Axiom Class II, Type C1 Biosafety Cabinets

The Axiom is an R&D 100 Awards for Innovation Finalist

• Omni-Flex two mode design (Type A and B mode) and two programmable working sash heights (8" and 10")
• Intrinsically-safe negative pressure design
• Fully scannable 99.99+% supply and exhaust HEPA filters (99.999% ULPA filters available)
• Long-life Dual DC Electronically Commutated Motors (ECM)
• Constant Airflow Profile (CAP) airflow monitoring system
• Active Protection Protocol that operates the cabinet's exhaust blowers for up to five minutes, in the event of exhaust system failure, preventing the flow of air into the laboratory
• Low static pressure and volumetric rate exhaust requirements when in Type B mode. No dedicated exhaust system per BSC required
• Air-Wave Entry System at access opening to enhance containment
• Contain-Air Negative Pressure Channel at top of sash to enhance containment
• MyLogic Operating System and interior-mounted, line-of-sight, full color, easy-to-understand LCD information center with:
  • Smart-Start System allows user to start up and shut down cabinet functions by raising and lowering the sash
  • Night-Smart System for idling the blower when the sash is fully closed (while in Type A mode only)
  • "Filter Life Remaining" bar graph and numeric value displayed for easy HEPA filter monitoring
  • Status line for alarm conditions and alerts to warn when filter life diminishes to 20% and 10% before alarming at 0%
  • Interval/elapsed timer for experiment monitoring
  • UV light timer (on models with UV)
  • Digital clock
  • 8 Languages
• Bright glare-free LED lighting up to 156 footcandle (1679 lux)/ Located outside the contaminated work area
• Electronic security lock (optional activation) that requires access code to operate the cabinet
