- Biosafety Cabinets are specialized workstations widely used in clinical, pharmaceutical, life science and industrial laboratories where experiments
- highly needed contaminant free environment. Also known as biological safety cabinets and biohazard safety cabinets, these are made in three
- different class types such as Class 1, Class 2 and Class 3; in which Class 2 is widely used in microbiology laboratories because it provides
- protection to both product as well as personal. It is biosafety level factor which decides which BSC should be used in laboratory. These
- cabinets are considered safer than other clean benches because such BSCs effectively eliminate risks to operator / shottaff, samples and the
- environment from pathogenic biological agents (PBA) and microorganisms responsible for spreading airborne infection.
Types:
There are three types of class 2 biosafety cabinets are made. It is the type of work which decides which class 2 BSC should be used in laboratory. Below is short description about all types:
- Type A2: recirculate approximately 70% air and 30% exhaust
- Type B1: recirculate approximately 30% air and 70% exhaust
- Type B2: Does not recirculate but exhaust 100% air
- Complete Stainless Steel 304 / 316
- Inner Stainless Steel, Outer Mild Steel
- Stainless Steel bench, rest mild Steel

- Two parts in Working top: a) Front perforated portion 5” in SIZE, b) Nonperforated working zone
- Work Area will be approximately 3 X 2 X 2 Feet with a shutter opening of 489 mm
Specification
- HEPA Filters: MINIPLATE with 99.99% efficiency for 0.3 microns with integral metal guards & Filter frame gaskets and
- manufactured in class 100 super clean air-conditioned environment for longer life.
- Air pressurization system: Statically and dynamically balanced, fitted with the special vibration-reducing system to suit low
- noise and vibrations.
- UV lamp: In the working zone (40 microwatts/ square cm at 254 mm or better) and placed so that the operator cannot see
- directly i.e. eyes will be always protected.
