NSF Certified Class II Type A2 Biosafety Cabinet Features

• Class I cabinets offer personnel and environmental protection but not product protection, potentially leading to sample due to inward airflow. They are often used for enclosing specific equipment or procedures that might produce aerosols.

• Class II cabinets provide both sample and environmental protection as the makeup air is also HEPA-filtered. They come in different types (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1) based on specific requirements defined by standards.

• No volatile chemicals (May cause damage to HEPA filters to the point where it allows particles to leak through)

• No toxic chemicals or materials (May reach room occupants)

• No open flame (Will disrupts air flow patterns)

About NSF Certified Class II Type A2 Biosafety Cabinet

NSF Certified Class II Type A2 Biosafety Cabinet A biosafety cabinet, also known as a biological safety cabinet or microbiological safety cabinet, is an enclosed and ventilated workspace used in laboratories to safely handle materials contaminated or potentially contaminated with pathogens. Its primary purpose is to protect laboratory workers and the environment from these harmful microorganisms. The cabinet ensures safety by filtering all exhaust air through HEPA filters before releasing it, effectively removing and es. This differs from laminar flow clean benches, which direct unfiltered exhaust air towards the user and are not suitable for handling pathogenic agents. Similarly, a biosafety cabinet is distinct from fume hoods, as the latter doesn't offer the same level of environmental protection provided by HEPA filtration. There are different classes of biosafety cabinets: Class I cabinets offer personnel and environmental protection but not product protection, potentially leading to sample due to inward airflow. They are often used for enclosing specific equipment or procedures that might produce aerosols. Class II cabinets provide both sample and environmental protection as the makeup air is also HEPA-filtered. They come in different types (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1) based on specific requirements defined by standards. As for the Ai 2 Ft Class II Type A2 biosafety cabinet features, it includes various specifications such as NSF certification, suitability for COVID-19 specimen handling, a motorized front glass viewing window with optional foot switch, dual HEPA filters with life indicators, UV light with a life indicator, waterproof in-chamber power sockets, large LCD display, easy-to-clean stainless steel chamber, and other functionalities for user convenience and safety. Steps before and after using the biosafety cabinet involve closing the front glass panel, initiating UV light for 30 minutes for disinfection (users should vacate the
