Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is a Class II, Type A2/B2 Biosafety Cabinet?

Dyna’s Class II, Type A2/B2 Biosafety Cabinet is a dual-mode containment solution designed to operate flexibly in either Type A2 or Type B2 mode. It provides personnel, product, and environmental protection and can handle a wide range of applications—from microbiological tasks to chemical handling—based on your lab’s airflow and safety needs.

How does the Type A2/B2 Biosafety Cabinet differ from separate A2 and B2 cabinets?

The Type A2/B2 (C1) Biosafety Cabinet offers the functionality of both A2 and B2 cabinets in a single unit, eliminating the need for multiple cabinets and allowing users to switch modes instantly based on lab requirements.

What are the benefits of EC Motor technology in this BSC?

EC motors optimize airflow control, improving energy efficiency and reducing operational costs, while ensuring stable containment performance.

Can this cabinet be used for pharmaceutical and chemical applications?

Yes! The Type A2/B2 Biosafety Cabinet is ideal for pharmaceutical testing, chemical research, and handling cytotoxic substances, as it provides both recirculating and 100% exhaust airflow options.

What is the advantage of a dual-mode A2/B2 BSC?

This hybrid model gives you the versatility to switch between:

Type A2 mode for microbiological work with limited or no volatile chemicals.
Type B2 mode for applications involving hazardous chemicals or cytotoxic drugs, where 100% air exhaust is required.

It’s ideal for labs that need a multi-purpose biosafety cabinet without investing in two separate units.

How does the airflow system work in Dyna’s A2/B2 Biosafety Cabinet?

In Type A2 mode, the cabinet recirculates 70% of the air through HEPA filters and exhausts 30%.
In Type B2 mode, it functions as a total exhaust cabinet, with 100% of the air being ducted out, preventing chemical buildup inside the workspace.

This airflow system is supported by dual blowers and intelligent sensors that automatically balance airflows when switching modes.

Is Dyna’s A2/B2 cabinet equipped with filter safety features?

Yes. It includes:

Dual HEPA filters (supply and exhaust)
Filter choking indicators
Real-time airflow velocity display
Audio-visual alarms for unsafe airflow conditions

These ensure continuous protection and easy maintenance.

Can I use the cabinet for cytotoxic drug compounding?

Yes. When used in Type B2 mode, this cabinet is compliant with safe handling practices for cytotoxic drugs, hazardous chemicals, and chemotherapy preparations. It is ideal for applications where 100% air exhaust and zero recirculation are mandated.

What industries typically use this dual-mode cabinet?

Dyna’s Type A2/B2 Biosafety Cabinets are used across:

Pharmaceutical R\&D labs
Hospital pharmacies
Biotech and cell culture facilities
Oncology drug compounding
Academic research labs

What sizes are available in Dyna’s A2/B2 Biosafety Cabinet range?

These cabinets are available in 3ft, 4ft, 5ft, and 6ft models, allowing you to select based on space availability and workflow requirements.

Is there an option for ductless operation in A2 mode?

Yes. In Type A2 mode, the cabinet can function ductless, returning filtered air back to the room. This is suitable for non-toxic biological handling. However, external ducting is required for B2 mode to exhaust hazardous fumes safely.

How is switching between A2 and B2 modes managed?

The cabinet features microprocessor-based controls that manage airflow balance, detect filter performance, and provide alerts. Switching modes involves configuring the exhaust system and airflow settings to comply with the respective standard (A2 or B2), supported by intelligent fail-safe mechanisms.
