• A TOTAL CONTAINMENT CABINET

• 100% air exhaust

• The Class-III Biological Safety Cabinet are designed for work with biosafety level 4 high-risk microbiological agents and provides maximum protection to the environment and the worker. It is a gas-tight enclosure with a non-opening, completely sealed, viewing window. Access to the interior of the cabinet is through a double door pass-through “interchange” box. Reversing that process allows for the safe removal of materials from Class III biosafety cabinet.

• Both supply and exhaust air are HEPA filtered. Exhaust air must pass through HEPA filter. Class III cabinets usually exhaust air back to the laboratory, however, the exhaust air can also be exhausted to the external environment via a dedicated ductwork system. The air exhausted to the environment can also pass through an optional additional level of SAFETY, though not essential, by incineration process (commonly known as Virus burn-out systems). Air Flow is maintained by a dedicated independent (optional) exhaust system exterior to the cabinet, which keeps the cabinet and all associated ducting under negative pressure.

• Long, gloves and glove parts are attached in a gas-tight manner to ports of the cabinet. Although these gloves restrict movement for the manipulation of the materials isolated inside the cabinet, they prevent the user’s direct contact with the hazardous materials. THE TRADE-OFF IS CLEARLY ON THE SIDE OF MAXIMIZING PERSONAL SAFETY.

• Negative pressure surrounds the work area with double-wall plenums for protection.

• Air drawn through pre-filter is made to pass through highly effective HEPA (High-Efficiency Particular Air) filters. The prefilter fitted extends the life of the HEPA filter drastically. Fitted with HEPA Filter made from water-resistant, fire retardant, imported microfine glass fiber media; conforms to EU – 14 Grade, with an efficiency rating better than 99.999% for 0.3 μ. These filters are designed to accommodate higher air flow volume.

• Prefilter is made from Non-Woven Synthetic with HDPE mesh and Al expanded mesh on air leaving side; conforms to EU – 4 / G-4 Grade, with the efficiency of down to 10 microns. These filters can be cleaned by compressed air & also washable.

• Aerodynamic airflow grills maintain safety and prevents blockage.

• U.V and fluorescent interlock available

• Ergonomic and comfortable sloped front window for comfortable head and elbow rest position, thus reducing fatigue

• Sash is sealed and fixed with glove and ports for access to the work zone and enhanced user safety.
