Labconco Protector XVS 2 Ft Ventilation Station with Guardian Airflow Monitor

The Labconco Protector XVS Ventilation Station is a 2-foot laboratory enclosure designed to provide effective containment and airflow control for light-duty applications such as cytology, pathology, solvent cleaning, and educational use. This ventilation station features:

• Robust construction: Aluminum frame with corrosion-resistant dry powder epoxy-coated interior and chemically resistant solid epoxy work surface dished to contain spills.
• Safety airflow design: A clean sweep airfoil pulls air through a perforated rear baffle to maintain a protective airflow barrier, utilizing an upper sash foil to direct contaminants away from the user.
• Ergonomic features: Angled, hinged tempered glass sash for clear viewing, easy loading, and cleaning. The enclosure has two utility ports enabling power cord access and a deep interior sufficient for accommodating balances or other equipment.
• Airflow monitoring: Integrated Guardian Airflow Monitor provides real-time alerting with green "safe" and red flashing LED indicators if airflow drops below preset safety thresholds, ensuring continuous user protection.
• Technical specifications: Exhaust volume rated at 120 cfm at 80 fpm face velocity (90 cfm at 60 fpm); internal dimensions 23" x 23" x 40", overall dimensions 28" x 24" x 48", and unit weight of 200 lbs.
• Operational note: Requires a remote blower, exhaust transition adapter, and ductwork (sold separately) for proper ventilation functionality.

This ventilation station is widely used in molecular diagnostics, biomedical research, and biotechnology laboratories where low-level solvent handling, sample processing, or cytological workspaces require controlled airflow and contamination containment. Its chemical-resistant materials and airflow monitoring system make it an essential component for bioprocessing workflows and clinical diagnostics safety protocols.

Optimized for research environments focused on synthetic biology, gene editing sample prep, and live-cell imaging support, the Labconco Protector XVS supports clean, safe laboratory operations and is popular among scientists prioritizing protective ventilation in sensitive biomanufacturing pipelines.
