Exclusive dual exhaust filters provide > 100.000 times better protection than single-stage designs.
Microprocessor-based Esco Sentinel™ Silver control system provides visual / audible alarms for airflow.
Magnehelic* pressure gauge is mounted in the rear of the work zone for at-a-glance monitoring of work zone negative pressure.
Neoprene™ gauntlets are single- piece, leak-tested glove assemblies which guarantee maximum protection.
An integrated pass-through with interlocking doors permits materials transfer without risk of environmental contamination.
Esco ISOCIDE™ antimicrobial surface on all painted surfaces minimizes contamination.
An angled cabinet front ensures a comfortable working posture.
