Class 2 Microbiological Safety Cabinets
Simpler, safer, quieter and more efficient
Class 2 Microbiological Safety Cabinets
BioMAT Class 2 safety cabinets from Contained Air Solutions offer operational simplicity and robust service performance.
Product details
The 6th generation BioMAT 2 brings together decades of experience in containment design to provide a range of Class 2 microbiological safety cabinets that are simple and safe to use and maintain, quiet and energy efficient in operation.
Application
BioMAT 2 microbiological safety cabinets provide both operator and product protection for the routine handling of biological agents up to Hazard Group 3 (ACDP Publication - Categorisation of Pathogens according to Hazard and Categories of Containment 1990).
Simple to use
The BioMAT 2 range has intuitive controls with crystal clear iconography for ease of operation. The 10cm x 6cm TFT touchscreen provides real-time indication of cabinet operation with a dynamic animated airflow diagram. The engineer’s menu allows rapid and simple adjustment of cabinet fan speed and UV light time function. A simple four digit password protection offers users simple and quick security in maintaining cabinet operations.
Efficient operation
Energy efficient EC fan technology coupled with low loss filters, LED lighting and energy efficient controls provides significantly reduced power consumption. Typical running consumption is just 140W based on a Class 2 cabinet operational performance of 0.6 m/sec inflow and 0.35m/sec downflow. The set-back mode detects unattended cabinet operation and automatically closes visor to 50mm, extinguishes lights and reduces fan speed to maximise energy efficiency (BioMAT 2-S2).
Safe operation
Full width LED light function gives the operator unparalleled, clear and unambiguous indication of any airflow problem. An animated airflow diagram provides instant clear indication of any abnormal cabinet status.
Quiet operation
All BioMAT 2 models are equipped with EC fans. Additional attenuation, low pressure HEPA filters and noise reduction technology ensures the lowest possible noise levels. Typical noise level are just 49dBA (1200mm models).
Helping you reduce carbon
The new BioMat 2 Class 2 Microbiological Safety Cabinet has been awarded CarbonNeutral® product certification. We can make a significant contribution to our customers’ needs for verifiable carbon reduction within laboratory facilities.
Airflow Diagram
Extract air travels through the Class 2 front aperture before passing through a single HEPA filter for exhaust models or double HEPA filters for recirculating type cabinets.
BioMAT 2
The BioMAT 2 offers the proven 200mm fixed aperture design provided by all previous cabinet generations. The visor is secured by simple slide locks and closure is achieved using a night door supplied with each cabinet.
BioMAT 2-S2
The BioMAT 2–S2 offers an aerosol-tight motorised sliding sash front visor, operated using simple p/down arrows on the main control panel. The sliding sash is normally set at 200mm for standard cabinet operation but can be raised to allow passage of large items into the main cabinet working area or lowered to close and seal the cabinet as required.
The S2 visor also incorporates an anti-trap function that automatically raises the glass visor in the event that an obstruction is detected, and a set-back mode that lowers the visor to 50mm and switches off lights when the cabinet is left unattended to maximise energy efficiency.
