Ultrasafe60 Class II Biological Safety Cabinets Ultrasafe60
This compact Australian-made Ultrasafe Class II Biological Safety Cabinet features an ergonomically designed operating window that slants away from the operator - a feature that significantly enhances the ease of use without compromising the clean integrity of the work zone.
Add to this a wide range of accessories and the proven reliability of the Email and Clyde-Apac brands, and the Ultrasafe represents excellent value for money in the laminar flow market.
Overview
Ultrasafe cabinets utilise digital technology to maintain constant airflow during normal filter loading or temporary airflow obstruction from foreign objects. Pressure sensor monitoring ensures safe and uniform airflow across the entire work surface of the cabinet. Independent alarm systems immediately alert the user to any airflow obstruction, enhancing safety and performance.
Key Features
- Constant Airflow Maintenance: Digital technology maintains constant airflow, even during filter loading or temporary obstructions.
- Pressure Sensor Monitoring: Ensures safe and uniform airflow across the entire work surface.
- Independent Alarm Systems: Immediate alerts for any airflow obstruction.
- Air Barrier Protection: An air barrier across the work access opening reduces potential risks to personnel from airborne contaminants.
- Class II Models: Airflows mix in the sump before recirculation via a return air plenum to the top housing, with exhaust air passed through a HEPA filter for return to the laboratory.
- Independent Fan/Filter Arrangements: Allows for independent adjustment to maintain an effective air barrier.
- Microprocessor Control: Controls the speed of the blower motors and allows fingertip control of functions and status, including cabinet performance and boost mode.
- Low-Voltage Electronic Touch Controls: Easy-to-read digital display for controlling functions and monitoring status.
- Transparent UV-Resistant Safety Glass: Maximises light and visibility inside the cabinet, providing a bright and open working environment.
- Ergonomic Design: Sloping front, work tray options, and an electric height-adjustable stand offer significantly improved ergonomics compared to traditional cabinets.
Enhanced Safety and Ergonomics
- Comfortable Working Aperture: The 200mm front working aperture does not compromise safety or sample containment while significantly reducing noise levels.
- Nominal Airflow Velocities: Cabinets tested at nominal airflow velocities for added security.
- Dual Fan Design: Ensures safety with minimal protection maintained even if one fan fails.
- Independent H14 HEPA Filters: Supply and exhaust filters provide 99.995% efficiency for particle sizes of 0.1 to 0.3 microns.
- Backup Battery: Maintains alarm function for airflow, power, and pressure alarm in the event of a power failure.
- High-Quality Stainless Steel Work Surfaces: Scratch-free, available as single or segmented modules, easy to clean or autoclave, with indented work modules to trap spilled liquids.
Accessories & Options
- Service Taps: For air, CO2, etc.
- Vacuum Tap: Disc filter holder.
- Extra Power Outlet: One power outlet supplied as standard; additional outlets available.
- Decontamination Panel
- Floor Stand: Semi-adjustable (height to order) and electronically controlled, height-adjustable options.
- Gas Tap: Solenoid-interlocked.
- Exhaust Options: Front, top, left, or right exhaust options available.
The Ultrasafe cabinet combines advanced safety features with user-friendly ergonomics to provide a superior working environment. Designed for maximum protection and comfort, these cabinets are ideal for laboratory settings where safety, reliability, and ease of use are paramount.

- What is a Class 2 Biological safety cabinet?
A Class 2 Biological Safety Cabinet (BSC) is a type of laboratory equipment used to protect the user, the sample, and the environment from exposure to biological materials that may be hazardous. Class 2 BSCs are designed to provide a barrier between the user and the sample and to contain any accidental releases or spills.
Biological safety cabinets are the primary barrier against exposure to aerosols that may be produced from common microbiology procedures. Room air is drawn in through the front grill of the cabinet and is developed for sterile material handling.
Class 2 BSCs are designed for use with low-risk biological materials, such as bacteria or viruses that are not highly infectious or dangerous. They use a combination of physical and airflow barriers to provide a controlled environment for handling biological materials.
- What Australian Standards do I need to know for the installation and maintenance of a Class II BSC?
- AS 2252.4 - 2010: Controlled environments Part 4: Biological safety cabinets Class I and II – Installation and use. This Standard is an excellent source of reference when looking to organise BSC installation in the laboratory. AS 2252.2 – 2009: Controlled environments Part 2: Biological safety cabinets Class II – Design. The Standard states that periodic critical performance tests of the cabinet shall be conducted at least annually and on any change to cabinet position and function.
- Where are the clean air cabinets supplied by Thermoline manufactured?
- All of the cabinets we supply are Australian Made by AES Environmental. AES has several manufacturing locations in Australia, and all of the Laminar Flow and High-Efficiency Filtration products are produced in their Minto, NSW facility.
- Can Thermoline arrange installation and commissioning of my cabinet?
- Yes. Our suppliers have service divisions in most Australian states and territories and relies on qualified partners for other geographical locations. Each team is capable of providing on-site installation and NATA certification.
