The NuAire AireGard NU-240 horizontal laminar airflow workbench (LAFW) helps to maximize configurability for pharmacies seeking to build their PEC around their sterile, nonhazardous drug compounding workflow by offering a choice of stainless steel or polycarbonate work zone sidewalls, an optional IV bar with hooks, a base stand with choice of settable legs or motorized height adjustability with leg levers or casters, and an optional support arm for a computer monitor and/or keyboard. For best results with primary engineering controls, it is important to configure the LAFW around process needs and the comfort of pharmacy staff.
