What it is
The Thermo Scientific 1300 Series is a Class II, Type A2 biological safety cabinet, which is a type of containment work station designed for laboratory use.[2][4][5][3][6]
The 1300 Series A2 cabinet provides protection for the user, the environment, and the research materials from biological hazards and cross-contamination.[4][3]
How it works
Biological safety cabinets of this class use HEPA filtration to remove airborne contaminants, with a portion of the air recirculated within the work area and the remainder exhausted through a HEPA filter, generally back into the laboratory or connected to an external exhaust system.[4][3]
The 1300 Series A2 utilizes Thermo Scientific SmartFlow technology, which automates airflow compensation to maintain proper downflow and inflow velocities.[3]
The cabinet features a Digital Airflow Verification (DAVe) system that alerts the user when airflow falls out of tolerance, and an intuitive control panel displays real-time performance data including downflow and inflow velocities and filter reserve status.[3]
Applications
The 1300 Series A2 biological safety cabinet is intended for use in routine laboratory applications requiring personnel, environmental, and product protection from biological hazards and contamination, including cell culture, clinical research, life science research, and microbiology.[3]
The cabinet can be connected to an external exhaust system to allow work with volatile toxic chemicals that are sometimes used within the cabinet.[3]

Frequently asked questions
What NSI/ANSI standard is the 1300 Series A2 certified to?
The 1300 Series A2 biological safety cabinet has been tested and certified in accordance with NSF/ANSI 49.[4]
What are the available widths for the 1300 Series A2 cabinet?
The 1300 Series A2 is available in three-foot, four-foot, five-foot, and six-foot widths.[4][3]
What type of filters does the 1300 Series A2 use?
The 1300 Series A2 cabinet uses H14 HEPA filters that remove airborne contaminants, with a filter specification of 99.995% @ MPPS per EN 1822.[3]
What is the SmartClean front window design?
The SmartClean front window design allows the sash to be easily lowered for thorough cleaning of inner surfaces while maintaining inflow even when the window is lowered.[3]
What is the Night Set-Back Mode?
Night Set-Back Mode reduces airflow to 30% during low-usage periods for energy savings.[3]
