07. Biosafety Pass Box For Cleanroom

Product Features and Applications

Biosafety Pass Box

A Biosafety Pass Box for cleanrooms is a specialized enclosure designed to facilitate the safe transfer of materials between different areas of a cleanroom while maintaining the integrity of the controlled environment. It acts as a barrier, preventing cross-contamination and ensuring the safe exchange of items.

Difference between Biological Safety Pass Box and Conventional Dynamic Pass Box

Biological Safety Pass Boxes and Dynamic Pass Boxes are both utilized for material transfer between distinct clean areas. Their primary differentiation lies in their focus on biological safety and purification methods. Biological Safety Pass Boxes are specifically designed for handling hazardous biological materials, while Dynamic Pass Boxes are designed to meet the general cleanroom material transfer needs.

FeatureBiological Safety Pass BoxConventional Dynamic Pass Box
Containment and Sterility LevelDesigned with HEPA or ULPA filtration, VHP sterilization, etc., to ensure biological safety and purification of materialsFocuses more on preventing particle contamination and maintaining cleanroom cleanliness, with less emphasis on biological safety
Decontamination MethodsUtilizes filtration, VHP sterilization, liquid spraying, immersion, etc., to ensure materials are free from pathogens and harmful contaminantsTypically emphasizes air filtration and particle control
ApplicationsUsed in laboratories handling biohazards, pathogens, and infectious materialsEmployed in industries like electronics manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and optics, mainly to prevent particle contamination affecting product quality
Manufacturing DesignEquipped with leak-tight doors, inflatable seals, automatic pressure testing and a pressure maintenance system to achieve tight sealingFeatures internal negative or positive pressure design, common silicone seals for controlling airborne particle contamination
Regulatory ComplianceAdheres to both biological safety and cleanroom standards, prioritizing biological safety regulations and guidelinesComplies with cleanroom standards and regulations, with a greater focus on particle control and cleanliness
