The Ai 4 Ft Class II Type B2 Biosafety Cabinet is an essential laboratory tool designed for high-level protection when handling hazardous biological agents, volatile chemicals, and potentially dangerous specimens. This refurbished unit (2022 model) offers NSF Certification, ensuring it meets rigorous safety standards for laboratory work involving COVID-19, HIV, chemotherapy specimens, radioactive materials, and toxic substances.

Key Features

1. Fully Vented, HEPA-Filtered Exhaust

   • The Type B2 model ensures that all air is 100% vented outdoors, with HEPA filtration to remove harmful particles and pathogens from the exhaust, making it suitable for handling hazardous chemicals and infectious materials safely.

2. Dual HEPA Filtration

   • Equipped with two HEPA filters for air intake and exhaust, offering 99.999% efficiency at 0.3 µm particle size. A filter hour indicator and life bar on the controller remind users when filter replacement is necessary (recommended interval: 4,000 hours).

3. Motorized Front Glass Panel

   • The motorized front glass allows for easy height adjustment with an optional foot switch. This ensures ease of use while maintaining containment and safety.

4. UV Light

   • Includes a 30W germicidal UV lamp for surface decontamination, with an UV light life indicator. It is designed to be used only when the front glass panel is fully closed.

5. Waterproof In-Chamber Power Sockets

   • Four waterproof power outlets are available for equipment use inside the chamber, with a maximum of 500 watts per outlet.

6. Easy-to-Clean Stainless Steel Chamber

   • The 304 stainless steel chamber is easy to clean, and the work surface is removable for regular maintenance. The chamber is designed to prevent contamination, providing a sterile environment for handling sensitive materials.

7. Anti-Mold and Antiseptic Coating

   • The unit housing is specially treated with an anti-mold and antiseptic coating to prevent contamination and ensure long-term cleanliness.

8. Automatic Flow Speed Adjustment

   • The system automatically adjusts airflow speed for optimal safety. The cabinet also includes an auto start/stop function for the UV light.

9. Safety Alarms

   • The cabinet includes multiple safety features such as an abnormal airflow alarm, filter replacement alarm, and unsafe glass panel height alarm to ensure optimal safety at all times.

Installation and Setup

• Installation Requirements: The Type B2 biosafety cabinet requires a ventilation ductwork system (not included) for 100% vented outdoor operation.
• Heavy Installation: Installation requires a forklift or crane due to the size and weight of the unit.

Important Guidelines for Use

• Disinfection Process:

  • Before Use: Close the front glass panel and run the UV light for 30 minutes to disinfect the workspace. Users should leave the room during this period.
  • During Use: Raise the glass panel to the recommended height (10") and allow air circulation for 10 minutes.
  • After Use: Close the glass panel and turn on the UV light again for 30 minutes to decontaminate the workspace.

• Chemical Safety:

  • Avoid using flammable, explosive, or toxic chemicals in the cabinet as these can damage the HEPA filters or create hazardous conditions.
  • Do not use open flames inside the cabinet, as this will disrupt airflow patterns and compromise containment.

• Disinfecting the Cabinet:

  • Use disinfectants such as sodium hypochlorite (bleach), phenolics, or quaternary ammonium compounds to disinfect the surfaces of the biosafety cabinet, depending on the specific materials being handled.
