Biological safety cabinet class 2
In the realm of laboratory safety, Biological Safety Cabinets (BSCs) play a pivotal role in ensuring the protection of personnel, products, and the environment. Among the various classes, Class II BSCs are widely utilized due to their versatility and comprehensive protection. Bioverselabproducts, a leading name in laboratory equipment, offers state-of-the-art Class II BSCs designed to meet the stringent demands of modern laboratories.
Understanding Biological Safety Cabinets
Biological Safety Cabinets are enclosed, ventilated laboratory workspaces designed to protect the user, the environment, and the material being worked upon from exposure to biohazards and cross-contamination. They achieve this through directional airflow and high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filtration.
Classification of Biological Safety Cabinets
BSCs are categorized into three classes: I, II, and III. Class II BSCs are further divided into Types A1, A2, B1, and B2, each differing in airflow patterns and exhaust systems.
Class II Type A1
Airflow Pattern: 70% recirculated, 30% exhausted.
Exhaust System: Exhaust air is filtered through a HEPA filter and recirculated into the laboratory.
Applications: Suitable for work involving low to moderate risk biological agents.
Class II Type A2
Airflow Pattern: Similar to A1 but with higher inflow velocity.
Exhaust System: HEPA-filtered exhaust air can be ducted out of the laboratory.
Applications: Suitable for work with trace amounts of volatile toxic chemicals and radionuclides.
Class II Type B1
Airflow Pattern: 30% recirculated, 70% exhausted.
Exhaust System: Exhaust air is ducted out of the laboratory.
Applications: Suitable for work with small amounts of volatile toxic chemicals and radionuclides.
Class II Type B2
Airflow Pattern: 100% exhausted.
Exhaust System: No recirculation; all air is HEPA-filtered and ducted out.
Applications: Suitable for work with hazardous chemicals and radionuclides.
