New Generation of More Compact Biological Safety Cabinets that Optimise Laboratory Space

Telstar has developed a new generation of biological safety cabinets, which are more compact and optimise the usable work area in laboratories with limited space. Intended for the laminar flow manipulation of microorganisms with biological risk levels 2 and 3, the new range of Telstar Bio II Advance cabinets offers an ergonomic design that adapts easily to small spaces, especially in laboratories with low ceilings and where various pieces of equipment need to be used in the same area. With all the features of a high-end cabinet, the Bio II Advance is designed to protect the user, the sample and the environment, and is notable for its reduced external dimensions while maintaining an optimum inner workspace. With a width of 759mm, the height of the Bio II Advance is up to 20% less than the market average.

The Bio II Advance also incorporates improvements in airflow efficiency. The reduction of the air path in an optimised plenum, combined with automatic microprocessor control, keeps the laminar flow constant and avoids energy loss, reducing heat dissipation and extending the useful life of the filter. As for energy efficiency, this range of cabinets has an Eco Mode function, whereby the cabinet can be put on standby, which keeps the sample protected inside the cabinet while the user performs other tasks, saving energy, reducing residual heat and prolonging the useful life of the filters. Finally, in this range of biosafety cabinets, Telstar has incorporated the 4F system (Fast, Friendly and eFFicient), a patented system that makes it possible to replace the filter in just five minutes thanks to quick access via the front of the cabinet.
