What is Biological Safety Cabinet? Things you must know about Biological Safety Cabinet

A Biological Safety Cabinet is a vented enclosure that protects the user, the product, and the environment from aerosols generated when potentially harmful microorganisms are handled. A HEPA filter is used to discharge the continuous airflow to the atmosphere.

When working with biological agents that offer a low risk/threat to laboratory staff and the environment, Biosafety Level 1 is used. Generally, work with these agents is carried out in open laboratory cabinets without the use of specialised containment equipment. Biosafety Level 2 pertains to the handling of harmful or infectious organisms that pose a moderate risk. Salmonellae, Hepatitis B virus, and Measles virus are all examples.

When working with indigenous or exotic agents that may cause serious or lethal disease by aerosol transmission, biosafety level 3 is required. Yellow Fever and Encephalitis are two examples.

Ltd. is currently the industry’s top manufacturer and supplier of laboratory equipment and instruments under the “LaboSys” and “LuxMed” brands in all market segments.

They are one of the major manufacturers and suppliers of “LaboSys ” and ®

“LuxMed ” brand laboratory equipment and instruments to various Universities, Colleges, R & D labs, Institutes, and other institutions, established in 2003. Since 2003, they have been producing scientific laboratory equipment in-house, which was previously imported.

Their main goal has always been to put the needs of our clients first, which drives us to constantly change and enhance our goods so that the end-user better accepts them. Slowly but slowly, they acquired the clients’ trust to the point that the product specifications are now being used to draught tender specifications for the procurement of laboratory equipment by major universities, institutes, colleges, and other institutions.

Class II A2 Biological Safety Cabinet

Three layers of protection exist within the biological safety cabinet: operator, sample, and environment. The airow system is enormous, with 70% of the air being recirculated and 30% being expelled. The A2 Cabinet is ideal for microbiological research that requires the absence of volatile or poisonous substances and radioactive nuclides.

Specifications:

• LCD display for the BSC-3FA2-GL (3′)
• BSC-3FA2-NA (3′) LCD display with a touch screen
• Thimble covering for the exhaust (Optional)
• I.V. bar made of stainless steel with ten hooks
• Stainless Steel Water and Gas Taps
• Footmaster Caster
• Socket that is impervious to water
• Ultraviolet lamp with an emission wavelength of 253.7 nanometers for the most efficient decontamination

Advantages:

• Front window with motorised operation.
• A large LCD display that shows all of the information.
• With the filter block, you may change the automatic air speed.
• Includes a memory function in the event of a power breakdown.
• The side and back walls are constructed of a single piece of stainless steel.
• Interlock function between the UV lamp and the front window; between the UV lamp and the blower; between the blower and the front window.

It is slanted 10 degrees in the front to provide operator comfort while working over extended periods of time, prevent glare, and maximise reach into the work area.

Class II B2 Biological Safety Cabinet

This is a Class II B2 Biosafety Cabinet (LMBS) that complies entirely with the requirements of the US Standard ANSI/NSF49:2016. LMBS is a type of negative pressure filtering system designed to safeguard the operator, the laboratory environment, and the experiment materials. LMBS is a type of equipment that is required in microbiology, biomedical science, genetic recombination, animal experimentation, and the production of biological products. It is critical in situations when operator protection is required, such as healthcare, pharmaceutical analysis, and biological research. During bacterial culture, this equipment maintains a germ- and dust-free working environment.

Features:

• BSC-4FB2-NA is equipped with an LCD display.
• BSC-4FB2-GL is equipped with an LCD display.
• Remote control – It allows you to do all of the functions, making the operation much simpler and more convenient for you.
• Footmaster Caster – A universal caster with a brake and levelling feet that may be used on any surface.
• Two Waterproof Sockets are situated in the sidewall of the cabinet, allowing for the most convenient use of small devices within the cabinet.
• Ultraviolet lamp with an emission wavelength of 253.7 nanometers for the most efficient decontamination

Advantages:

• Front window with motorised operation.
• Indicators for the life of the HEPA filter and the UV filter.
• With the filter block, you may change the automatic air speed.
• Includes a memory function in the event of a power breakdown.
• If the work area is surrounded by negative pressure, it can help to ensure the highest level of safety possible.
• The majority of the accessories are included as standard equipment, which saves you money. There is no need to pay any additional fees.
• Both an audible and visual alert (filter replacement, window over height, abnormal air low velocity, etc).
• The use of a remote control. It is capable of carrying out all functions, making the operation considerably simpler and more convenient overall.
• Interlock function between the UV lamp and the front window; between the UV lamp and the blower; between the blower and the front window.

Class III Biological Safety Cabinet

The Class III Biosafety Cabinet is completely sealed and gLMAS-tight, and both the supply and exhaust air are filtered with ULPA. Long-sleeved gloves are worn during the course of the work. The cabinet is maintained at negative pressure of at least 120Pa, and airflow is maintained via an external exhaust system that is devoted to this purpose. It has the potential to protect the operator, the product, and the environment.

The following characteristics are included:

• Bag in and bag out filters are included. Using the PVC bag can help to keep employees and their surroundings safe while also making the replacement process more convenient and quick to complete.
• Remote control – It allows you to do all of the functions, making the operation much simpler and more convenient for you.
• View from the front window Motorized, two-layer laminated toughened glass >5mm thick, with anti-UV coating on one side.
• Water and natural gas faucets Stainless steel of the highest grade.
• Ultraviolet lamp with an emission wavelength of 253.7 nanometers for the most efficient decontamination.

In the event of a power failure, the unit’s memory function will be activated. The UV lamp effectively sterilises the work environment.

• An angled cabinet front promotes a more ergonomic working posture for the user.

High-quality ULPA filters with a typical effectiveness of 99.9995 percent for 0.12 micron particles are used to double-filter the exhaust air before it is released.
