Question & Answers For:
Thermo Scientific 1300 Series A2
Past Questions, Helpful Answers.
What is the purpose of the Thermo Scientific 1300 Series A2 biological safety cabinet?
The Thermo Scientific 1300 Series A2 is designed to provide personnel, product, and environmental protection in laboratories handling biological materials. It ensures a contamination-free workspace by filtering air and preventing the spread of hazardous particles.
How does the Class II, Type A2 classification benefit laboratory applications?
Class II, Type A2 cabinets offer protection against biohazards and cross-contamination by maintaining an inflow of air and filtering both exhaust and recirculated air through a HEPA filter. This ensures a sterile working environment suitable for microbiological research, clinical diagnostics, and pharmaceutical applications.
What are the key safety features of this cabinet?
The cabinet is engineered for superior safety, incorporating a HEPA filtration system, an air barrier to prevent contamination, and NSF/ANSI 49 compliance to meet stringent safety standards. Additionally, the ergonomic design minimizes user fatigue while maintaining containment efficiency.
What materials are used in the construction of this cabinet?
The cabinet is available in two configurations: one with a glare-free painted interior and another with a seamless stainless steel interior. Both options are designed to ensure durability, easy cleaning, and optimal contamination control.
How energy-efficient is the Thermo Scientific 1300 Series A2?
This biological safety cabinet is designed for low energy consumption while maintaining high performance. Advanced airflow technology reduces power usage and heat output, making it an environmentally friendly choice for laboratories.
Does this cabinet require ductwork for installation?
No, the Thermo Scientific 1300 Series A2 operates as a recirculating system, meaning it does not require ductwork. It can be easily installed in various laboratory settings without additional ventilation modifications.
How does the cabinet enhance user comfort and ergonomics?
The cabinet is designed with a sloped front for better visibility, a low noise level for a quieter workspace, and armrest support to reduce strain during prolonged use. The intuitive control panel also allows for easy operation and monitoring.
What type of filtration system is used?
The cabinet features a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filtration system, which captures 99.99% of particles as small as 0.3 microns, ensuring a clean and safe working environment.
Can this cabinet be used for chemical applications?
The Thermo Scientific 1300 Series A2 is primarily designed for biological safety. It is not suitable for handling volatile toxic chemicals or radionuclides unless properly configured with an external exhaust system.
