Next Generation Energy Saving Compact Microbiological Safety Cabinets 

Recently launched, Telstar BiOptima is a new ergonomic human-centred Class II MSC designed to be completely adapted to the operator’s physical attributes and requirements. The new Telstar BiOptima, whose applications feature low noise levels, low power consumption and low maintenance costs, is available in two versions. A BiOptima standard version with two HEPA filters, according to the EN12469 standard, for microbiological research with biological agents (bacteria, viruses, etc.) and allergens and BiOptima Cyto, including three HEPA filters, according to the DIN12980 norm, addressed to work with high-risk microbiological and highly toxic applications, such as the production of cytotoxic drugs.

BiOptima standard version provides operator protection with the inflow air barrier, product protection thanks to HEPA-filtered laminar downflow in the working area and environmental protection through the exhaust HEPA filter. BiOptima Cyto is equipped with additional V-shaped HEPA filters underneath the work surface, which filter the inflow air and keep the internal construction of the cabinet free of contamination, ensuring greater safety for high risk applications.

The new cabinet offers a very spacious work area, 550 mm in depth and 700 mm in height, which enables productivity and comfort with plenty of space, in a smart compact design with an overall height of only 1450 mm. Easy to clean, the working chamber in one piece is made in AISI 304 Stainless Steel with rounded edges inside the cabinet to facilitate effective disinfection and maximise contamination prevention. In addition, the electrically operated front window slides upwards offering 500 mm height access.

The Telstar Bio II Advance Plus is a compact microbiological safety cabinet intended for the laminar flow manipulation of microorganisms with biological risk levels 2 and 3 with an innovative design that offers smaller outer frame than the market average whilst maintaining a very comfortable workspace. With dimensions of 759 mm in width and 1260 mm in height, the Bio II Advance Plus provides a working volume of 340 dm3.
