CAS BioMAT Class 2 Microbiological Safety Cabinets

• Used for handling Risk Group 2 and 3 biological agents in microbiology and biotechnology laboratories.
• Suitable for cell culture work where protection of the product, personnel, and environment is required.
• Employed in pharmaceutical quality control for sterility testing and aseptic manipulations.
• Utilised in clinical diagnostic laboratories for processing patient samples and pathogen isolation.

Typical working width

Commonly ranges from 900mm to 1800mm for this class of equipment.

Airflow type

Recirculating vertical laminar flow with HEPA filtered exhaust, typical for Class 2 cabinets.

Filtration

Typically equipped with HEPA filters for both downflow and exhaust air.

Power supply

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

External dimensions (approximate)

Varies by model; typically, units are between 1300-2000mm high, 800-900mm deep, and 1000-1900mm wide.

Noise level

Commonly designed to operate below 65 dB(A) for user comfort.

Certifications

Units of this type are typically designed to meet EN 12469 or equivalent international standards for microbiological safety cabinets.

• What is the primary difference between a Class 1 and Class 2 cabinet?

  Class 1 cabinets protect the user and environment but not the product. Class 2 cabinets, like the BioMAT, protect the user, environment, and the product through HEPA-filtered vertical laminar airflow.

• Does this used unit come with new filters?

• Is installation and commissioning included?

• What maintenance is required for a Class 2 cabinet?

• Can this cabinet be used for handling volatile chemicals or radionuclides?

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.
