Thermo Fisher Scientific Class II Type A2 Biological Safety Cabinet

Thermo Fisher Scientific Class II Type A2 Biological Safety Cabinet

Description

The Thermo Fisher Scientific Class II Type A2 Biological Safety Cabinet is designed to provide primary containment for personnel, products, and the environment during laboratory procedures. This cabinet type uses a combination of laminar airflow and HEPA filtration to protect the user from biohazardous materials while maintaining a sterile work zone for sensitive samples. It is a fundamental component for laboratories handling biological agents, ensuring that aerosols generated during work are safely contained and filtered before air is recirculated or exhausted.

Key Features

• Class II Type A2 airflow design provides protection for the operator, the sample, and the surrounding laboratory environment.
• Integrated HEPA filtration ensures high-efficiency particulate air removal for both downflow and exhaust streams.
• Laminar airflow technology maintains a sterile work area by reducing cross-contamination risks across the work surface.
• Ergonomic construction supports comfortable long-term use for laboratory personnel during intensive research tasks.
• Advanced airflow monitoring systems provide real-time feedback to ensure containment parameters are maintained within safe limits.

Applications

• Cell culture preparation and maintenance in sterile environments.
• Handling of biosafety level 1, 2, and 3 agents requiring primary containment.
• Microbiological research and clinical diagnostic procedures.
• Pharmaceutical compounding and sensitive sample manipulation.

Specifications

• Cabinet Type: Class II, Type A2
• Airflow Pattern: 70% Recirculation / 30% Exhaust
• Filtration: HEPA filtered downflow and exhaust air
• Containment Standard: Designed to meet international biosafety standards for Type A2 cabinets

Disclaimer

Biological safety cabinets must be professionally decontaminated and certified on-site by a qualified technician following installation or relocation to ensure continued containment performance and user safety.
