The laboratory environment requires the highest degree of accuracy and safety possible. When dealing with various biological specimens, it is essential to have equipment that provides safety for the user, the environment and the sample. Among the different tools in a laboratory, the Class II Biosafety Cabinet (CBC II) is essential for working with biological agents.
Kalstein’s CBC II is designed to be used in different types of laboratories: microbiological, clinical diagnostic, research, pharmaceutical and other high security laboratories. It is mainly used for working with moderate to high risk biological agents, such as bacteria, viruses and prions. It also provides a sterile environment suitable for the safe handling of these agents.
Features of the Kalstein Biosafety Cabinet Class II
The Kalstein CBC II is an accessory that ensures the safety of personnel, the laboratory sample and the environment in general. The equipment has built-in HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filters that retain 99.97% of microscopic-sized particles. In addition, it has a laminar air flow, which minimizes cross-contamination.
This equipment also has a fan speed control and an alarm system that warns of any irregularity in the air flow. In terms of design, its work surface is made of stainless steel, providing durability and resistance to corrosive chemicals.
