Product Description
The Biological Safety Cabinet Class II A2 is an essential piece of laboratory equipment designed to protect both the operator and the environment from hazardous aerosols generated during handling of potential infectious agents or other dangerous biological specimens. With a cleanliness level of Class 100 at ≥0.5μm as per US Federal Standard 209E, this cabinet ensures an ultra-clean working environment. The efficiency of the unit is further demonstrated by its ability to restrict the number of colonies to ≤0.5pcs/dish·hour using a 90mm culture plate.
Each model, ranging from YR05704 to YR05707, showcases a balanced design tailored for optimum performance. With interior average wind speeds consistent across locations—0.38m/s inside the door, 0.26m/s in the middle, and 0.27m/s inside—the cabinet ensures uniform airflow and containment integrity. Its noise level remains comfortably low, pegged at ≤65dB(A), contributing to a conducive working atmosphere.
