Product Description.

Our Class 2 Biological Safety Cabinets keep your team safe while handling potentially hazardous materials.

 

Independently type tested and approved to BS EN 12469 : 2000 by the UK’s leading authority on Microbiological Safety Cabinets, the Health Security Agency.

 

Manufactured to the highest quality standards, our state-of-the-art Biosafety Cabinet is equipped with H14 HEPA Filters to create an ISO Class 5 Clean Environment and features an intuitive control system, energy-efficient LED lighting, controlled airflow and UV sterilisation functionality.

 

Class 2 Biological Safety Cabinets are suitable for work with microbiological agents assigned to Biosafety Levels 1, 2, 3 or 4.

The Class 2 Biological Safety Cabinet utilises a combination of inflow and downflow air to create a sterile work environment. Air passes through HEPA filters before entering the work area, protecting samples and operators from airborne contaminants. Exhaust air is filtered again before release, maintaining a safe laboratory environment.

 

Type A2

In a Recirculating Type A2 MSC air is drawn in through the front aperture, providing operator protection. The inflow air mixes with the downflow air as it enters the front intake grille and passes through the plenum where the air is split into exhaust systems.

  • 70% of the air is recycled and pushed back into the Work Area through the downflow HEPA Filtration, providing product protection.
  • 30% is returned through the Exhaust Air HEPA Filter back into the laboratory environment.

 

Type C1

A Type C1 MSC utilises the same airflow pattern as a Type A2. The addition of an Anti-Blowback Valve directs 30% Exhaust Air through an External Duct System.

 

Carbon Exhaust System

If chemicals are used a Carbon Filtered Exhaust system may be installed after or as part of the Exhaust HEPA Filter, making a Type A2 Cabinet suitable for the handling of hazardous chemicals.

Ideal for use in microbiology, pharmaceutical, clinical, and research laboratories, our Class 2 Biological Safety Hood supports a wide range of applications where operator, product, and environmental protection are essential.

  • Microbiology: Handling of cultures and specimens.
  • Pharmaceutical Research: Safe manipulation of hazardous drugs.
  • Clinical Testing: Containment of infectious agents.
  • Biomedical Laboratories: Protection during cell culture work.

Enhance your Class 2 Safety Cabinet with a range of optional additions, including base stands, electrical systems, and custom service connections to suit your specific needs.
