Exhaust Connection; Microscope Installation (Optional) - Labconco Cell Logic A2 User Manual

Exhaust Connection

Certain applications such as working with odorous products or volatile toxic materials
will require the connection of the unit to an exhaust system.
Note: The canopy connection, also referred to as a thimble or air gap connection,
allows single or multiple biohazard cabinets to be connected to an exhaust system.
During operation, the exhaust system draws all of the cabinet's exhaust air, plus a
volume of room air (through the vent in the canopy) into the exhaust duct. Canopy
connections function as a "shock absorber" allowing the system to function properly
during changes in room air pressure.
Note: If the research involves the use of toxic compounds or volatile materials, contact
the facility's safety officer or Labconco to ensure that the cabinet and its exhaust system
are compatible with the materials you will be working with.

Microscope Installation (optional)

In order to successfully install a user-supplied microscope in a Cell Logic biosafety
cabinet with Scope-Ready package, please follow the steps below and refer to Figure 4-
9 as well as Appendix
Note: The work surface is heavy. Use caution when handling it.
1. Before installing a microscope, locate the Stand-Still™ Isolation Platform that is
packaged in a separate carton underneath the work surface. Note: Stereoscopes
will typically require the Stand-Still XL Isolation Platform; more information can be
found at labconco.com.
2. Install the Stand Still Isolation Platform so that the leading edge is in line with the
work surface leading edge. See
of the Stand-Still Isolation Platform.
3. With the sash in the up position, place a user-supplied microscope inside and on
top of the Stand-Still Isolation Platform. Remove the microscope eyepieces.
4. The Cell Logic biosafety cabinet with Scope-Ready Package includes one Pure-
Vu Seal that requires 0.5" (12.7 mm) diameter holes spaced approximately 2.75"
(69.9 mm) apart and located from the base of the microscope to the centerline of
the eyepiece. The eyepiece holes can be cut with the 0.5" (12.7 mm) diameter
hole Punch Kit (Catalog Number 4027801) supplied with your cabinet.
For your convenience, pre-cut accessory Pure-Vu Seals can be found at labconco.com,
and may be an easier installation.
5. If punching the 0.5" (12.7 mm) diameter holes, with the microscope eyepieces
removed line up the centerline of the eyepiece base with the seal. Then mark the
centerline of each eyepiece hole spaced at approximately 2.75" (69.9 mm).
