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

Features HEPA filtration for both exhaust and downflow air, providing a clean working environment and containment.

Airflow type

Class II cabinets operate with a specific inward airflow at the work opening, downflow HEPA-filtered air, and HEPA-filtered exhaust.

Construction material

Commonly constructed from stainless steel for the work zone, ensuring durability and ease of decontamination.

Certifications

Units are typically designed to meet international standards such as EN 12469 for Class II biological safety cabinets.

• What is the primary function of a Class II Biosafety Cabinet?
