About Biological Safety Cabinet Class II type 2
SC Class II Type A2
Edutek Biological Safety Cabinet Class II type 2 a negative pressure ventilated cabinet providing personnel and environmental protection for handling of low risk aerosols and particulate matter.It is operated with an open front and a minimum face velocity at the work opening of 75 linear feet per minute lfpm The air flows through the cabinet carrying contaminants with it, exiting through a HEPA filter, either into the laboratory or to outside
Enhanced User Safety and Sample ProtectionThis cabinets core focus is on both user and sample safety, utilizing a sophisticated airflow system that recirculates 70% and exhausts 30% air. The front sliding glass window, safety interlock features, and high-efficiency HEPA and pre-filters together mitigate contamination risks, while the stainless steel interior and removable work tray ensure effortless cleaning and sterilization.
Intelligent Control and Ergonomic DesignOperated via a microprocessor-based touch control panel, users can efficiently monitor parameters with digital precision. The built-in UV germicidal lamp and fluorescent/LED lighting enhance visibility and ensure thorough sterilization. Caster wheels ensure easy movement, while robust construction permits use in diverse and demanding laboratory environments.
FAQs of Biological Safety Cabinet Class II type 2:
Q: How does the Class II Type 2 Biological Safety Cabinet ensure both user and sample protection?
A: The cabinet features double-wall construction, a sliding safety glass window, and HEPA filtration (>99.99% at 0.3 microns) that prevents exposure to potentially harmful particulates. Its UV germicidal lamp further minimizes contamination risk, and the airflow system maintains directional air to protect both users and samples during handling.
Q: What process should be followed for sterilizing the working area inside the cabinet?
A: Before and after sample handling, the UV lamp should be activated to sterilize the interior. Routine cleaning with appropriate disinfectants and regular washing of the pre-filter are also recommended. The stainless steel work tray can be removed for thorough cleaning and maintenance as needed.
Q: When should the HEPA filter and pre-filter be replaced or cleaned?
A: The washable pre-filter should be cleaned regularly, depending on usage frequency and laboratory environment. The digital filter life indicator will alert you when its time to change the HEPA filter, ensuring consistent filtration performance and laboratory safety.
Q: Where can this cabinet be used most effectively?
A: This safety cabinet is designed for laboratory environments in research, clinical, pharmaceutical, or manufacturing settings. Its robust design and protective features make it suitable for laboratories in educational, healthcare, and industrial facilities throughout India.
Q: What benefits does the microprocessor-based control panel provide?
A: The touch-sensitive, microprocessor-based control panel allows precise regulation of air velocity (2% accuracy), lighting, and UV sterilization, while the digital display offers real-time status updates. This ensures users can easily control and monitor cabinet functions for optimized performance and safety.
Q: How does the airflow system contribute to operational safety?
A: The airflow system recirculates 70% of the air through HEPA filters and exhausts 30%, minimizing the risk of cross-contamination and environmental exposure. This system maintains a safe, clean working area, meeting laboratory biosafety requirements.
