APPLICATIONS
Gelman RadGuard Class II Type A2 Biological Safety Cabinets are designed to provide a high degree of personnel, product and environment protection in applications involving the handling of radioactive materials and compounding of radiopharmaceuticals. The cabinets are suitable for work with low to moderate risk biological agents that require Biosafety Level 1, 2 or 3 containment.

The RadGuard Biological Safety Cabinet has complete lead shielding in the walls and floor of the work zone and is an effective laboratory aid in providing total protection for :

  • all personnel and environment from any aerosol, particles or vapours and potentially radioactive hazards during compounding.
  • drug products so that they are prepared or dispensed in an environment free from particulates including biological matters.
  • maintenance and testing personnel from exposure to the residue of drug products which may contaminate cabinet filters, mechanical components and other surfaces.

When ventilated to the outside atmosphere via a facility exhaust system after HEPA filtration, the cabinets are suitable for work with biological agents treated with minute quantities of volatile toxic chemicals and trace amounts of radionuclides that will not interfere with the work if recirculated in the downflow air.

OPERATION
The RadGuard Biological Safety Cabinets maintain a minimum average inflow velocity of 100 fpm through the work access opening.
An effective air barrier between the operator and the work zone, maintained by an inflow of room air into a full-width front grille in the work opening provides personnel and environment protection.
The barrier air blends with the contaminated work area air in a sump beneath the work surface and is partially recirculated back to the work area through a supply HEPA filter on top of the work zone.
The recirculated air is HEPA-filtered to create an ultra-clean work environment for the preparation of drug products.
The remaining contaminated work area air is exhausted to the laboratory or outside atmosphere after HEPA filtration.
The RadGuard Biological Safety Cabinets have all contaminated ducts and plenums under negative pressure with an airflow circulation to exhaust ratio of 70% : 30%.
The GELMAN ZERO-LEAK airflow system ensures that all positive pressure zones are surrounded by negative pressure zones tocontain potentially-hazardous aerosols.
