Microbiology Safety Cabinet (Class II) in Kenya
Leading Microbiology Safety Cabinet (Class II) Supplier

A Microbiology Safety Cabinet (Class II) is a crucial piece of laboratory equipment designed to protect both the user and the environment from potentially infectious biological agents. It creates a sterile work environment through a sophisticated system of HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filtered airflow. This controlled airflow pattern draws air inwards from the front opening, preventing airborne contaminants from escaping the cabinet. Simultaneously, a portion of this air is exhausted after being HEPA filtered, ensuring a clean and safe working atmosphere for laboratory personnel and preventing the release of hazardous aerosols into the surrounding environment. In Kenya's rapidly advancing healthcare sector, these cabinets are indispensable for numerous diagnostic and research activities, offering a vital layer of biosafety in clinical microbiology, virology, and molecular diagnostics.

In Kenya, a Class II Microbiology Safety Cabinet is an indispensable piece of equipment for any laboratory handling infectious biological agents. Its primary function is to protect both the laboratory personnel from aerosols and pathogens, and the sample from contamination. This is crucial across a wide spectrum of healthcare and research settings. Whether you are involved in routine diagnostics, advanced research, or the development of new treatments, a Class II BSC is essential for maintaining a safe and controlled working environment. The specific needs vary based on the complexity and scope of the laboratory's operations.

Ensuring the proper functioning and safety of your new Class II Microbiology Safety Cabinet is paramount. Our dedicated team in Kenya follows a rigorous installation process to guarantee optimal performance and compliance with international standards. From initial site preparation to final calibration, we manage every step with precision.

Site Preparation: Before delivery, a suitable location must be identified. This area should be free from excessive air currents, vibrations, and direct sunlight. Adequate space is required for the cabinet, user access, and potential maintenance. Electrical supply requirements will be communicated by our technicians to ensure compatibility with your facility's infrastructure.

Delivery and Unpacking: Our trained personnel will carefully transport the cabinet to your site. Upon arrival, the cabinet will be meticulously unpacked, and all components will be checked against the delivery manifest. Any damage incurred during transit will be documented and addressed immediately.

Installation Steps: The installation involves positioning the cabinet in its designated location, ensuring it is level and stable. Connections for power, and any required exhaust ducting, will be made by certified technicians. Our team will also ensure proper sealing to maintain the integrity of the internal environment. For cabinets requiring external exhaust, detailed guidance on ductwork installation and integration will be provided.

Calibration and Certification: Once physically installed, the cabinet undergoes a comprehensive calibration process. This includes verifying airflow velocities, filter integrity (HEPA), and alarm systems. A final performance test and certification will be conducted by our qualified engineers, confirming that the cabinet meets all specified performance criteria for Class II biological safety. You will receive a detailed certification report for your records.

The cost of a Microbiology Safety Cabinet (Class II) in Kenya can vary significantly based on several factors, including whether you are opting for a brand new unit or a refurbished one, the specific features and brand, and the supplier. These cabinets are essential for protecting both laboratory personnel and the samples from biological hazards.

For brand new Class II Microbiology Safety Cabinets, you can typically expect prices to range from KES 800,000 to KES 2,500,000 and above. This higher end of the spectrum usually includes cabinets with advanced features, higher levels of containment, sophisticated monitoring systems, and from reputable international manufacturers. Smaller, more basic models from emerging brands might fall at the lower end of this range.

Refurbished Class II Microbiology Safety Cabinets offer a more budget-friendly option, with prices generally ranging from KES 350,000 to KES 1,000,000. It's crucial to ensure that any refurbished unit has been professionally serviced, certified, and comes with a warranty to guarantee its performance and safety standards. The quality of the refurbishment and the original manufacturer's reputation will heavily influence the price.

When budgeting, consider that these prices may not always include installation, validation services, or ongoing maintenance, which are critical for ensuring the continued safe and effective operation of the cabinet.

We understand that budget constraints can be a significant factor for healthcare facilities in Kenya. That's why we offer a range of value-focused solutions for your microbiology safety needs. Our portfolio includes high-quality refurbished Class II Biological Safety Cabinets, meticulously inspected and certified to meet rigorous safety standards. These units provide an excellent opportunity to acquire essential biosafety equipment at a fraction of the cost of a new system. Additionally, we often have demonstration (demo) models available, which have been used for showcasing but remain in excellent working condition. For institutions prioritizing essential biosafety features without advanced functionalities, our entry-level systems present a cost-effective way to ensure operator and environmental protection during microbiological work.
