Class II Type A2 Biosafety Cabinets

A biosafety cabinet, also called a biological safety cabinet or microbiological safety cabinet, is an enclosed, ventilated laboratory workspace for safely working with materials contaminated with (or potentially contaminated with) pathogens requiring a defined biosafety level.

Features:

• Motorized front glass viewing window with optional foot switch
• UV light with life indicator
• Waterproof in-chamber power sockets
• Large LCD display
• Easy-to-clean stainless steel chamber
• Special treated unit housing with anti-mold and antiseptic coating
• Auto start and stop function (e.g. UV lights)
• Automatic flow speed adjustment
• Mobile base stand can be removed if the user prefers to place it on a table top
• 70% of air is recirculated back into the unit, 30% is exhausted

Steps before and after using a Biosafety Cabinet:

• Step 1: Fully close the front glass panel and turn on the UV light for 30 minutes (you can use the timer setting). Users should leave the room during this disinfection period
• Step 2: Raise the glass panel to the recommended opening height and turn on air circulation for 10 minutes
• After the operation is done, fully close the glass panel and turn on the UV light for another 30 minutes for decontamination.

Important Guidelines:

• No flammable and explosive substances (building up of flammable material may cause an internal fire or explosion)
• No volatile chemicals (may cause damage to HEPA filters to the point where it allows particles to leak through)
• No toxic chemicals or materials (May reach room occupants)
• No open flame (will disrupt airflow patterns) chemicals or materials (may reach room occupants)
• No open flame (will disrupt airflow patterns)
• We recommend using the following for disinfecting the surfaces of a BSC, depending on the agent to be controlled: Sodium hypochlorite (bleach), Ilodophors (Wescodyne), Phenolics (Hilphene, Vespene) and Quaternary ammonium compounds (Conflikt, EndbacII)
• Minimal use (10 mL or less) of decontaminant, such as 70% isopropyl or ethyl alcohol, is allowed
• If gaseous, vaporized, or aerosolized chemicals must be generated in a BSC, you should assure yourself that the quantity being generated will NOT cause a flammable or toxic risk

Certifications:

• NSF certified
