Final Purging
• Upon completion of work, the cabinet should be allowed to operate
for two to three minutes undisturbed, to purge airborne contaminants
from the work area.
Unloading Materials and Equipment
• Objects in contact with contaminated material should be surface
decontaminated before removal from the cabinet.
• All open trays or containers should be covered before being removed
from the cabinet.
Wipe-Down
• Wipe down the interior surfaces of the cabinet with 70% ethanol, or a
suitable disinfectant, and allow to dry.
• Periodically lift the work surface and wipe down the area beneath it.
• Inspect and clean the towel catch located at the rear of the work area,
beneath the work pan.
• Dispose of rubber gloves appropriately, and have lab coat laundered
properly.
• Wash hands and arms thoroughly with germicidal soap.
Shutdown
• Lower the sash to turn off the fluorescent light and cabinet blower.
Note: Cell Logic Biosafety Cabinets with Scope-Ready Package will
not allow for easy movement of the sash with the microscope
eyepieces installed. The blower and safety interlock system will
typically work in manual mode for these models unless the
microscope is disengaged from the Pure-Vu Seal.
• If appropriate for Cell Logic Biosafety Cabinets with Temp-Zone
Package, activate the UV light.
