CAS Biomat 2 Microbiological Safety Cabinet

• Protecting personnel and the environment from biohazards in microbiology laboratories.
• Handling cell cultures and viral vectors in research and development settings.
• Performing sterile manipulations in pharmaceutical quality control.
• Preparing samples for diagnostic testing in clinical laboratories.

Typical capacity

Work zone widths commonly range from 900mm to 1800mm for this class of equipment.

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on a standard single-phase 230V, 50Hz supply.

Filtration

Commonly features HEPA filters for both exhaust and downflow air, ensuring particulate removal efficiency of 99.995% for 0.3 micron particles.

Airflow type

Class II cabinets like the Biomat 2 typically provide vertical laminar flow within the work zone and an inward air barrier at the front aperture.

Construction material

Work surfaces and interior panels are commonly constructed from stainless steel for ease of cleaning and decontamination.

External dimensions

Footprints vary significantly, but typical depths are around 700-800mm and heights around 1300-1500mm, excluding stands.
