General Notes – 4.4
Ø
Do not store equipment inside the Microbiological Safety Cabinet. The amount of
equipment should be kept to a minimum to reduce the disruption to the airflow patterns
within the cabinet.
Ø
A Bunsen burner should not be used inside the cabinet.
Ø
The failsafe solenoid operated gas valve (If fitted) will only allow gas to flow when the
cabinet is switched on and there is a satisfactory airflow. Any interruption in the power supply
or failure of air supply necessitates manual resetting of the valve by depressing the switch on
the control panel marked ‘gas valve’.
Ø
As a safety feature the UV tubes (If fitted) are interlinked with the cabinet lights to
prevent them being used when the cabinet is in use.
We recommend cabinet users to consult their own laboratory safety information. Other
publications available include:
Science Reviews Ltd, Occupational Hygiene Monograph No.9
British Standard BS EN 12469:2000 & 5726-2000 Part 5
Australian Standard AS2567
American National Sanitation Foundation Standard No. 49
We would also recommend the latest guidelines issued by the UK Advisory Committee on
Dangerous Pathogens (ACDP). These documents contain much useful information on the
performance, installation, testing, use and limitations of Microbiological Safety Cabinets.
