Working Purpose
The OPXICA Laminar Air Flow (Vertical) OPX-267 is used to create a controlled, filtered airflow environment for laboratory work that requires reduced airborne particulate contamination. The cabinet directs air through a filtration system and across the working surface to help protect exposed materials from contamination by airborne particles.
It can be used for activities such as plant tissue culture preparation, media handling, sample preparation, and selected microbiological or molecular biology procedures where a clean work zone is required.
Common applications include:
-
Plant tissue culture laboratories
-
Biotechnology laboratories
-
Microbiology laboratories
-
Molecular biology laboratories
-
Research and educational institutions
-
Pharmaceutical laboratory preparation areas
-
Aseptic sample and media handling
Important: A conventional laminar air flow cabinet generally protects the work or sample from airborne contamination. It does not necessarily protect the operator or surrounding environment from infectious agents, hazardous chemicals, or aerosols. Hazardous microbiological work may require a suitably certified biological safety cabinet.
Why Choose the OPXICA Laminar Air Flow OPX-267?
The OPXICA OPX-267 series offers multiple cabinet sizes, an SS-304 worktable, acrylic side panels, LED illumination, and a UV germicidal lamp. These features make it suitable for laboratories that need a dedicated clean working area for appropriate aseptic procedures.
The three listed configurations allow laboratories to select a working width according to their available space and daily requirements. Buyers can discuss filter specifications, airflow performance, electrical requirements, and optional monitoring features with OPXICA before selecting a model.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What is the OPXICA Laminar Air Flow OPX-267 used for?
The OPX-267 is designed to provide a filtered working environment for applications such as plant tissue culture, microbiology, molecular biology, and selected aseptic laboratory procedures.
2. What is a vertical laminar air flow cabinet?
A vertical laminar air flow cabinet directs filtered air downward through the working area. This airflow helps reduce airborne particulate contamination around exposed samples and materials.
3. Which sizes are available in the OPX-267 series?
The supplied models include three working sizes:
-
OPX-267(A): 600 × 600 × 600 mm
-
OPX-267(B): 900 × 600 × 600 mm
-
OPX-267(C): 1200 × 600 × 600 mm
4. What material is used for the worktable?
The listed OPX-267 configurations feature an SS-304 stainless steel worktable.
5. Does the OPX-267 have LED lighting?
Yes. All three listed configurations include 20W LED illumination.
6. What type of UV lamp is provided?
The OPX-267(A) is specified with a 15W UV germicidal lamp, while the OPX-267(B) and OPX-267(C) are specified with 30W lamps.
7. What is the blower motor capacity?
The supplied specifications list a 1/4 HP blower motor for all three models.
8. What is the power supply requirement?
The listed power supply is 220V AC, 50Hz. Confirm the actual voltage tolerance and electrical protection features with the supplier.
9. Is the OPX-267 suitable for plant tissue culture?
Yes. Vertical laminar air flow cabinets are commonly used for suitable plant tissue culture activities that require a clean working area.
10. Can this cabinet be used in microbiology laboratories?
It may be used for appropriate microbiology procedures that require a clean work zone. Procedures involving infectious or hazardous biological materials may require a biological safety cabinet instead.
11. What is the purpose of the HEPA filter?
A HEPA filter removes airborne particles from the air passing through it. The filter’s efficiency and certification should be checked against the requirements of the selected OPX-267 configuration.
12. What is the purpose of the UV germicidal lamp?
The UV lamp supports surface and work-zone decontamination procedures under suitable operating conditions. UV exposure can injure the eyes and skin, so the lamp must be used with appropriate safeguards and only when the cabinet is unoccupied.
13. Does the OPX-267 have acrylic side panels?
Yes. Acrylic side panels are specified for all three supplied configurations.
14. Which OPX-267 model should I choose?
The choice depends on the available laboratory space, required working width, and the number of users. The 600 mm model is the smallest listed option, followed by the 900 mm and 1200 mm models.
15. Can the OPX-267 be used for molecular biology?
Yes, it can be considered for molecular biology tasks that require a clean working environment, provided the selected model meets the specific procedure’s contamination-control requirements.
16. Does the OPX-267 protect laboratory personnel from hazardous biological materials?
Not necessarily. Standard laminar air flow cabinets are designed primarily to protect the work area from airborne contamination. Work involving potentially infectious agents or hazardous aerosols requires an appropriate biological safety cabinet.
17. What should buyers check before ordering?
Buyers should confirm the working dimensions, HEPA filter grade and test certificate, airflow velocity, UV safety interlock, electrical protection, and any required digital monitoring features.
18. Why choose OPXICA Laminar Air Flow OPX-267?
The OPX-267 series offers three size options with SS-304 worktables, acrylic side panels, LED illumination, UV lamps, and a 1/4 HP blower motor. It can be selected for suitable laboratory workflows that require filtered airflow and a dedicated clean working area.
