A Biological Safety Cabinet (BSC), also known as a Biosafety Cabinet, is primarily used for handling pathogenic biological samples or applications requiring a sterile work environment. The entrance and outflow of air in a biological safety cabinet protects the operator. Downflow air is filtered with a ULPA/HEPA filter, resulting in an ISO Class 3 work zone that protects samples from cross-contamination. To safeguard the environment, the air is filtered using a ULPA/HEPA filter before being released.

APPLICATIONS

• Negative pressure surrounds the work area with double wall plenums for protection.
• Air drawn through pre-filter is made to pass through highly effective HEPA (High Efficiency Particular Air) filters having efficiency rating as high as 99.99% with cold DOP and 99.97% with hot DOP, thus retaining all air-borne particles of size 0.3 micron and large. The highly efficient HEPA filter maintains the optimum cleanliness and purity. Being equipped with the prefilter, it can extend the life of HEPA filter.
• Aerodynamic airflow grills maintain safety and prevents blockage.
• U.V and fluorescent interlock available
• Ergonomic and comfortable 10 degrees sloped front window for comfortable head and elbow rest position, thus reducing fatigue
• Sash is counterbalanced for smooth and light weight operation with standard opening of 200mm ±10 mm for easier access to work zone and enhanced user safety.
• 30 % air exhaust
• 70 % air recirculation
• HEPA-filtered exhaust air in Type A2 cabinet may be recirculated into the room or exhausted to the outdoors through a canopy exhaust connection.
• HEPA-filtered downflow air is a portion of mixed downflow and inflow air from a common plenum
• Negative Pressure air surrounding all biological contaminated ducts and plenums
