Cell Logic Class II, Type A2 Biosafety Cabinets (BSCs) provide superior personnel, product and environmental protection from hazardous particulates, including agents requiring BSL 1-4 containment. These BSCs are designed to meet the specific needs of cell research. Models feature a modified sash to accommodate a microscope and/or a temperature-controlled work area on the work surface to maintain cell viability.
Designed for versatility, these BSCs exhaust HEPA-filtered air into the laboratory, or into an exhaust system through the optional Ventus II Canopy Connection. When canopy-connected the Logic BSC can be used for applications involving minute quantities of volatile toxic chemicals and trace amounts of radionuclides.
During operation, room air is drawn into the inlet grill of the Logic BSC. The air in the plenum beneath the work surface is a mix of unfiltered room air and the air that has just passed through the work area. This contaminated air is drawn by the ECM blower through the back plenum of the BSC, where approximately 70% is recirculated through the supply HEPA filter and back over the work area, providing an ISO Class 5 work environment. The remaining contaminated air is discharged into the environment after passing through the exhaust high-efficiency HEPA filter.
