As the Covid-19 pandemic spread across our region in 2020, testing capacity has been greatly expanded to meet the needs. At the heart of a COVID-19 testing lab is a Class II Biosafety Cabinet (BSC). In addition to provide sample protection, a Class II BSC also protects the lab personnel and the environment, both within the lab and in the community.

Our company overcomes the initial stock shortage of BSC, eventually delivers hundreds of BSC as well as other products needed to run COVID1-9 testing to clinical labs in medical centres. We have also helped private corporations to set up testing capacity to serve their employees. See MMC GAMUDA UNVEILS IN-HOUSE PCR LAB | The Star
Thermo Scientific offers certified Class II BSC as specified in NSF/ANSI 49, YY 0569, and other international standards specified by World Health Organization guidelines for handling and processing COVID-19 related specimens https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/lab/lab-biosafety-guidelines.html. The following designs make our BSC uniquely positioned to be used in COVID-19 sample processing:
SmartFlow™ maintains a safe working environment.
Two independent supply and exhaust blowers and two HEPA filters automate balancing of downflow and inflow/exhaust velocities to ensure continuous safe working conditions. Our smart DC motors monitor and control fan speed in real-time to maintain user protection at the access opening, even as the filters load or the line voltage fluctuates.
Digital Airflow Verification (DAVe) validates product and personnel protection.
Independent pressure sensors detect changes in pressure across the exhaust and downflow plenums. An alarm signals when a 20% change in inflow/exhaust or downflow occurs to alert the user if safety is compromised. Airflow velocities are displayed on the control panel for monitoring and recording.
SmartClean™Window Design
To reduce risk of sample contamination, our patented window design easily lowers for thorough cleaning of the window's inner surface. This unique design protects the operator by maintaining inflow even when the window is lowered.
Exceptional Safety
Smooth components are used throughout the cabinet, virtually eliminating the risk of injury during routine cleaning, servicing and maintenance procedures.
Worry-free Decontamination
The easy to use, optional UV light is programmable from 30 minutes to 24 hours in 30-minute increments, extending bulb life and saving energy.
Night-set-back mode saves energy while maintaining a clean work area.
When the front sash is closed, our intelligent speed control automatically reduces blower speed to 30%, extending HEPA filter life and ensuring a sterile working environment even when the cabinet is not in use. This reduced flow mode uses <70W (4 foot cabinet) to operate, and is >75% more energy efficient than similar features on other biological safety cabinets.
