Stainless Steel Work Deck
With the viewing panel removed (or raised and supported by the shocks / liing chains), the work platform and
its support can be easily separated and removed. If the Class II, Type A2 Biosafety Cabinet has been used with
potential pathogens, the cabinet should first be decontaminated before disassembling.
During routine cleaning of the work platform, its perforated support and the rear and side walls can be
decontaminated by using a sponge or squeeze bole containing a biocide specific to the organisms being
worked with. Spilled material within the chamber should be made safe by the addition of an appropriate
germicide, followed by the appropriate cleaning procedures. For initial cleaning and daily maintenance, the
interior of the chamber should be completely wiped with 70% alcohol, using a so cloth. Aer cleaning, surfaces
should be wiped down with sterile water to prevent chemicals from damaging the surfaces. The outside of the
all stainless steel units may be similarly maintained.
