What is the difference between a Class I, II, and III biosafety cabinet?

Class I cabinets protect personnel and the environment but not the product. Class II cabinets protect personnel, product, and the environment. Class III cabinets provide maximum protection for highly hazardous agents, offering a gas-tight enclosure.

How often do HEPA filters need to be replaced?

HEPA filter lifespan varies depending on usage and environmental conditions, but they typically require replacement every 3-5 years. Regular certification checks will indicate when replacement is necessary.

What maintenance is required for a biosafety cabinet?

Routine maintenance includes daily cleaning of the work surface, weekly cleaning of all interior surfaces, and annual certification by a qualified technician to verify airflow, filter integrity, and alarm functions.

Can this cabinet be used for handling volatile chemicals?

Class II Type A2 cabinets, like the Microflow, are generally not recommended for significant quantities of volatile toxic chemicals or radionuclides due to recirculation of air within the cabinet. Specific cabinet types (e.g., Type B1 or B2) are designed for such applications.

What certifications should I look for?

In the UK, look for certification to EN 12469 for Class II biosafety cabinets, which ensures compliance with European standards for performance and safety.
