Description

Professional Class II Biological Safety Cabinet for Laboratory Containment

The Ai BC-4F 4 Ft Class II Type A2 Biosafety Cabinet is a NSF/ANSI 49 certified biological safety cabinet designed to provide maximum protection for laboratory personnel, sensitive samples, and the surrounding environment when working with potentially infectious biological materials.

A biosafety cabinet (BSC)—also known as a biological safety cabinet or microbiological safety cabinet—is an enclosed, ventilated laboratory workstation used for safely handling pathogens that require a defined biosafety level.

This Class II Type A2 biosafety cabinet uses dual HEPA filtration and controlled laminar airflow to maintain a sterile working environment while preventing contaminated air from escaping into the laboratory. It is ideal for laboratories performing microbiology, virology, pharmaceutical research, clinical diagnostics, and COVID-19 specimen handling.

Unlike laminar flow clean benches that blow unfiltered air toward the user, the Ai biosafety cabinet HEPA-filters all exhaust air, capturing bacteria, viruses, and other harmful particles before the air exits the cabinet.


Key Features of the Ai Class II Type A2 Biosafety Cabinet

NSF/ANSI 49 Certified

Certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 49, ensuring compliance with biosafety containment requirements.

Ideal for Biological & COVID-19 Sample Handling

Designed for safe work with pathogens, microbiological cultures, and viral samples.

Dual HEPA Filtration System

Two HEPA filters with 99.999% efficiency at 0.3 μm capture airborne contaminants to protect both personnel and samples.

Motorized Front Glass Viewing Window

Tempered safety glass window with motorized adjustment and optional foot switch control for safe operation.

UV Sterilization System

Built-in 30W germicidal UV lamp (253.7 nm) disinfects the cabinet chamber before and after use.

Advanced LCD Control Interface

Large LCD controller with soft-touch buttons and remote control allows easy monitoring of cabinet performance.

Automatic Airflow Monitoring

Automatic flow speed adjustment with alarms for abnormal airflow, filter replacement, and unsafe glass height.

Stainless Steel Chamber Construction

Interior 304 stainless steel chamber provides corrosion resistance and easy sanitation.

Integrated Utilities

Includes power outlets, gas port, water port, and hanging bar with hooks for convenient lab operations.

Pneumatic Front Panel Supports

Allows easy cabinet maintenance and service access.


What Is a Class II Type A2 Biosafety Cabinet?

A Class II biosafety cabinet provides protection for:

Laboratory personnel
Environmental safety
Sterility of research samples

Air enters through the front opening, creating an inward airflow barrier that prevents contaminated air from escaping.

Inside the cabinet:

  • 70% of air is recirculated through HEPA filters

  • 30% is exhausted through the top vent

This airflow design maintains clean, sterile conditions while safely containing hazardous biological materials.

Approximately 90% of biosafety cabinets installed worldwide are Type A2 cabinets, making them the most commonly used BSC configuration.


Important Operating Procedure

Before Use

  1. Fully close the front glass panel.

  2. Activate the UV light for 30 minutes to disinfect the chamber.

  3. Leave the room during UV sterilization.

  4. Raise the glass panel to the recommended working height.

  5. Turn on airflow circulation for 10 minutes before beginning work.

After Use

  1. Fully close the glass panel.

  2. Turn on UV light for 30 minutes to complete decontamination.


Biosafety Cabinet Safety Guidelines

For safe operation:

• Do not use flammable or explosive materials
• Avoid volatile chemicals that may damage HEPA filters
• Do not introduce toxic chemical vapors into the cabinet
Open flames are prohibited because they disrupt airflow
• Use ≤10 mL disinfectant (70% alcohol) if needed

Recommended disinfectants:

  • Sodium hypochlorite (bleach)

  • Iodophors (Wescodyne)

  • Phenolics (Hilphene, Vespene)

  • Quaternary ammonium compounds (Conflikt, Endbac II)


Installation Notice

Installation requires a forklift or crane due to the cabinet weight.
