Lab safety
Telstar has launched BioMax, a new large-scale Class II biological safety cabinet designed to support objects over 500mm high or deep inside the cabinet, such as cytometers and robots, requiring user protection during manipulation. The new series of extra-large cabinets ensure triple protection while offering more workspace for the user. These range of cabinets provide an alternative to product handling processes that require the use of large protective devices that, when used in standard-sized installation, could interfere with the correct operation and lead to loss of effectiveness of the biosafety cabinet.
Adapted to incorporate a particle counter system for those applications requiring control under the new GMP Annex 1 environment, BioMax is a new model belonging to Telstar’s range of ergonomic human-centred biosafety cabinets intended for use in high-risk microbiological research, ensuring maximum protection for the user, the product and the environment, and reducing the risks associated with biosafety levels 1, 2 and 3.
BioMax is also fitted with the innovative antimicrobial bacteriological barrier Zerocoat, a photocatalytic treatment based on titanium dioxide that provides the interior of the cabinet with a self-cleaning surface which breaks down organic matter when the light system is triggered, and fully protects the work surface and, among other variables, endows the stainless steel that surrounds the chamber interior with a high potential antimicrobial power. This equipment offers low noise levels, less power consumption and minimal maintenance costs.
The design of a new extra-large CBS range responds to the growing need for stringent regulations in biological safety environments. This requirement has expanded to include activities that previously didn't require such measures. Additionally, the increased emphasis on protection aligns with the upward trend in research capacity and awareness.
