subject: Customized Bench Top Biological Safety Cabinet [print this page] Weiber high quality Bench Top Biological Safety Cabinets are designed to be hard ducted to the outside. However, most classes of BSCs have a secondary purpose to maintain the sterility of materials inside the product. Several different types of Bench Top Biological Safety Cabinet exist, differentiated by the degree of bio-containment required. Biological safety cabinets are designed to provide personnel, product and environmental protection from hazardous particulates such as agents that require Biosafety Level 1, 2 or 3 containment. Weiber Bench Top Biological Safety Cabinets can be customized as per the specifications required by clients. Other appropriate applications include work with antineoplastic drugs, genetic material, asbestos and additional substances that generate hazardous airborne particulates.
All Weiber models are NSF-Listed. Bench Top Biological Safety Cabinet designs permit different airflow patterns, velocities, HEPA air filter position, ventilation rates and exhaust methods, a sub-classification of Type is needed to differentiate Biological Safety Cabinets. Biological Safety Cabinets can be differentiated by a variety of design and performance factors. These include face velocity, air recirculation proportion, contaminated plenum pressure and exhaust function. The work area of the Bench Top Biological Safety Cabinet is continuously bathed with positive pressure ISO 5/Class 100 HEPA-filtered air to protect the product from contamination while an inward airflow protects the user. Bench Top Biological Safety Cabinet is designed for the safe handling of cytotoxic agents and other hazardous drugs in Laboratory, Pharmacy and Oncology settings. Prevention of cross-contamination is perhaps ensured more by good aseptic technique than by any action of the cabinet itself.
Custom Bench Top Biological Safety Cabinets offer Class I, II & III level of protection for personnel, product, and the environment for applications involving high-throughput robotic systems, large high-speed cell sorters, ultra-centrifuges, and laboratory equipment requiring all class level protection from potentially harmful aerosols and airborne particles. The primary purpose of a BSC is to serve as the primary means to protect the laboratory worker and the surrounding environment from pathogens. The cabinets are equipped with high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters and provide user with a safe mechanism in handling microorganisms. Weiber ergonomically designed Bench Top Biological Safety Cabinet escape infectious aerosols from the cabinet.
Bench Top Biological Safety Cabinet is widely used in clinical, hospital, life science, research and pharmaceutical laboratories. Bench Top Biosafety Cabinet eliminates cross-contamination and the accidental release of pathogenic microorganisms or carcinogenic aerosols and drugs to the outside atmosphere. Other applications for Bench Top Biological Safety Cabinets include handling materials such as pollen, powders, allergens, dust, pathogen-free animals and plants.
