Microbiological Safety Cabinets used in Gene Therapy

Oct 13 2020

Gene Therapy is a rapidly expanding market within the biotechnology industry. Using techniques such as CRIPSR, a gene editing technology, the aim is to treat and prevent diseases. By inserting or altering harmful genes in a patient cell, it can reduce the need for surgeries or drugs.

The UK is at the forefront of advancing Gene Therapy technology accounting for 12% of global gene and cell trials. Innovation hubs such as those in White City, London and Stevenage have spearheaded this development.

To carry out experimental work, companies require specialist systems and infrastructure. Biopharma Group recently installed 10 Premium 212 Microbiological Safety cabinets to a Gene Therapy company based in white City, London. This is now the second company within the emerging hub of innovative life sciences start-ups to install Faster cabinets.

A Microbiological safety cabinet provides product, personnel and environmental protection while handling biological samples such as in tissue culture, biological testing and pathogenic samples.

The ambient air is drawn in from slots at the stainless-steel base of the front opening and passes under the work surface, where it is drawn up and blown into the plenum of the re-circulating and exhaust fan(s).

The ‘bio-dynamic sealing system’ of the negative pressure plenum ensures that all contaminated particles are kept inside the system and are automatically drawn to the plenum or pressure chamber to be captured by the main re-circulating and exhaust filters, thus protecting the user, product and environment.

The Biopharma Group is always ready to provide advice on your requirements. The company regularly visit sites to help decisions such as locations and carry out site surveys. They also keep stock of most Class II cabinets.
