Class II Biological Safety Cabinet
In the realm of laboratory safety, Class II Biological Safety Cabinets (BSCs) stand as a cornerstone, ensuring the protection of personnel, products, and the environment. At Bioverselabproducts, we are committed to delivering state-of-the-art BSCs that meet the highest standards of safety and efficiency. This comprehensive guide delves into the intricacies of Class II BSCs, highlighting their types, features, applications, and the unparalleled offerings of Bioverselabproducts.
Understanding Class II Biological Safety Cabinets
Class II BSCs are engineered to provide a sterile environment for handling sensitive biological materials. They achieve this through a combination of HEPA or ULPA filtration and controlled airflow, which ensures that both the user and the environment are protected from potential contaminants.
Key Features:
HEPA/ULPA Filtration: High-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters remove 99.99% of particles ≥0.3 µm, while ultra-low penetration air (ULPA) filters offer even higher efficiency at 99.9995% for particles ≥0.12 µm.
Laminar Airflow: Ensures a unidirectional flow of air, minimizing cross-contamination within the cabinet.
Negative Pressure: Maintains containment by drawing air into the cabinet, preventing the escape of hazardous particles.
Ergonomic Design: Features such as angled front sashes and adjustable stands enhance user comfort during prolonged operations.
Types of Class II Biological Safety Cabinets
Class II BSCs are categorized based on their airflow patterns and exhaust systems. The primary types include:
Type A2:
Airflow: 70% recirculated, 30% exhausted.
Exhaust: Filtered and recirculated into the laboratory.
Applications: Suitable for work with biological agents that do not involve volatile chemicals or radionuclides.
Type B2:
Airflow: 100% exhausted.
Exhaust: Directly vented outside the facility.
Applications: Ideal for procedures involving toxic chemicals and radionuclides.
