SC Plus™ Class II A2 Biological Safety Cabinet
Allentown SC Plus – a Class II Type A2 biological safety cabinet designed for cage changing and rodent handling in animal facilities. Its extra-large 305 mm sash opening, dual HEPA filters and dual ECM blowers give full protection to animals, staff and the room, in line with EN 12469 and NSF/ANSI 49.
SC Plus™ Class II A2 Biological Safety Cabinet – cage change and animal handling cabinet for animal facilities
The SC Plus™ from Allentown is a Class II Type A2 biological safety cabinet built specifically for animal facilities. HEPA-filtered, ISO Class 5 laminar downflow and HEPA-filtered exhaust provide full separation between the work area and the room, protecting animals, personnel and the environment during cage changes and rodent procedures. A second ECM blower supplies the additional airflow needed for a 305 mm sash opening – larger than in standard laboratory cabinets – so cages can be handled comfortably inside the work zone.
The colour display with MyLogic™ shows filter, cabinet, UV lamp and airflow status in plain sentences, making daily operation and programming straightforward. The cabinet is available in three widths and with three stand options, including an electric hydraulic lift stand for ergonomic height adjustment.
