American Instrument Exchange has extensive experience refurbishing used biosafety cabinets for laboratory and cleanroom environments.
Each biosafety cabinet is inspected by our technicians to verify proper blower operation, control functionality, airflow performance, lighting operation, cabinet integrity, and overall system condition prior to shipment. Unless otherwise specified, new HEPA filters are installed at our facility before delivery.
Testing procedures include major elements associated with biosafety cabinet certification to help support certification readiness upon installation at your facility. Final certification should be completed by qualified field technicians after installation in accordance with laboratory and facility requirements.
Biosafety cabinets should be certified by qualified field technicians after installation and before laboratory use.
American Instrument Exchange performs functional testing prior to shipment to support certification readiness upon arrival. Buyers should confirm facility compatibility, electrical requirements, airflow requirements, and certification standards prior to installation.
Certification services are available through our affiliate company, https://aielaboratoryservices.com/, which provides biosafety cabinet certification, testing, and field service support.
Certification requirements may vary depending on laboratory protocols, facility standards, and application requirements.
Biosafety cabinets are oversized laboratory instruments that may require special handling during transportation, delivery, and installation. Buyers should confirm laboratory access dimensions, doorway clearances, electrical compatibility, and final cabinet placement before shipment.
Depending on the installation environment, liftgate delivery, inside delivery services, rigging assistance, or coordinated facility access may be recommended.
The Thermo Scientific 1342 is a Class II Type A2 biosafety cabinet from the 1300 Series, designed to protect personnel, product, and the environment using HEPA-filtered airflow. It is widely used in microbiology, pharmaceutical, clinical, and academic laboratories handling low- to moderate-risk biological agents.
If you’re not sure what type of biosafety cabinet you need – Type A2 or Type B2 – please contact either the sales team at American Instrument Exchange or the technicians at AIE Laboratory Services for more information and guidance.
Like other Class II Type A2 cabinets, the 1342 uses a vertical laminar airflow system:
This balanced airflow system ensures containment and sterility during operation.
The 1342 is designed for low energy consumption, with:
These features make it suitable for labs running cabinets continuously. Like most biosafety cabinets, manufacturer guidance recommends keeping the blower running continuously to maintain a sterile environment and proper containment between uses.
This Thermo 1342 package includes an adjustable height stand,
Yes. As a Class II Type A2 biosafety cabinet, the 1342 can:
This flexibility allows integration into various lab designs. Again, technicians and sales staff at sales team at American Instrument Exchange and AIE Laboratory Services are available to provide information and guidance on different types of BSCs.
The Thermo 1342 BSC is commonly used in cell and tissue culture, microbiology and virology labs, clinical diagnostics, pharmaceutical and biotech research, and more. It is designed for applications requiring sterility, contamination control and operator protection.
The Thermo 1300 Series (including the 1342) is designed for:
Proper maintenance ensures consistent containment and long service life.
A refurbished Thermo 1342 offers:
When properly refurbished, these cabinets deliver excellent performance at a reduced cost.
Not all used biosafety cabinets are safe to operate. Buying from a trusted supplier ensures:
Auctions sell these units untested and uncertified, which can lead to expensive repairs, downtime, or compliance issues.
When properly refurbished by American Instrument Exchange, these cabinets provide equivalent functional performance at a fraction of the cost.
Yes, all equipment from American Instrument Exchange comes with a warranty.
Used/reconditioned/refurbished equipment is tested to make sure it operates to the manufacturer’s specifications and comes with a 90-day warranty (unless otherwise noted). New equipment comes with a warranty from the manufacturer.
Testing requirements vary across all the equipment categories we sell. Temperature controlled units are tested with NIST traceable probes and data loggers. Gaskets, external housing, glass, handles, controls and control screens are all thoroughly inspected for integrity and functionality.
We test all equipment using the manufacturer's parameters and specifications to confirm that the unit operates properly. While we may not be able to test for specific analytical applications we do our best to simulate the conditions under which the equipment will be used in your lab. If you have particular testing requirements please let us know and we’ll work with you to make sure these are addressed during testing.
We can ship products both nationally and internationally using a well-established network of transporters. Smaller items will ship via UPS. Larger equipment will be palletized and shipped either LTL or air-ride, depending on the specific equipment and/or delivery requirements. In many cases we can offer inside delivery.
