This interview with Seth De Penning provides valuable insights into the essential role of Biological Safety Cabinets (BSCs) in ensuring personnel safety and environmental protection. De Penning highlights NuAire's standout features, including configurability and extended HEPA filter lifespan. A biological safety cabinet is a piece of equipment designed to contain hazardous airborne particles, ensuring the safety of personnel and their surroundings during various processes.
These cabinets are essential in environments where a controlled space is needed, such as in microbiology laboratories and drug compounding pharmacies. NuAire seeks to differentiate its biological safety cabinets by offering a configurable product with a competitive total cost of ownership. We achieve this by offering a portfolio of BSCs that give the customer a choice in control panels, work access opening heights, work zone configurations, base stand options, and much more.
Regardless of the configuration selected, we minimize expensive HEPA filter changes by using a blower-motor and plenum combination that can overcome filter loading for a long time, resulting in an attractive long term cost of ownership. HEPA filters are what clean the air that a biosafety cabinet exhausts, and, in the case of Class II BSCs, the air that flows down into the interior where the work is done. The frequency with which these filters are changed will impact the amount of time the BSC is out of use for service and the amount th.
