Gelman BioGuard-Plus Series Class II Type A2 Laminar Flow Biological Safety Cabinets with its unique primary containment HEPA filtration system are designed to provide maximum degree of personnel, product and environment protection for work with low to moderate risk biological agents that require Biosafety Level 1, 2 or 3 containment.
When ventilated to the outside atmosphere via a facility exhaust system after HEPA filtration, the cabinets are suitable for work with biological agents treated with minute quantities of volatile toxic chemicals and trace amounts of radionuclides that will not interfere with the work if recirculated in the downflow air.

The BioGuard-Plus Series Class II Type A2 cabinets maintain a minimum average inflow velocity of 100 fpm through the work access opening.
An effective air barrier between the operator and the work zone, maintained by an inflow of room air into a full-width front grille in the work opening provides personnel and environment protection.
The barrier air blends with the contaminated work area air and passes through a prefilter and primary containment HEPA filter located below the work zone. The filters arrest particulate and biological contaminants released within the work zone, thereby protecting fans and other internal cabinet components.
The filtered air is partially recirculated back to the work area through a supply HEPA filter on top of the work zone. The recirculated air is HEPA-filtered to create a biological-clean work environment for absolute product protection.
The remaining filtered air is discharged to the laboratory or outside atmosphere via an exhaust HEPA filter.
The BioGuard-Plus Class II Type A2 Series cabinets have all contaminated ducts and plenums under negative pressure.
The GELMAN ZERO-LEAK airflow system ensures that all positive pressure zones are surrounded by negative pressure zones to contain potentially-hazardous aerosols.
