FAQs of Biological Safety Cabinet Class II Type B2:
Q: How does the Class II Type B2 Biological Safety Cabinet ensure operator and product safety?
A: Safety is achieved through a vertical laminar airflow combined with a HEPA filter that achieves 99.99% efficiency at 0.3 microns. All contaminated air is 100% exhausted, preventing air recirculation and ensuring hazardous particles are removed. Compliance with EN 12469 and NSF/ANSI 49 standards confirms its reliability in protecting personnel, product, and environment.
Q: What are the main benefits of using the ETC-74B2 Biological Safety Cabinet in a laboratory?
A: Key benefits include advanced bio-containment due to 100% air exhaust, a spacious and well-illuminated work surface, low noise and vibration operation, and real-time airflow monitoring. The robust construction from powder-coated steel and stainless steel ensures durability and ease of decontamination, making it ideal for microbiological, research, and pharmaceutical applications.
Q: When should a Class II Type B2 cabinet be preferred over other biological safety cabinets?
A: Class II Type B2 cabinets are recommended when working with hazardous chemicals or biological agents that require total exhaust, with no air recirculation, such as in toxicology labs or pharmaceutical manufacturing where both chemicals and infectious agents are handled.
Q: Where is the ETC-74B2 typically used and who are its main users?
A: This safety cabinet is commonly used in microbiology laboratories, research institutions, and the pharmaceutical industry across India and globally. Main users include laboratory technicians, scientists, and researchers who handle sensitive or hazardous biological materials.
Q: What is the process for operating and maintaining the cabinet?
A: Operation involves turning on the blower, monitoring airflow via the digital display, and utilizing both UV and fluorescent lighting for visibility and decontamination. Maintenance includes routine filter checks, cleaning the stainless steel surface, and verifying airflow velocities. Detailed process guidelines are provided in the cabinets user manual.
Q: How is the airflow system configured, and what are its advantages?
A: The cabinet utilizes a vertical laminar airflow system, supported by a centrifugal blower with low vibration, providing uniform air distribution over the work zone. This setup prevents cross-contamination and ensures a safe, sterile working environment.
