• How often should I certify my Biosafety Cabinet (BSC)?

  Labconco recommends that all BSCs be certified upon installation, on a scheduled annual basis, and whenever the cabinet is moved to a new location to ensure proper safety and performance.

• What maintenance is required for the FreeZone Freeze Dry System?

  Regular maintenance includes defrosting the collector, checking the vacuum pump oil, and ensuring the moisture sensor is clean. The moisture sensor prevents startup if moisture is detected in the collector chamber.

• Can I use flammable gases inside a Labconco BSC?

  The use of flammable gases or solvents should generally be avoided within the cabinet. Excessive heat can alter laminar airflow and potentially damage the HEPA filter. Always consult a Safety Officer before using flammable materials.

• How do I defrost the collector on a FreeZone system?

  Hot water may be poured into the chamber, or collected ice can be allowed to melt naturally. A side-mounted, retractable drain hose is typically provided to drain the water once melted.
