The
AniGARD® II Animal Transfer Station is a vertical
flow recirculating air clean bench that provides
ISO Class 5 protection by delivering HEPA-filtered
air to the work surface. This lightweight, easily
maneuverable cabinet features an ergonomically engineered,
adjustable work surface and slanted viewscreen for
increased worker comfort.
Permitting
operator access on three sides, the AniGARD®
II is designed to provide animal protection and
particulate control during routine cage changing
operations in the laboratory while maximizing productivity
and flexibility.
|
|
| Improved
Productivity |
|
Lightweight, compact design with casters
and optional pull bar(s) provides for easy movement
and maneuverability throughout the laboratory.
|
| |
Low-profile unit (less than 73") fits through
standard doorways and down laboratory aisles.
|
| |
A 25' retractable power cord provides greater
range of use without unplugging. |
| |
Three-sided work area permits access by
multiple operators, facilitating team-based
projects. |
| |
The 12" high access openings to the work
area accommodate a variety of cage sizes; hinged
viewscreen opens to 21" allowing greater visibility
and access to work area. |
|
Flat, spacious work surface allows cages
to be pulled in and out quickly. |
|
| |
| Exclusive
Momentum Air Curtain |
The
AniGARD® II Animal Transfer Station employs
a unique high velocity momentum air curtain
to help ensure product and offer additional protection
without restricting access.
| |
|
|
| |
 |
This
unique airflow design generates a more impenetrable
barrier along the perimeter of the work surface,
working to prevent room particulates from
entering the work area. |
| |
|
A
stainless steel diffuser strategically positioned
just below the supply filter directs filtered
air down the inside of the viewscreen, creating
faster airflow of a nominal 175 FPM along
the perimeter of the work zone. |
| |
|
Airflow
over the center of the work surface is a nominal
70 FPM. |
| |
|
Perforations
along the perimeter of the work surface under
negative pressure assist in capturing particulates
that are knocked down by the momentum air
curtain. |
|
 |
| Airflow
Design Assures Maximum Efficiency |
The
AniGARD® II is designed to protect animals
from particulate exposure and cross-contamination
by providing double HEPA filtration in a re-circulating
air system.
| |
|
|
| |
|
The
cabinet delivers HEPA-filtered air to the work
area in a vertical downward flow. |
| |
|
The
air passes through a pre-filter and primary
HEPA filter located under the work surface. |
| |
|
A
blower located downstream of the primary HEPA
filter forces air through a vertical duct and
into the top of the cabinet. |
| |
|
The
air passes through a secondary HEPA supply filter
and enters the workspace. |
| |
|
The
re-circulating air design eliminates air discharge
near the floor, preventing contamination of room
air and reducing worker exposure to allergens.
|
| |
|
A
viewscreen prevents the operator’s head from entering
the clean air stream. |
|

| Ergonomic
Benefits |
| |
|
|
| |
|
Slanted
10º viewscreen for operator comfort and direct
line-of-sight viewing. |
| |
|
Well-lighted
workspace (average 80 foot-candles at work surface)
reduces eyestrain; light switch is standard. |
| |
|
Clear
viewing area provides a panoramic view of the
workspace from three sides. |
| |
|
Manual
hydraulic lift system with fold-away crank allows
infinite adjustment of work surface height from
36" to 48" to accommodate various sized operators
comfortably. |
| |
|
Low
noise level improves operator comfort and reduces
effect of ambient noise on animals. |
| |
|
Lightweight
and easy to maneuver. |

Features |
| |
|
|
| |
|
Fan
and all electrical components are located downstream
of pre-filter/primary HEPA filter in clean air
plenums, extending component life by preventing
exposure to unclean air, reducing costly downtime
and expense. |
| |
|
Primary
HEPA filter is removed through the work area,
limiting the release of trapped materials while
changing the filters. |
| |
|
Easily
removable pre-filter is located below the work
surface. |
| |
|
Ability
to scan-test HEPA filters ensures leak-free
integrity. |
| |
|
Welded,
full perimeter drain pan under the work surface
with 1" drain valve catches liquid or spills,
protects electrical components, allows for easy
cleanup. |
| |
|
Designed
for easy serviceability including access panels
for all electrical components. |
