Page 7: Chapter 1: Introduction
Original instructions ® © Congratulations on the purchase of a Labconco Purifier Logic+ Biosafety Cabinet. The biosafety cabinet is designed to protect you, the product and the laboratory environment from biohazardous aerosols. The Logic+ is the result of years of experience in manufacturing biohazard cabinetry, and users like you suggested many of its features to us. -
Page 8: Chapter 2: Prerequisites
Original instructions Before you install the Logic+, you need to prepare the site for installation. Examine the location where you intend to install the cabinet. You must be certain that the area is level and of solid construction. In addition, a dedicated source of electrical power must be located near the installation site. -
Page 9: Location Requirements
Original instructions Chapter 2: Prerequisites Location Requirements Note: The biosafety cabinet should be located away from traffic patterns, doors, fans, ventilation registers, fume hoods and any other air-handling devices that could disrupt its airflow patterns. All windows in the room should remain closed. -
Page 10: Exhaust Requirements
Note: On 100 and 115 VAC models, both electrical outlets are protected by a ground fault interrupter circuit (GFIC). Labconco does not recommend plugging the biosafety cabinet into a GFIC outlet. Product Service 1-800-522-7658... -

Page 16: Connecting The Biosafety Cabinet To Utility Service Lines
Original instructions Chapter 3: Getting Started Connecting the Biosafety Cabinet to Utility Service Lines Note: Some models have a solenoid valve connected to the service valve on the right side, rear position. The solenoid prevents gas from flowing to the service valve when the unit blower is off. -

Page 21: Hepa Filters
Original instructions All Purifier Logic+ Biosafety Cabinets operate using the following principles: • Filtration and retention of particulates by High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter(s) • Laminar airflow • Directional airflow The major components in a biosafety cabinet are: • The HEPA filter(s) or optional ULPA filters •... -
Page 22: Chapter 4: Performance Features And Safety Precautions
Original instructions Chapter 4: Performance Features and Safety Precautions Note: The HEPA filter media is very fragile. DO NOT touch the media. If you think the media of a HEPA filter is damaged, DO NOT USE THE CABINET. Have the HEPA filter integrity tested by a certifier before using the cabinet. -
Page 23: Laminar Airflow
Original instructions Chapter 4: Performance Features and Safety Precautions Laminar Airflow Laminar airflow is defined as the movement of a body of air in a single direction, with a uniform velocity. In practice, the laminar downflow of air in the cabinet captures any aerosol generated in the work area of the cabinet, and directs it to the HEPA filters. -
Page 24: Directional Airflow
Original instructions Chapter 4: Performance Features and Safety Precautions Directional Airflow Directional airflow also plays a key role in biosafety cabinet performance. Air is drawn into the front of the cabinet at the front grille. This “curtain” of air makes it more difficult for aerosols to escape out of the work area of the cabinet and into the outside environment. -
Page 25: Motor/Blower
The motor utilizes Labconco’s exclusive Constant Airflow Profile (CAP) program to deliver a consistent volume of air, throughout the life of the cabinet. -
Page 26: Cabinet Air Intakes (Grilles), Ductwork & Air Balance Controls
Original instructions Chapter 4: Performance Features and Safety Precautions Cabinet Air Intakes (Grilles), Ductwork and Air Balance Controls The location, size, and pattern of the grilles at the front and rear of the work area affect cabinet containment and performance. Note: Do not block or obstruct the grilles of the biosafety cabinet. -
Page 27: Safety Precautions
HEPA filter during installation or normal operation. If you suspect that a HEPA filter has been damaged, DO NOT use the cabinet; contact a local certification agency or Labconco at 800-821-5525 or 816-333- 8811 for re-certification information. The HEPA filters in the biosafety cabinet will gradually accumulate airborne particulate matter from the room and from work performed in the cabinet. - Page 28 Original instructions Chapter 4: Performance Features and Safety Precautions Proper operation of the cabinet depends largely upon its location and the operator’s work habits. Consult the Installation and Normal Operation sections of this manual for further details. Avoid direct exposure of plastic or coated materials to ultraviolet (UV) radiation.
