CLASS 3/1
BIOLOGICAL SAFETY CABINETS
Class 3/1 Hybrid Biological Safety Cabinets offer the flexibility to operate in either Class 1 or Class 3 configurations. The supplied interchangeable screen allows for seamless switching, providing versatility to adapt to a wide range of applications.
In the Class 1 configuration, a controlled airflow system draws air through the open front, across the work surface, and HEPA-filters the exhaust air, providing protection for the operator and the environment.
The Class 3 configuration, operators work through gloves attached to glove ports, ensuring complete physical barrier protection. This design provides the highest level of protection for operators, products, and the environment.
Both configurations effectively prevent the release of airborne particulate contaminants when handling potentially hazardous materials, ensuring a safe and controlled workspace that adapts to your operational needs.
Class 3/1 Hybrid Biological Safety Cabinets from Contained Air Solutions meet BS EN 12469:2000 standards and can be tailored to your specific requirements.
CLASS 3 AIRFLOW
Inward air passes through a HEPA filter before entering the work area, where it circulates clean air and is HEPA-filtered again before discharge. The discharged air can either be released back into the room (recirculating) or through a building extract system.
CLASS 1 AIRFLOW
Inward air travels through the open front, over the worksurface, and is HEPA-filtered before being discharged either by releasing it back into the room (recirculating) or through a building extract system. (recirculating) or through a building extract system.

I wanted to make sure it was recognised that the lads worked their behinds off to make sure I got my cabinets in place before I left for the day. Deliveries like that make my life much easier!!

The communications generally from CAS were excellent and Brian was great when on site.
The team were extremely hard working with no task being too much trouble, even offering to help other contractors that were working within the small space that we had available to us. They really couldn’t have been any more accommodating.
Just a quick email to say how grateful we are for how everything ran on Friday, we were very impressed by the speed with which everything was smoothed out and taken care of.
