Chapter 2: Prerequisites
Product Service 1-800-522-7658 5
Service Line Requirements
All utility service lines should be ¼ inch O.D., brass, copper, or stainless
steel, and equipped with an easily accessible shut-off valve. If the service
line pressure exceeds 100 PSI, it must be equipped with a pressure regulator
to reduce the line pressure.
Note: The use of flammable gases or solvents should be avoided in the
Biosafety Cabinet. Open flame in the cabinet will disrupt the laminar airflow
in the cabinet and may damage the HEPA filters. Flammable gases or
solvents may reach explosive concentrations in the cabinet or ductwork. If
you feel that the procedure requires the use of an open flame or flammable
materials, contact your institution’s safety office.
The use of air or gases under high pressure should be avoided as they may
seriously disrupt the airflow patterns in the cabinet.
User-Supplied Microscope Requirements –
Purifier Cell Logic Biosafety Cabinets with
Scope-Ready™ Package Only
If installing a microscope, locate the Stand-Still™ Isolation Platform in a
separate box shipped with the cabinet. The Stand-Still Isolation Platform
supports the microscope on top of the stainless steel work surface to
eliminate up to 94% of vibrations and to promote safe airflow. If using a
stereoscope with a forward extending base, the extended Stand-Still XL
Isolation Platform should be ordered from Appendix D: Accessories. Figures
from Appendix F should be used to assist your set-up.
On models with the Scope-Ready package, the Cell Logic Biosafety Cabinet
includes a clear, disposable Pure-Vu™ Seal that can be altered to
accommodate most microscope’s eyepieces. Utilize the Punch Kit
(#4027801), supplied with your cabinet, to cut the two eyepiece holes at
approximately 2.75" (69.9 mm) spacing to match the height of your scope.
As a convenience, pre-cut Pure-Vu eyepiece seals can be ordered from
Appendix D: Accessories. The pre-cut accessory Pure-Vu Seals are based off
the nominal height from the base of the microscope to eyepiece centerline
and can save you valuable time modifying the seal shipped with the Cell
Logic. If using a stereoscope with a forward extending base, one of the Pure-
Vu XL Seals should be ordered from Appendix D: Accessories. Figures from
Appendix F should be used to assist your set-up for all Pure-Vu Seals.
