What is the primary function of a Class II Microbiological Safety Cabinet?

A Class II cabinet provides triple protection: for the user from aerosols, for the product from contamination, and for the environment from hazardous biological agents through filtered exhaust.

How often do HEPA filters typically need to be replaced?

HEPA filter lifespan varies depending on usage and environment, but they typically require replacement every 3-5 years. Regular certification checks will determine their efficiency.

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

Class II cabinets are generally not suitable for significant quantities of volatile toxic chemicals or radionuclides. For such applications, a Class II Type B2 cabinet or a fume cupboard is usually required.

What maintenance is typically required for this type of equipment?

Routine maintenance includes daily cleaning of the work surface, periodic decontamination, and annual certification to verify airflow parameters, filter integrity, and alarm functions.

Is installation complex for a used safety cabinet?

Installation typically involves positioning, levelling, and connecting to a suitable power supply. Professional commissioning and certification by a qualified engineer are essential before use.

What does 'full working condition' mean for a used safety cabinet?

'Full working condition' usually implies that all primary functions, including airflow, filtration, and control systems, are operational. However, buyers should always request recent service records and certification.

Overview & Compliance

Suitable for EN 12469:2000 (EU) and NSF/ANSI 49 (US) standard compliance, the SafeFAST Classic 209 D provides triple protection (user, product, environment) via Class II vertical laminar airflow containment 

Airflow: ~70% is recirculated through an H14 HEPA/ULPA filter, ~30% is exhausted via a second H14 HEPA filter 

Key Features

Construction: Exterior in epoxy‑powder‑coated steel; rear wall meets EN12469 cleanability criteria; segmented work tray of AISI 304L stainless steel, removable for cleaning/autoclaving 

Electrical safety sash: Motorised vertical sliding front sash, with standard working aperture of 200 mm (max 490 mm), also hinged for deep cleaning 

Airflow & Filtration System: Single or dual centrifugal fans; static negative pressure design ensures all contaminated air is drawn into HEPA filters; avoids positive pressure in any chamber 

Control & Safety Systems

Microprocessor-based control (ECS™ or similar): Real-time monitoring via rear-lit LCD and touch keyboard, displaying airflow status, filter condition, fan status, and sash position; allows safe operation and data logging 

Audio‑visual alarms: Alert the user in case of deviations in airflow velocity, sash mis-position, clogged filter, fan issues, or power loss
