About Biological Safety Cabinet
The cabinets are fabricated out of thick board duly sunmica clad. Interior surfaces are epoxy painted for its longer life. The work table is made of heavy gauge S.S. sheet and is fitted with U.V. Germicidal light, static pressure manometer, Exhaust system ( suitable for 6 feet duct ) and virus burn out unit. side panels are made out of thick transparent plexi glass duly framed. The unit is fitted with pre-filter and HEPA filter. Air is drawn through pre-filter and is made to pass through highly effective GEPA (High deficiency particular air filters) having efficiency retaining all air-borne particles of size 0.3 .micron and larger. using a dynamic balancing machine, the blower and motor assembly is statically and dynamically balance. motor of 1/4 H.P. capacity operates with minimum noise level. The working table provides a comfortable "SIT DOWN" working position for the operator. In addition to the above features of a standard vertical laminar flow bench. The bio-safe cabinets have arrangements for re-circulating a part of the air thus creating highest level of clean air.

Air is sucked through the pre-filter and the excess air is thrown out from the top, through a HEPA filter of size 1`x 1`x 6". Supplied with glove ports and gauntlets, HEPA filter, pre-filter, U.V. light and florescent light.
Advanced Pathogen ProtectionWith a HEPA filter capable of removing at least 99.99% of 0.3 m particles, this cabinet provides dependable protection against airborne biological threats. Its negative pressure design and laminar airflow system further minimize contamination risks, ensuring laboratory staff and sample safety during sensitive procedures.
Ergonomic and Durable BuildConstructed with a 304 stainless steel interior and powder-coated mild steel exterior, the cabinet is tailored for long-term use and chemical resistance. The programmable UV lamp, user-friendly manual sash lift, and digital LCD display offer operational ease and flexibility, making it a reliable addition to modern labs.
Versatile Applications and CertificationsCertified to ISO 9001 and CE standards, the BSC-A2-1300 is rigorously tested for quality and safety. Designed for pathogen protection in laboratories, research facilities, and clinical settings, it is equipped with lockable heavy-duty caster wheels for easy relocation. The Class II, Type A2 rating meets the demands of a wide range of biosafety applications.
FAQs of Biological Safety Cabinet:
Q: How does the Biological Safety Cabinet ensure laboratory safety during operation?
A: The cabinet maintains laboratory safety through a combination of high-efficiency HEPA filtration (99.99% for 0.3 m particles), an alarm-equipped sash interlock, negative pressure airflow, and UV lamp disinfection. These features work in tandem to minimize operator exposure to hazardous aerosols and contaminants.
Q: What are the benefits of using a programmable UV lamp timer in this cabinet?
A: The UV lamp timer enables precise control and scheduling of disinfection cycles, reducing manual intervention and ensuring that the work surface is thoroughly decontaminated between uses. It can be set from 0 to 99 minutes for tailored biosafety protocols.
Q: When should the washable synthetic fiber prefilter be cleaned or replaced?
A: The prefilter should be checked regularly according to laboratory usage levels. Frequent cleaning is recommended in high-use environments to maintain optimal airflow and prolong the lifespan of the HEPA filter. Replace the prefilter if it becomes damaged or shows signs of excessive wear.
Q: Where is this Biological Safety Cabinet best installed within a facility?
A: It is best placed in a clean, well-ventilated laboratory or research room away from direct air currents and heavy foot traffic. The lockable caster wheels ensure that the cabinet can be positioned securely in the optimal location for workflow efficiency.
Q: What is the operational process of the sash position alarm feature?
A: The sash position alarm monitors the height of the front tempered glass sash. If the sash is raised beyond a safe working level, an alarm signals the user to adjust it, maintaining operational safety and proper containment within the work zone.
Q: How does the ergonomic design benefit users during extended procedures?
A: The 750 mm work surface height, clear tempered glass sash, and digital LCD controls offer a comfortable and efficient workspace. This ergonomic setup reduces operator fatigue, enhances visibility, and supports precise manipulation of samples over long laboratory sessions.
