Description Section 1 Figure 1-1. Unit Components The Thermo Scientific 1300 Series A2 offers innovative SmartFlow™ technology; an automatic airflow compensation system that adjusts motor speed as filters load, without the use of a manual damper. The SmartFlow™ system ensures safe working conditions, even between annual certifications.
Steady airflow within the air system ensures constant downflow, allowing the HEPA filters to remove contaminants so that the samples are always surrounded by ultra-pure air. Harmful particles are not carried over the sample chamber (protection from cross-contamination). 1300 Series A2 Thermo Scientific...
