Bioquell Microflow Bio Safety Cabinet Class

• Protecting personnel and the environment from biohazards in microbiology and biotechnology laboratories.
• Handling cell cultures, viral vectors, and pathogenic microorganisms.
• Performing aseptic manipulations in pharmaceutical and research settings.
• Containing aerosols and splashes during laboratory procedures.

Typical capacity

Work zone widths commonly range from 0.9m to 1.8m for this class of equipment.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a standard single-phase electrical supply, commonly 230V, 50Hz in the UK.

Filtration
