITY
The issue of cleanability is important to ensure easy procedures
•
Removable stainless-steel worktop on a removable epoxy powder-coated electro-galvanised
drain pan simplifies cleaning
(SPD units only).
1.6 OPERATOR COMFORT
The features incorporated in this cabinet allow for greater operator comfort and better working condition:
•
13-degree sloped front allows easy access to work zone – enhancing ergonomics, eliminating
operator fatigue and increasing productivity
•
Curved front edge minimizes airflow turbulence and improves user comfort
•
Ergonomic apertures for hands in the front window allow for maximum movements within the
workzone while providing the operator with extra protection from any possible chemical spillage
•
Transparent frameless acrylic front window and sides provide a high degree of visibility and
operator comfort; front window is mounted on self-supporting pre-tensioned hinges, allowing for
