    Working in the Cabinet WARNING Never work inside the cabinet when an alarm indicator light is on This section contains some suggested basic work practices that should be observed when using a Biological Safety Cabinet. It is not intended to be a comprehensive list for all applications. A good reference source is The Biosafety In Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories (BMBL) 5 edition published by the U.S.

  • Page 17: Using Ancillary Equipment

    Using Ancillary Equipment The more equipment and material that is placed in the cabinet, the greater the possibility of disrupted air flow. The resulting turbulence can alter the designed airflow and reduce the effectiveness of the cabinet. When equipment which rotates, vibrates or heats is used, be sure to place it at the rear of the work area if possible. This will help minimize the turbulence at the access opening.

    3. Place all items that may have come in contact with the agent(s), such as used pipettes, in a plastic bag or other suitable container. 4. Disinfect the entire inside surface of the cabinet. For additional information on cleaning and disinfecting stainless steel, please refer to: “Decontamination, Sterilization, Disinfection, and Antisepsis”, Vesley, Donald and Lauer, James L., Laboratory Safety Principles and Practices, Second Edition, 1995, Fleming, D.O., Richardson, J.H., Tulis, J.J.

  • Page 19: About The Hepa Filters

    Proven efficiency in all HEPA filters used in Baker cabinets are 99.99% for particles 0.3 microns in diameter. The 0.3 micron particle is used as the basis for filter definition because theoretical studies have shown that filtration efficiency should be at a minimum for particles of this diameter, with efficiency increasing for particles either larger or smaller.
