General Description – 1.1
Your BioMAT 1 Microbiological Safety Cabinet has been designed to provide optimum
performance for operator protection. Using the latest in microprocessor and fan technology, it
is designed to exceed the performance requirements of the European Microbiological Safety
Cabinet Standard EN12469:2000. The safety cabinet carcass and all seals are maintained under
negative pressure ensuring air cannot leak out during normal operation.
Class 1 Safety Cabinets offer a high level of operator protection; they ensure any aerosols
generated within the cabinet are filtered via high efficiency filtration (HEPA) prior to being
dispersed back into the laboratory or to atmosphere. Operator protection is provided by a
constant inflow of air through the working aperture of the front screen.
The Class 1 Microbiological Safety Cabinet can be supplied as standard in either of the
following two modes:
Ø
Re-circulating Type – Exhaust air from the safety cabinet is passed through two
high efficiency filters (HEPA) before being released back into the laboratory. The
exhaust air is made up of 100% of the total air volume handled by the safety
cabinet.
Ø
Exhaust Type – Exhaust air from the safety cabinet is passed through a high
efficiency filter (HEPA) before being extracted to atmosphere through a fan
assisted extract system. The exhaust air is made up of 100% of the total air
volume handled by the safety cabinet.
