Class II Biological Safety Cabinet
Biological Safety Cabinet 11231BBC86, with three protections: operator, sample and environment.
Airflow system: 70% air recirculation, 30% air exhaust.
This is suitable for working with microbiological research in the absence of volatile or toxic chemicals and radionuclide.
- Small dimension, save space.
- Centrifugal fan, speed, adjustable; H14 HEPA filter.
- Large LCD display: Operators can check detailed status of the cabinet, such as inflow and downflow velocity, work area temperature and humidity, filter pressure, UV working time and filter working time, filter life indicator etc.
- Time reserve function: This can save 30 minutes waiting time after activating the cabinet and the sterilization time after experiment.
- Remote control: Each function can be realized 6 meters away from the cabinet by remote control, which can protect the operator under emergency.
- Motorized front window: The front window is motorized for convenient, one-hand operation.
- Voice prompt function: Airflow alarm, filter replacing alarm and front window height alarm.

What are the suitable applications for Class II Biosafety Cabinet?
Handling of low to moderate risk biological agents -Applicable for handling pathogens under Risk Groups 1,2, and 3
What type of protection does Class II BSC offer?
Class II Biosafety Cabinets are open-fronted which protect the laboratory workers and the environment from harmful biological agents. Class II BSCs also prevent biological materials (i.e cell cultures, microbiological stocks) inside it from being contaminated.
Can I handle body fluids such as blood, serum, and urine samples in a class II BSC?
Yes, Class II BSC is the most common type used for handling blood, serum, and urine samples. The Class II BSC provides a sterile environment for the samples and reduces the risk of cross-contamination while protecting the operators from the biohazards.
Can we use chemicals in a Class II BSC?
Some microbiological processes require small amounts of chemicals. This type of handling is allowed as biological safety cabinets may be upgraded to have a thimble ducting or carbon filter to accommodate small volumes of chemicals. However, a high concentration of corrosive acids is not allowed as it may damage the ULPA filters and cause corrosion.
Can a microscope be used in a Class II Biological Safety Cabinet?
Yes. For additional convenience, Class II BSCs can be customized to have a microscope pouch. Please contact your local Lorderan representative for more information.
What is the shelf life of HEPA or ULPA filters?
The estimated shelf life of HEPA or ULPA filters is up to 10 years when stored properly.
How to store HEPA or ULPA filters properly?
Filters should be kept in their original packaging and should not be exposed to dampness, excessive heat, cold or rapidly changing temperatures. These filters can tolerate up to 95% humidity; anything higher can cause the filter media to block and fail.
