Thermo Scientific HERAguard ECO 1.5: protection and efficiency combined
The HERAguard ECO 1.5 from Thermo Scientific is a horizontal laminar flow hood designed to meet the needs of laboratories requiring maximum sample protection. Thanks to a high-performance ventilation system, air is drawn in from above, passes through a pre-filter and then a HEPA filter before being diffused horizontally into the work area. This unidirectional laminar flow prevents the intrusion of particles and guarantees a sterile environment, which is essential for applications such as media preparation, tissue culture and sterile packaging.
This model features a DC motor, which consumes less energy than traditional AC motor systems. This design not only reduces energy costs but also limits heat generation in the laboratory, improving user comfort and the stability of sensitive samples. In addition, its noise level of less than 55 dBA promotes a quieter working environment.
The HERAguard ECO 1.5 fume cupboard is designed to facilitate daily operations with its intuitive control panel that displays safety and performance parameters in real time. Its ergonomic structure provides unobstructed access to the work area, while options such as SmartPort ensure clean and safe cable and hose routing, optimising workstation organisation.
Users can customise their equipment to suit their specific needs. A stainless steel work surface can be integrated for demanding applications, a fold-down windscreen can be added to protect against purified air flows, and a UV lamp can be fitted to disinfect the work surface between sessions. These options enhance the device's versatility and adaptability to different laboratory environments, from clean rooms to hospitals and pharmaceutical industries.
Versatile and compliant with international standards such as ISO 14644-1 and GMP, the HERAguard ECO 1.5 is an ideal choice for laboratories looking for a reliable and energy-efficient solution for protecting their samples. Its modular design and wide range of accessories make it compatible with a wide range of applications, from pharmaceutical research to microelectronics assembly.
