Reliable protection and ease of use: the BYKG-I cabinet for essential biosafety needs
The Class I BYKG-I Biological Safety Cabinet, designed by BioBase, meets the fundamental needs of laboratories in terms of operator and environmental protection. Unlike Class II models, this cabinet does not provide product protection, but it serves as an effective barrier against the spread of hazardous biological particles, particularly in the context of handling microorganisms, pathogenic samples, or other biological agents with moderate risk. This model is especially suitable for research facilities, educational laboratories, or medical institutions requiring a compact and efficient solution.
The BYKG-I operates on a simple principle of inward airflow, filtered through a high-efficiency HEPA filter that captures 99.995% of 0.3-micron particles. This system ensures that expelled air is free of contaminated agents, significantly reducing the risk of operator exposure. The non-recirculated air intake provides continuous ventilation of the workspace, ensuring a safer atmosphere when handling biologically hazardous materials.
This cabinet is built with durable and hygienic materials. Its work surface is made of 304 stainless steel, which facilitates cleaning and minimizes the risk of corrosion or cross-contamination. The main body is made of PMMA, a transparent plastic material that offers excellent visibility of the workspace while being lightweight and sturdy. This makes the device easy to install and move as needed within the laboratory.
On a practical level, the BYKG-I operates on a standard 220V power supply and consumes only 150W, making it an energy-efficient solution suitable for daily use. It is equipped with an LED lamp for optimal lighting of the work area, as well as a 15W UV lamp for sterilizing the space between uses. This dual configuration helps reduce the risk of residual contamination.
The noise level remains below 60 dB, making it suitable even in quiet environments such as analysis or research laboratories. Its ventilation system maintains an airflow speed greater than 0.3 m/s, in compliance with safety requirements for this type of equipment.
The BYKG-I model also stands out for its compact footprint. With a width of only 55 cm, it can be easily integrated into small workspaces. Its net weight of 38 kg allows for effortless transport and installation, especially thanks to the optional height-adjustable stand, which ensures improved ergonomics for the user.
The BYKG-I offers a reliable and accessible solution for professionals seeking a simple and effective protective barrier. Its easy maintenance, low energy consumption, and compliance with standard safety requirements make it a relevant choice for laboratories aiming to control biological risks without compromising the efficiency of their daily work.
