LabGard ES (Energy Saver) NU-543 Class II, Type A2 Biological Safety Cabinet

Laboratory safety has come a long way over the years. From biological safety cabinets to fume hoods, incubators, and animal handling products, explore some of the key innovations that have transformed the modern-day lab and find out where one of the world's leading providers of lab equipment came from and where it is headed.

From arm movements to ergonomics and airflow checks, discover the 5 most important rules to stay safe when working in a biological safety cabinet and how you can improve your practices, in this downloadable infographic.

This infographic presents a flow chart for USP 797 and USP 800 Pec Requirements when preparing drugs in healthcare settings.

Like many layers of an onion, there are unanswered questions on the intricate details of USP 800-related engineering control parameters. In addition, the multitude and flexibility of theengineering controls can seem daunting to the independent pharmacy owner. Even more concerning, and certainly at the forefront of all of the independent pharmacy owners’ minds, is the cost associated with being compliant with USP 800. The costs associated with building a new facility or remodeling an existing space, are proving to be as equally subjective as the choice of engineering controls. The focus of this white paper is to discuss the details for consideration of a good working design of a USP 800 compliant compounding lab.

There is a looming deadline on December 1, 2019 and that is the implementation of USP chapter <800>-Hazardous Drugs, Handling in Healthcare Settings. State Boards of Pharmacy (SBOP) are forming task forces and committees to determine if their state will fully implement the chapter or if they will only implement certain components of the chapters. And yet there are other states that are unsure what to do and may push the enforcement further down the timeline. Regardless of what your SBOP has determined regarding USP <800> enforcement, it is still wise to examine the risks associated with hazardous drug chemical handling in your entity. Mitigating risk may not be at the forefront of your mindset, but like the USP <800> deadline, the issue of chemical exposure risk is looming in all healthcare facilities that handle hazardous drugs (HDs).

In this infographic, discover 10 tips to follow when working with a Class II Biosafety Cabinet (BSC) to minimize air turbulence and prevent splatter or unwanted spread of aerosols.

Handling hazardous drugs in the compounding pharmacy, per USP chapter <800> guidelines, involves strategic workflow strategies with the goal of minimizing personnel and environmental exposure. This application note pulls chemical handling and compounding workflow strategies together into a more sequential model in an effort to minimize personnel and environmental exposure.

This application note provides a technical bulletin offering safety advice and information about the use of Bunsen burners within a biological safety cabinet (BSC).

To run a modern healthcare, biological, chemical, medical research, pharmacy, or pharmaceutical lab, a manager should understand the capital equipment employed regularly. The more thorough the knowledge of each device, the more efficiently the lab manager can plan for the implications of deployment, maintenance, repair, and replacement.

Purchasing decisions should not be taken lightly, or solely driven by price. In this note, learn about the careful considerations that are necessary before venturing into the used resale market for biological safety cabinets, or other laboratory equipment.

This video demonstrates the proper protocols which must be followed to decontaminate a Biological Safety Cabinet to avoid potential contamination risks when work has been completed.

An important part of a safe work environment is making sure it is ergonomically designed to work with you, not against you. When you work in a NuAire Biosafety Cabinet, you'll experience a comfortable, ergonomically designed workspace.

In this video learn steps to take before you begin work in your Biological Safety Cabinet. A proper biosafety or operations manuals will specify practices and procedures designed to minimize and eliminate risks.

Discover why Biological Safety Cabinets are the principal device used to provide containment of infectious splashes or aerosols generated by microbiological procedures.

In this video Nuaire Inc. describe the importance of safety in the laboratory and how the construction of its NuAire Class II Biological Safety Cabinets help protect laboratory personnel.

State of the art ergonomics elevate the LabGard 500 series Class II, Type A2 Biological Safety Cabinet to a whole new level. A closer reach into the work zone and an aerodynamic designed Arm Rest provides extra comfort, as well as an Expanded Vision Zone and Larger Work Area than other models in the industry. These are just a few of the many ergonomic features of the new 500 series that make it the best NuAire Biological Safety Cabinet ever.

The LabGard 500 series features two control systems for optimal safety. The AeroMax electronic control system featured on model NU-540 controls cabinet functions through a touch pad and visual indication lights. Airflow is controlled by monitoring system pressure. The FlowGard electronic control system featured on model NU-543 visually controls parameters through the use of an OLED screen and maintains airflow via an airflow probe. Each system comes standard with visual and audible status updates in case of service or alarm.

No two cabinets are built alike. NuAire is demonstrating their commitment to offering the highest build quality available for your safety. A single sheet of Stainless Steel makes up the walls of the cabinet. The top and bottom of the unit are welded into place. Finally a coved insert makes up the work zone. The final result is a monolithic pressure tight design extending product life and enhancing your safety.

Watch this video to discover NuAire’s new range of biological safety cabinets. NuAire has long provided you with high quality biological safety cabinets maintaining focus on efficiency, ergonomics, and you. And now they have a new experience for you... The new NU-500 series biological safety cabinet, constructed as a safer environment to protect you and your work.
