Used BIO-RAD Universal II #9025859 for sale

BIO-RAD Universal II is an industrial-grade laminar flow and fume hood designed to provide a safe, controlled work environment and protect laboratory personnel from hazardous materials, fumes, dust, and other contaminants. The hood is designed with a grid of evenly-spaced vertical and horizontal baffles that divide incoming air into uniform planes of laminar airflow and help keep chemicals, dust, and other airborne contaminants from entering the face and breathing zone of those using the hood. The hood is equipped with a blower motor that supplies controlled, pressure-balanced air through the top of the hood, thereby creating a laminar airflow. Air is pulled through a set of filters located at the rear of the hood and exhausted out of the back to keep air exhaustion away from the user. The laminar flow created by the hood is designed to disperse incoming contaminant particles on the walls of the unit, preventing them from entering the user's breathing zone, and removing odors, vapors, and other contaminants before they can reach the working surface. The hood is also designed to minimize energy consumption. The air velocity across the hood is set to just above the worker's breathing zone, with a minimum of 200 feet per minute. This helps minimize energy consumption while still providing the necessary safety and efficiency. Additionally, the hood is equipped with an adjustable baffle equipment on the top and sides that allows the operator to adjust air input and air velocity as needed. The hood also features a full view window and a recessed work surface to provide visibility and accessibility to work materials. An adjustable light system is also included for adequate illumination and a switchable socket is included for equipment use. The hood includes dual-action gaskets to ensure tight shut and an automatic sash closure unit to keep the sash securely closed when the hood is not in use. In conclusion, Universal II provides an efficient, effective, and safe environment for laboratory personnel. By using a laminar flow design, the hood provides an optimum work environment for lab personnel, keeping dust, fumes, and other airborne contaminants from entering the breathing zone. The hood also includes an adjustable baffle machine and a recessed work surface for better visibility and ease of use. With its energy efficient design and its additional safety features, BIO-RAD Universal II is an ideal choice for laboratory applications.
