Description

The Ultima is AES Environmental’s next-gen Class II Biological Safety Cabinet, engineered and manufactured in Australia to meet the requirements of AS 2252.2. Designed for laboratories that demand uncompromising safety and performance, the Ultima is a Class II Type A2 BSC delivers exceptional protection for operator, product, and environment.
At the heart of the Ultima is its innovative sash mechanism. Traditional cable and counterweight systems can present reliability concerns over time, but the Ultima’s screw-driven actuators and rigid sash frame remove that risk. This innovation ensures the sash remains securely locked in place throughout operation, delivering confidence for operators and setting a new benchmark for laboratory safety.

Australian Standards

Designed and manufactured in Australia, the Ultima Class II Biological Safety Cabinet series fully complies with Australian Standard AS 2252.2:2025 (Class II BSC) and is certified to AS 1807:2021 testing protocols.

Ultima cabinets comply with AS 2252.2:2025 in all three vital areas:

  • Cabinet design/construction
  • Cabinet performance
  • Air filter performance

Some cabinets on the Australian market do not comply in all of these areas. A decision to use such equipment should be taken only after careful consideration of the risk posed by the materials to be handled and with the agreement of those who will operate the equipment. (See current and proposed Health and Safety Regulations).

  • Choice of Top, Front, L/H or R/H exhaust
  • Air tap
  • Gas tap with solenoid control
  • Electronically-controlled, height adjustable floor stand
  • Floor stand, semi-adjustable (height to order)
  • Extra power outlet (1 x power outlet supplied as standard feature)
  • Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS)
  • Vacuum tap with solenoid
  • Customised work zones
  • Fumigation adaptor panels for work opening and exhaust

AES Environmental, through its NATA-accredited laboratory (No. 1139), offers comprehensive on-site maintenance, testing, and certification services for safety cabinets, laminar flow workstations, cleanrooms, and HEPA filter installations. It is recommended all BSC’s should be at least once a year accredited to an approved standard and adjusted by a competent technician, preferably from an independent ILAC/NATA accredited laboratory.

UltraSafe Class II Biological Safety cabinets are factory tested and certified by a NATA Accredited laboratory. Additional on-site testing and certification is recommended as follows:

  • On site prior to use
  • At least once a year
  • After HEPA filter replacement
  • After any re-location
  • Change in work program

In special circumstances, such as significant change in the work programme, or where unsafe cabinet operation is suspected.

Welded one-piece stainless steel work zone: Smooth radius corners, and removable work tray eliminate crevices where contaminants could collect, making cleaning and decontamination fast and effective.

Sash window: Constructed from 6mm toughened glass, with actuator-driven locking ensures stability and prevents accidental drops, while the mechanism is positioned outside the negative plenum for safer servicing.

Integrated LED lighting: Delivers bright illumination without heat, and the large side windows improve visibility, ideal for both daily operation and training scenarios.

Watertight welded sump: provides spill retention capacity, giving additional security when handling liquids.
