Labconco adds the Prism Class II, Type A2 biosafety cabinet to its range

On 6 January 2026 Labconco Corporation announced the Prism Class II, Type A2 biosafety cabinet. The company links the launch to the 50th year of its work on biosafety cabinets [1][2].

Where it fits in the range

The Prism joins Labconco's existing cabinets: the Logic, the dual-mode Axiom and the large-format Logic Vue [1][2]. In the release, Director of Biosafety Products David Wasescha said the company's biosafety portfolio "has never been stronger" [1].

Features named by the company

• Constant Airflow Profile (CAP) technology, which on the product page is described as adjusting air speeds when disruptions occur, such as an arm blocking the front grille or filters loading [1][3].

• A 5-inch touchscreen running Prism OS that shows alerts, filter life and other operating information [3].

• A DC ECM blower that Labconco says can use as little as 45 per cent of the energy of similar cabinets [3].

• Widths of 4 ft or 6 ft with a 10-inch sash height, and a dished 304 stainless steel work surface [3].

Standards listed

The product page lists NSF/ANSI 49, UL 61010-1, CAN/CSA 22.2 and, for the 230V version, CE/UKCA marking [3]. Indian buyers should note that these are the manufacturer's stated listings; the requirements of the specific laboratory, its biosafety level and any local approvals need to be checked separately before choosing a cabinet.

Availability in India

The announcement does not give pricing or details for the Indian market. If your laboratory is evaluating a biosafety cabinet, please contact Agarwal Brothers and we will confirm current availability and configuration options with the manufacturer.
