III PROPER CABINET USE
A biological safety cabinet is a valuable supplement to good sterile technique, but is not a replacement for it.
If the cabinet is not understood and operated correctly, it will not provide an adequate protective barrier.
All activities that are to be performed in your cabinet should first be approved by a competent professional,
such as an industrial hygienist or safety officer, to make sure that the cabinet is appropriate for the work it
will be required to do. This person should monitor the cabinet and its operating personnel at regular intervals
to see that it is being used correctly.
In order to keep the interior workspace clean and free of particulates, all Baker biosafety cabinets are
designed for continuous operation. If the blower is turned off, the unit becomes contaminated with room air.
Therefore it is recommended that the blower is left on at all times.
Operation and Controls
The operator controls with indicators are arranged on the front electrical panel of the cabinet. A number of
switches are arranged in a single membrane switch assembly. [Reference Figure 3]
