Semper Safehood 120 Safety Cabinet

• Providing operator and environmental protection when handling hazardous biological agents.
• Containing fumes and particulate matter during chemical manipulations in laboratory settings.
• Utilised in pharmaceutical research and development for sterile compounding.
• Essential for microbiology laboratories working with pathogens.
• Used in quality control processes requiring a controlled environment.

Typical external width

Units in this class commonly range from 1200mm to 1800mm.

Typical working height

Ergonomic designs typically feature a working height around 750mm to 850mm.

Power supply

Commonly requires a standard single-phase 230V, 50Hz electrical supply.

Filtration system

Typically equipped with HEPA filters for particulate removal and often activated carbon filters for chemical vapours.

Airflow type

This model class typically employs recirculating or ducted airflow, depending on the specific hazard.

Noise level

For this class of equipment, noise levels are typically designed to be below 65 dB(A) for operator comfort.

• What is the primary difference between a fume hood and a safety cabinet?

  A fume hood primarily protects the user from chemical fumes, while a safety cabinet (like the Safehood 120) offers protection for the user, the product, and the environment, often with HEPA filtration for biological agents.

• Does this unit require external venting?

• What maintenance is typically required for a safety cabinet?

• Is this unit suitable for handling highly volatile chemicals?

• What certifications should I look for on a used safety cabinet?

Biosafety cabinets are valued for their critical role in protecting operators and samples during hazardous work. Buyers typically prioritise certification compliance and airflow integrity when purchasing used units. Industry sentiment emphasises the importance of verifying maintenance history and airflow testing records. Key strengths include durability of construction and long operational lifespans when properly maintained. Common considerations focus on filter condition, energy efficiency, and compatibility with existing laboratory infrastructure. Reliable performance and consistent operator protection remain central to buyer expectations.
