Unicorn - Class II Type A2 Biological Safety Cabinet
The Class II biological safety cabinet is a negative pressure safety device which is mainly used for handling pathogenic biological samples or for applications that require a sterile work zone. It adopts advanced air purification technology and negative pressure box design, and it realizes the protection of the environment, users and samples.
A biological safety cabinet is designed to have: an inflow for protecting the operator from harmful agents inside the cabinet, an ULPA filtered downflow which creates an ISO Class 3 work surface that avoid contamination of the work, experiment or process, and an ULPA filtered exhaust for containing contaminants to protect the environment. It is the most basic safety equipment in laboratory biosafety protection.
Unicorn biological safety cabinets exceed current conventional BSC standards and offer outstanding safety when things don’t go as expected.
High Performance Blower
- Stable airflow speed despite voltage fluctuations and filter loading by automatic air volume compensation.
- Communicates with airflow sensor through microprocessor, there is no need for additional manual speed control
- Compact and energy-efficient motor runs cooler than other comparable motors, and consumes less energy.
- Quite operation for any comfortable lab conditions. Longer average motor life eliminates service cost.
ULPA Filtration System
- 10 x filtration efficiency compared to HEPA filter, creating ISO Class 3 cleanliness instead of industry-standard ISO Class 5
- Utilize ULPA filter (per IEST-RP-CC001.3)/H14 per EN1822 instead of H13 HEPA filters used on many BSCs in the market
- 99.999% at 0.1 to 0.3 micron, ULPA as per IEST-RP-CC001.3 USA or >99.999% at MPPS, H14 as per EN 1822 EU
- Leak-free performance test is carried out regarding structural stability and filter integrity prior to product delivery
Airflow Velocity Monitoring
- Imported velocity meter set a new standard in precise downflow airflow speed monitoring to ensure a safe operation.
- Velocity sensor provides instant feedback to the central control system. Auto-adjust BSC airflow as filters load to keep you safe.
- Continuously monitors and maintains inflow and downflow at real-time, and indicated on the large LCD display.
- Alarm thresholds (±10% of the original set point) are strictly controlled. Alerts will be activated if airflow is insufficient.
- High quality pressure sensor indicate real-time negative pressure between two sides of the downflow filter.
Touch Screen Control Panel
- Easy reach & viewing all safety information and performance data on a large touchable screen from a seated position.
- Intuitive interface with easy-to-understand graphics displays airflow velocities, blower condition, filter life, sash status, alarm messages.
- Engage the security lock feature to prevent access to the cabinet by unauthorized or unfamiliar users
- Diagnostics button to easily check the cabinet operating parameters and assist servicing.
Illumination & UV sterilizing
- High quality and brightly fluorescence lamp provides sufficient and uniform illumination for maximum visibility.
- Built-in hidden light tubes ensure excellent protection the eyes of operator from harm and also reduce operator fatigue.
- Interlocking function is integrated in the cabinet’s control system for UV lamp, fluorescent lamp, front sash window.
- Powerful UV irradiation ensures thorough disinfection. UV lamp appointment saves sterilization waiting time.
Tempered Glass Door
- Front sash designed with unobstructed by exterior mounted sash handles ensures convenient use and precise sash opening height position.
- 10°backward-slanted safety grade glass provides a close and comfortable view, with a protection from explosion and UV.
- Counterbalanced sliding sash supported by unique manual lifting system can be raised to a maximum height for easy introduction of large items.
Robust Construction
- All biological safety cabinet structures are subjected to pressure decay method to prevent leakage.
- Seamless, non-porous, autoclavable SUS304 for working table, one-piece side/rear walls and bottom sink.
- Large radius corners is easily cleanable. No welded joints in the work area, reducing the growth of bacteria.
- Removable and divided table top is also available, which is easy to lift, thorough clean and further sterilization.
Recepticles & Service Fixtures
- Waterproof and overload protection. Electrical outlet cover can be opened with one finger and then gently and slowly self-closes.
- Easy to reach service fixture, access for various valves for choice, including Gas, Vacuum, Air, Nitrogen, Water, Universal and etc.
- Optional Vacu-Pass Cord & Cable portal kit for passage of a cable through right-side wall. accommodates cords/cables with different diameters.
Support Stand
- Support stand is provided to ensure the cabinet stability and ergonomic working position.
- Detachable frame stand is convenient for installation, saving valuable lab space and shipping space as well.
- Manual adjustable leveling feet to compensate for uneven floor. Available with castors for easy re-location or transportation.
