Prism™ Class II, Type A2 BSC
Labconco’s Prism™ Biosafety Cabinet delivers protection where it matters most – for you, your work, and your lab environment. Engineered for performance, designed for usability, and built to last, Prism BSCs make high-level biosafety accessible without compromise.
Streamlined
Prism BSCs include core features scientists and researchers need most. A cleanable stainless steel interior, dished work surface, and 5” touchscreen support scientific workflows without distraction.
Safe
Labconco’s trusted Constant Airflow Profile™ (CAP) technology continuously monitors and adjusts airflow to maintain safe working conditions. Integrated alerts and alarms keep users informed in real time. Safety is built in – not bolted on.
Reliable
Constructed with high-grade materials and backed by more than 50 years of biosafety expertise, the Prism is designed for long-term dependability. Durable and thoughtfully engineered, it reflects Labconco’s commitment to quality and safety.
Streamlined. Safe. Reliable. Prism is the smart choice for labs that value protection, performance, and peace of mind.
Ergonomics and Accessibility
The Prism extends all of Labconco’s unparalleled BSC comfort features. From the smooth, curved airfoil with built-in armrest to the line-of sight touchscreen and all controls within easy reach, the Prism maximizes each user’s experience. The Prism also joins Labconco’s Logic & Axiom BSCs as the only ADA-compliant BSCs available.
Efficient and Advanced Blower
The DC Electronically Commutated Motor (ECM) Blower at the heart of Prism delivers cabinet airflow precisely while efficiently consuming power for max efficiency and longevity. Using as little as 45% of the energy as similar BSCs, Lower initial RPMs plus a high reserve capacity mean quieter operation with extended filter life.
Intuitive Touchscreen Controls
Full control while working in the cabinet? That’s Prism OS. As with Labconco’s Logic BSCs, the Prism’s advanced internal touchscreen delivers – with a streamlined OS that shows all critical operational information, including alerts, filter life, and more in easy to understand messages. All without the need to look away and from your critical work.
Advanced Air Stability
Prism cabinets include Labconco's cutting-edge Constant Airflow Profile (CAP) Technology. CAP automatically adjusts air speeds when disruption occurs from arms blocking the front grill to routine filter loading, keeping you safe at all times.
