FOREWORD
BI0 cabinets provide vertical laminar-flow. Most of the air is
recirculated through the HEPA filter, with part being expelled into
the environment through the exhaust outlet. BI0 cabinets operate
under negative pressure after sterilisation through the HEPA filter
and provide Class 100 air according to Federal Standard 209e. They
therefore protect the product from micro-organisms and air borne
contaminants. The balanced, perforated work surface and design of
the working aperture provide an excellent flow laminarity at the
work level.
APPLICATIONS
These cabinets have been specifically designed to meet the demands
of modern industrial laboratories, primarily for handling cell
cultures and no-hazardous biological agents, when it is necessary to
ensure product protection.
BI0 cabinets have applications in a wide range of disciplines,
including:
- Quality control of pharmaceuticals and food industries
- Microbiology
- Cell culture
- Sterile handling
SPECIFICATIONS
Construction for mod. BI0 48/60/72:
AISI-304 stainless steel to provide hygienic
conditions.
Construction for mod. BI0 48M/60-M/72-M:
corrosion resistant epoxy powder painted
steel.
Work surface:
glazed AISI-stainless steel completely
perforated to ensure flow laminarity and air recycling at the work
surface level.
Transparent side walls:
safety glass.
Absolute filter:
HEPA filter, tested with D. O. P. aerosol.
Their efficiency, higher than 99.999% at 0.3 micron particle size
-0.001%penetration -ensures performance exceeding requirements of U.
S. Federal Standard 209 e, British Standard 5295, VDI-2083 and AS
1386-1976.
Motor blower:
direct coupled motor, electronic speed
controlled to maintain a constant air flow of 0.45 m/sec, and
compensate for a partially clogged filter up to a maximum plenum
pressure of 40 mm of water.
Power Supply:
220 V, 50 Hz, single phase. Other voltages
available on request.
Lighting:
remote mounted fluorescent light, outside sterile area.
Front window:
safety glass window with camlock.
Spillage tray:
a painted spillage tray for mod. BIO-M or
AISI-304 stainless steel spillage tray for mod. BI0 beneath the work
surface collects spilt liquid.
Additional Features:
the work area is equipped with a manual gas
tap and IP-44 electrical socket. |
