Product Description
Bio Safety Cabinets Pathology are designed for protection of operator, product and environment from pathogenic agents and microorganisms transmitted in respiratory way and also for creation of a bacterial dust free air environment. It has a common plenum from which 30% of air is exhausted, and 70% re-circulated to the work area as the down flow. Type A cabinets exhaust air directly back to the laboratory, and they may contain positive pressure contaminated plenums. When toxic chemicals must be employed as an adjunct to microbiological processes, these cabinets should not be used. Exhaust HEPA filtration onlyremoves airborne aerosols including biohazards, and not chemical fumes.
Class II Type B1 Biological Safety Cabinets:
- The Class II Type B1 biological safety cabinet has a common plenum from which 70% of air is exhausted, and 30% re-circulated to the work area as the down flow.
- Type B1 cabinets also have a dedicated exhaust feature that eliminates re-circulation when work is performed towards the back within the interior of the cabinet. Toxic chemicals employed as an adjunct to microbiological processes should only be employed if they do not interfere with work when re-circulated in the down flow.
