Laminar airflow cabinets provide a particle-free work area through parallel, non-turbulent airflow. Class 100 cabinets allow no more than 100 particles per cubic foot between 0.5-5 microns. HEPA filters remove 99.995% of particles 0.3 microns or larger. Biological safety cabinets include Class I, II, and III, which provide different levels of protection for the operator, environment, and product based on the biological hazards being used.

particles from changing direction (turbolence) What is “Class 100” ?
The class of laminar airflow determines the
maximum number of particles in a given volume of air. Class 100 is a U.S. Federal Standard (209e) which states that in a cubic foot of air there is a maximum of 100 particles with dimensions of 0.5 to 5 microns diameters, but none with a diameter of 5 microns or greater What is a “Class 100 Laminar Flow” Cabinet ?
A Class 100 Laminar Flow cabinet is obtained
when, in the presence of laminar airflow, the particle contamination in 1 cubic foot of air does not exceed 100 parts with a diameter range of 0.5 to 5 microns. In addition, the laminar air velocity must be within 0.35 to 0.55 m/sec. (U.S. Federal Standard 209e). What is horizontal and vertical laminar flow ?
In horizontal laminar flow, a horizontal flow of air
passes over the work area towards the operator. This has the advantage that particle contamination from equipment or the operator’s hands does not fall onto the work surface.However horizontal flow does not offer operator protection, and for this application a vertical flow of air from the top of the cabinet to the work surface is required. What is a HEPA Filter ?
A HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filter is
a fiberglass filter sealed with epoxy resin into an aluminium frame. Its efficiency must be higher than 99.995% MPPS (= 99.999 % DOP with 0.3 microns particle size) to ensure a performance exceeding the requirements of EN1822, Federal Standard 209e, BS 5295, VDI 2083 What is a Microbiological Safety Cabinet?
Microbiological Safety Cabinets are designed
to give operator and environmental protection when handling dangerous biological material. It is important to distinguish between “laminar flow cabinets” which provide a particle free work area and “Microbiological Safety Cabinets” which give operator and environmental protection What type of biological hazards exist ?
The Dangerous Patogens Advisory
Group of Department of Health and Social Security (DPAG, DHSS - UK) and the Center for Disease Control (CDC - USA) have defined four groups of biologically hazardous organisms What type of biological hazards exist ?
Group 1 CDC (C - DPAG): Organisms are
most unlikely to cause human disease Group 2 CDC (B1 - DPAG): Organisms may cause human disease, but are unlikely to spread to the community and effective treatment is usually available. What type of biological hazards exist ?
Group 3 CDC (B1, B2 - DPAG): Organisms
may cause severe human disease and may spread to the community, but effective treatment is usually available. Group 4 CDC (A - DPAG): Organisms cause severe human disease that may spread to the community, and no effective treatment is available What type of Biological Safety Cabinets are available ?
The European Norm EN12469 defines three
types of Microbiological Safety Cabinets (MSC)
Class I Class II Class III MSC Class I
It is an open-fronted safety cabinet with room
air flowing in to provide containment, and an HEPA filter on the exhaust. It gives operator and environmental protection but no product protection. Suitable for Group 1, 2, 3 organisms (CDC) or B1,B2, C (DPAG) MSC Class I MSC Class II
It is an open-fronted safety cabinet with drawn
in air, a vertical laminar airflow over the work surface and an HEPA filter on the exhaust. It provides operator, environmental and product protection Suitable for Group 1, 2, 3 organisms (CDC) or B1,B2, C (DPAG) MSC Class II MSC Class III
It is a totally enclosed gas-tight cabinet, where
the operator will use glove ports to gain access. Air is drawn into the cabinet and exhausted through HEPA filters, while the whole unit is under negative pressure. It provides operator and environmental protection Suitable for Group 1, 2, 3, 4 organisms (CDC) or A,B1,B2, C (DPAG) MSC Class III US Classification according with NSF 49 (National Sanitation Foundation)
This norm has divided the Class II cabinets in
four types according to the different air circuit: CLASS II A2 CLASS II B1 CLASS II B2 CLASS II B3 CLASS II A2
30% of air is exhausted to the room and 70% is
recirculated. Air barrier speed = 0.4 m/sec CLASS II B1
70% of air is exhausted, pulled through
dedicated exhaust duct into facility exhaust system;and 30% is recirculated. Air barrier speed = 0.51 m/sec CLASS II B2
100% of air is exhausted, pulled through
dedicated exhaust duct into facility exhaust system. Air barrier speed = 0.51 m/sec CLASS II B3
30% of air is exhausted to a facility exhaust
system and 70% is recirculated. Air barrier speed = 0.51 m/sec
