Microbiological Safety Cabinet Msc

Inflow air is hepa filtered before entering the class 3 biological safety cabinet via a side mounted inlet filter chamber.

Microbiological safety cabinet msc.

Class i biological safety cabinets provide operator and environmental protection but not product protection. They are suitable for use with hazard group 1 2 or 3 organisms subject to risk assessment. This biological safety cabinet combines smart design and extraordinary value with best in class energy efficiency reliability and usability. Class i msc are open fronted units which continuously draw air into the cabinet and out through a hepa filter.

With advanced internal airflow and motor technology msc advantage cabinets offer. Exhaust air is hepa filtered before leaving the safety cabinet via a single or double. Conserve energy with thermo scientific msc advantage class ii biological safety cabinets which combine smart design and extraordinary value with best in class energy efficiency reliability and usability resulting in an overall improvement to operation and maintenance. However when a microbiological safety cabinet is in a containment level 3 or 4 cl3 cl4 laboratory and therefore working with hg3 or hg4 biological agents the advisory committee on dangerous pathogens acdp advises to test the performance of the msc at six monthly intervals.

According to bs en 12469 2000 and the advisory committee on dangerous pathogens acdp microbiological safety cabinets msc should be fumigated. Before any work on the safety cabinet where access to potentially contaminated parts is necessary including pre filter and main filter changes. Class 3 microbiological safety cabinets provide total barrier protection for the operator and are suitable for extreme bio hazard work.
