Introducing the Ultima: A World First in Biosafety Cabinets
AES Environmental is proud to announce the launch of the Ultima Class II Biological Safety Cabinet. A breakthrough in laboratory safety and performance, the Ultima is designed and manufactured right here in Australia.
The Ultima is the first and only biosafety cabinet of its kind to feature a screw-driven sash actuator system. For decades, biological safety cabinets have relied on cable and counterweight mechanisms to support the sash window. These systems can wear down and fray over time. In the worst cases, this could lead to a dangerous sash free-fall, posing serious risks to laboratory operators.
The Ultima changes that. With its precision screw-driven actuator and rigid sash frame, the sash remains securely locked in place, even in the event of power loss. This innovation sets a new global benchmark in laboratory safety, giving operators complete confidence during every use.
But the sash isn’t the only area where Ultima leads the way.
Designed for Safety and Performance
Built in compliance with AS 2252.2:2025, the Ultima provides consistent protection for operators, products, and the environment. A dual-fan airflow system ensures stable performance, while dual H14 HEPA filters (99.995% efficiency at 0.3 microns) deliver exceptional particle retention. Negative pressure containment further guarantees that hazardous air cannot escape into the laboratory.
Comfort Meets Usability
Laboratories are demanding environments, and operator comfort is critical. The Ultima features an ergonomic slanted sash window to reduce strain on the neck and shoulders, with an optional electric height-adjustable stand for a customised working position. A refined airflow profile significantly reduces noise, creating a quieter and more focused working environment.
Easy Cleaning, Long-Term Reliability
The Ultima’s welded one-piece stainless steel work zone, smooth corners, and removable tray eliminate crevices where contaminants could collect, making cleaning and decontamination fast and effective. Designed for durability, the cabinet reduces downtime and extends performance life, backed by AES Environmental’s nationwide service and certification support.
The Safest Cabinet Ever Built
With its world-first sash mechanism, Australian manufacturing pedigree, and uncompromising design standards, the Ultima is more than just a new product, it’s a redefinition of what laboratory safety should be.
