Air Science Purair BIO Class II A2 Biological Safety Cabinet, with Base Stand
The Purair BIO is designed to protect individuals, the environment, and products from a variety of biological particulates, serving as the primary barrier in life science research and experimentation. As a Class II Type A2 biosafety cabinet, the Purair BIO minimizes and contains Biosafety Level 1-3 agents, maintaining negative pressure inside the cabinet during operation to prevent contaminants from escaping the work area. HEPA filtration scours 70 % of the incoming room air to protect the products, while the remaining 30 % of the exhausted air is filtered by a second HEPA filter. Purair BIO cabinets provide ample workspace with environmentally sound operation and low energy consumption.
ISO Class 5, Biosafety Level 1, 2 or 3 Containment, Base Stand Included
Product Dimensions: W 56.3" × D 34.9" × H 64.2"
- User Interface: Ergonomics, safety and aesthetics all come together with the 10º pitch of the face
- Removable Tray: Raised one-piece work surface lifts and removes for easy surface decontaminaton
- Durable Interior: The Purair BIO utilizes a heavy-gauge, one-piece liner with coved corners for easy cleaning and durability
- Standard Control System: Reliable rocker switches and easy-to-read gauge for safety and durability
- Analog Minihelic gauge verifies airflow; On/Off switches are provided for interior lighting, UV lamp, interior outlet activation and fan; Sash alarm indicator activates an audible and visual warning of unsafe sash position (8 inches or 20 cm from the bottom of cabinet); Mute button silences the alarm for a specified time; On/Off switch controls main power
- Double-wall Plenum Design: Double-wall design creates a unique plenum which surrounds contaminated areas with negative pressure, preventing the possibility of contamination from leaks in filter seal, gasket or cabinet structure
- Ergonomic Fit: The angled front, narrow-front grille, raised armrest and frameless sash create an ergonomic work environment. Unique front grille designed to provide the maximum product and personnel protection
- Clean: Single-piece stainless-steel work tray and front grille, lower drain pan with angled side, and single-piece work zone liner eliminate joints for superior cleanability
- Safe: HEPA filters (Class H14) tested to a typical efficiency of >99.99 % for 0.3 micron particles
- Robust Cabinet Construction: Key components, including fluorescent lamps, motor capacitor, electrical harness, electronic ballast, and switch control are mounted outside the airstream and away from contaminated air to permit service without decontamination
- Surround Air Intake Grill: All contaminated air is enclosed in the work area. No safety dead zone
- Optional Mounting Stand: Stand height of 26" (660 mm) creates work surface height of 29.4" (746 mm) for seated position. To configure height for standing position, contact Air Science
- Safety Interlock Feature: Activates the fan and fluorescent light in the cabinet automatically when the sash window is opened. The UV light is also automatically switched off during this time. When the window is fully closed, the UV light is switched on and the fluorescent lamp and fan are turned off automatically
- Standards Compliant: The Purair BIO undergoes 10 internal quality tests prior to leaving the factory, including pressure decay testing, downflow velocity testing and HEPA filter leak testing
