Biological Safety Cabinet YR06541: Ensuring Maximum Protection in Laboratory Environments

Product Description

The YR06541 Biological Safety Cabinet is a state-of-the-art solution designed to protect personnel, products, and the environment. It features a negative pressure system that effectively prevents leaks, making it ideal for laboratories handling biological agents. Utilizing a 70% internal circulation and 30% external exhaust principle, this cabinet ensures optimal airflow and containment.

The structure is crafted from high-quality cold-rolled steel, while the work surface is made from a corrosion-resistant physical-chemical plate. Precision laser cutting and surface treatment with electrostatic epoxy resin guarantee durability. An intelligent control system with an LCD touch panel allows for intuitive monitoring of operational status, ensuring compliance with international standards ISO14644.1 Class 5 (equivalent to US Federal Standard 209E Class 100).

The cabinet is powered by a high-performance German EBM motor, optimized for low energy consumption and designed to minimize turbulence and maintain uniform airflow. It is equipped with high-efficiency HEPA filters for external filtration and ultra-high-efficiency ULPA filters for downward airflow.

Market Price

The YR06541 Biological Safety Cabinet is competitively priced at approximately $2345.00. This price reflects the advanced technology and stringent safety features integrated into the cabinet. Given its robust construction and high efficiency, it represents a valuable investment for laboratories that prioritize safety and compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between ULPA and HEPA filters?

The YR06541 utilizes ULPA filters, which provide an ultra-high-efficiency filtration level of 99.999%. In contrast, HEPA filters offer high efficiency at 99.995%. Both filter types are excellent, but ULPA provides a slightly higher level of purity.

What is the accuracy of the downward airflow control?

The accuracy of the downward airflow control is 0.015 m/s, ensuring uniformity and stability of airflow to maintain sterility within the working area.

What sizes are available for the cabinet?

The YR06541 is available in various sizes, with external dimensions of 1500 mm x 760 mm x 2250 mm and internal dimensions of 1340 mm x 600 mm x 600 mm.

What level of cleanliness does the cabinet guarantee?

The cabinet guarantees Level 5 cleanliness according to the international standard ISO14644.1 (equivalent to US Federal Standard 209E Class 100), which is a strict requirement for sensitive environments.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of the YR06541?

Advantages include superior safety with negative pressure design, high filtration efficiency with dual HEPA and ULPA filters, durable construction, and a high-performance German motor. Disadvantages consist of strict environmental requirements, considerable shipping weight, and limitations related to air flow.

How is the cabinet used in the field?

The YR06541 is essential for handling biological agents of low to moderate risk, such as viruses, bacteria, and cell cultures that require biosecurity. It is a standard choice in microbiology laboratories, hospitals, and biotechnology research centers where product, personnel, and environmental protection is critical.

Pros and Cons

Pros:

• Dual Filtration: Uses external HEPA filters and downward ULPA/HEPA filters, guaranteeing up to 99.999% efficiency.
• Superior Safety (Negative Pressure): The negative pressure design prevents leaks, protecting operators and the environment.
• Optimized Design: Reasonable air duct and optimized negative pressure box for uniform airflow.
• High-Performance German Motor: Uses a low-energy, high-volume EBM motor.
• Durable Construction: Corrosion-resistant cold-rolled steel and epoxy resin surface treatment.

Cons:

• Environmental Requirements: The working environment must be maintained between 10-30°C with relative humidity below 70%.
• Shipping Weight: Considerable shipping weight ranging from 138 kg to 198 kg depending on size, complicating transport and installation.
• Flow Limitations: Although 70% is recirculated internally, the 30% external exhaust requires consideration of an escape ventilation system.

Field Usage

The Class II Type A2 Biological Safety Cabinet is indispensable for handling biological agents of low to moderate risk, such as viruses, bacteria, and cell cultures requiring biosecurity. It is the standard choice in microbiology laboratories, hospitals, and biotechnology and pharmaceutical research centers where the protection of products, personnel, and the environment is critical. Its vibration control capability (mean peak: 3μm) and stable airflow are essential for sensitive experiments.

Recommendations

To ensure longevity and maximum safety, it is recommended to perform regular maintenance on the filters and check calibration of the imported sensor. Confirm that the working environment meets temperature (10-30°C) and humidity (below 70%) requirements. Periodically check the inlet airflow speed (averaging 0.53m/s to 0.56m/s) and downward airflow speed (averaging 0.35m/s) to ensure that negative pressure protection remains effective. Use heavy-duty mobile wheels for initial positioning and ensure stability before operation.
