Labconco PuriCare 31162100 Class II/Type A1 Biosafety Cabinet with Stand

This Labconco PuriCare laminar flow hood is in excellent condition and includes a telescoping base stand - as seen in photos.

The Labconco PuriCare 31162100 Class II, Type A1 Biological Safety Cabinet delivers exceptional contamination control specifically optimized for life science research, vivariums, and small animal procedures. Engineered to provide simultaneous personnel, product, and environmental protection, this high-performance workstation isolates hazardous particulates while maintaining a clean, cross-contamination-free workspace.

Featuring an energy-efficient design, the Type A1 configuration safely recirculates HEPA-filtered air back into the laboratory environment, eliminating the strict necessity for complex external exhaust ducting. It provides a reliable barrier for handling low-to-moderate risk agents requiring Biosafety Level 1 or 2 containment.

Key Performance Specifications:

Classification: Class II, Type A1 (NSF/ANSI 49 certified for comprehensive biosafety)

Airflow Dynamics: 70% recirculated through supply HEPA filter; 30% exhausted back into the lab

Supply HEPA Filter (P/N 3838403): 72 x 18 x 3.06"

Exhaust HEPA Filter (P/N 3838503): 48 x 18 x 5.88"

Inflow Velocity: Maintained at a nominal 105 feet per minute (fpm) to prevent vapor escape

Downflow Velocity:Uniform 55 fpm laminar flow protects internal samples from cross-contamination

Filter Efficiency: Dual HEPA filters rated at 99.99% efficiency for particles down to 0.3 microns

Air Cleanliness: Achieves strict ISO Class 5 (Grade A) cleanroom conditions inside the chamber

Sash Opening Height: 12"

Electrical Output: 115V, 60Hz operation equipped with internal splash-resistant GFI duplex outlets

Standout Features:

Extended HEPA Filter Life: Integrated specialized prefilters located beneath the work surface trap animal dander, hair, and larger debris before they reach the primary HEPA filters, drastically reducing long-term maintenance costs.

Intrinsically Safe Containment: Designed with negative pressure plenums that capture potential leaks and ensure contaminated air cannot escape into the laboratory room environment.

Ergonomic Visual Workspace: A sloped, fully closing 1/4-inch tempered safety glass sash reduces operator fatigue and glare, featuring an anti-racking mechanism for seamless position adjustments.

Robust Materials: The interior chamber features a heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant Type 304 stainless steel liner paired with a removable work surface for effortless wipe-downs and sterilization.
