Biobase BSC-1300IIB2 Biological Safety Cabinet
The BSC-1300IIB2 is a Class II Type B2 total-exhaust biosafety cabinet engineered for 100% direct exhaust of contaminated air, eliminating any internal recirculation. This ensures zero risk of chemical vapor or aerosol buildup, making it the gold-standard for manipulating volatile toxic chemicals, radionuclides, carcinogens, and BSL-3 agents. Ideal for oncology pharmacies, radiochemistry labs, and high-containment microbiology, it delivers triple-layer protection (personnel, product, environment) via a hard-ducted, externally vented system with negative pressure plenums and dual HEPA filtration.
Description
Airflow and Filtration Performance: Delivers inflow velocity of 0.55 ± 0.025 m/s and downflow velocity of 0.35 ± 0.025 m/s for a stable laminar barrier. 100% of internal air is exhausted through dual HEPA filters (99.999% at 0.3 μm) into a dedicated facility exhaust system (requires 600–800 CFM capacity). Real-time differential pressure sensors monitor work zone, supply plenum, and exhaust plenum, with auto-compensation for filter loading. Visual flow indicators and audible alarms trigger instantly for flow deviations, sash violations, or pressure loss, ensuring NSF/ANSI 49 and EN 12469 compliance.
Work Surface and Accessibility: Expansive internal work zone of 1320 × 600 × 660 mm (W × D × H)** supports large-scale operations like multi-drug compounding, radioisotope labeling, or multi-channel pipetting**. Motorized front sash with 420 mm max opening and 200 mm safe working height; 10° angled front reduces glare and strain. One-piece 304 stainless-steel work tray with lip-sealed edges and integrated spill containment (up to 1.5 L), plus drain valve for easy decontamination. Removable in sections for autoclaving.
User Interface and Operational Features: 8-inch color touchscreen with graphical airflow mapping, real-time pressure trends, and multilingual interface (up to 10 languages). SmartLock™ interlock system disables UV when sash is open or blower off. Programmable UV timer (0–240 min), delayed start/shutdown, and power-loss memory. Dual-zone LED lighting (≥1300 lux) with dimming control. ≤60 dB whisper-quiet EC blower. Includes hands-free foot switch, anti-static armrests, and voice-guided alerts (optional).
Sterilization and Maintenance: Dual 30W UV-C lamps (top and rear) with independent timers and hour meters; automatic shutoff with sash closure. Tool-free HEPA filter change via front access; bag-in/bag-out (BIBO) option available. PAO/DEHS challenge ports pre-installed for annual certification. Separated base frame allows filter replacement without moving cabinet. All interior surfaces in 304L stainless steel with coved corners; exterior in anti-corrosion epoxy coating.
Electrical and Environmental Specifications: AC 220V/50Hz, 650W (cabinet only; external exhaust blower separate). EC variable-speed motor reduces energy use by 70% vs. AC models. Operates in 15–32°C, ≤85% RH. Triple negative pressure monitoring (work zone, downflow, exhaust) with ±5 Pa resolution. Requires dedicated 10-inch exhaust duct with thimble or canopy connection and interlocked damper. GFCI-protected dual 220V outlets inside chamber.
Dimensions and Installation Flexibility: External dimensions: 1500 × 800 × 2250 mm (W × D × H); net weight 220 kg. Includes hydraulic height-adjustable stand (700–950 mm) and lockable casters. Top exhaust collar (10-inch) supports rigid or flexible ducting. Front service panels enable in-situ filter testing. Requires 40 cm side/rear clearance and ceiling height ≥2.7 m for duct routing. Seismic anchoring points included.
- Throughput and Workflow: 24/7 continuous operation; supports high-volume cytotoxic compounding (up to 100 preps/shift) or radio-pharmacy workflows.
- Detection and Monitoring: Quad-sensor array (inflow, downflow, exhaust pressure, sash position); logs 50,000+ events with timestamped airflow graphs.
- Detection Principle: 100% HEPA-filtered total exhaust, laminar downflow, negative pressure containment, no recirculation.
- Additional Features: Built-in thermal printer with customizable templates (usage logs, filter status, alarm history); RS485/Modbus for BMS integration; USB-C export; supports external barcode scanner.
- Data Storage: 200,000+ records including pressure trends, UV cycles, sash usage, and error codes; cloud sync option via Ethernet.
- Sample Handling Modes: Optimized for volatile solvents, powders, radioisotopes, and biohazards; compatible with sealed transfer hatches, RTP ports, and glovebox integration.
