The Ultima Class II Biological Safety Cabinet series is designed in accordance with recognised BS EN and ISO standards for microbiological safety cabinets and is fully tested and certified to ensure compliance with established performance and validation protocols.
Ultima cabinets comply with ISO standards across three vital areas:
Not all cabinets available on the market meet these requirements across each of these areas. A decision to use such equipment should be taken only after careful consideration of the risk posed by the materials to be handled and with the agreement of those who will operate the equipment. (See current and proposed Health and Safety Regulations).
AES Environmental, through its NATA-accredited laboratory (No. 1139), offers comprehensive on-site maintenance, testing, and certification services for safety cabinets, laminar flow workstations, cleanrooms, and HEPA filter installations. It is recommended all BSC’s should be at least once a year accredited to an approved standard and adjusted by a competent technician, preferably from an independent ILAC/NATA accredited laboratory.
UltraSafe Class II Biological Safety cabinets are factory tested and certified by a NATA Accredited laboratory. Additional on-site testing and certification is recommended as follows:
In special circumstances, such as significant change in the work programme, or where unsafe cabinet operation is suspected.
Welded one-piece stainless steel work zone: Smooth radius corners, and removable work tray eliminate crevices where contaminants could collect, making cleaning and decontamination fast and effective.
Sash window: Constructed from 6mm toughened glass, with actuator-driven locking ensures stability and prevents accidental drops, while the mechanism is positioned outside the negative plenum for safer servicing.
Integrated LED lighting: Delivers bright illumination without heat, and the large side windows improve visibility, ideal for both daily operation and training scenarios.
Watertight welded sump: provides spill retention capacity, giving additional security when handling liquids.
