The Thermo Scientific 1361 is a 6-foot Class II Type B2 biosafety cabinet designed for specialized laboratory applications requiring total-exhaust biological containment. Unlike a conventional Type A2 biosafety cabinet that recirculates a portion of HEPA-filtered air within the cabinet, the Thermo 1361 is designed so that 100% of cabinet air is exhausted through a dedicated external exhaust system. This configuration makes the 1361 particularly useful for specialized microbiological, pharmaceutical, toxicology, hazardous-drug, and research applications where limited quantities of volatile toxic chemicals or trace radionuclides may be used in conjunction with biological materials.
The 6-foot work area is an important advantage of the Thermo 1361. With approximately 71.25 inches of usable interior width, the cabinet provides considerably more working room than a 4-foot B2 cabinet. This additional space can accommodate larger experimental setups, multiple culture vessels, sample racks, media containers, aspiration equipment, and other materials while giving researchers more room to organize workflows without unnecessarily crowding the work chamber.
The 1361 combines this large workspace with an 8-inch working sash opening, one-piece 304 stainless steel interior, stainless steel work surface, DC motor technology, and HEPA-filtered supply and exhaust airflow. The stainless steel chamber provides a durable surface well suited to frequent cleaning and disinfection in demanding research and pharmaceutical environments.
Because the Thermo 1361 is a Type B2 total-exhaust cabinet, installation requirements are substantially different from those of a typical Type A2 BSC. The cabinet must be connected to a properly designed external exhaust system, and the laboratory must have sufficient exhaust and makeup-air capacity to support continuous operation. Facility HVAC requirements, ductwork, room balance, exhaust discharge, and certification should therefore be evaluated before purchasing or installing this cabinet.
At American Instrument Exchange, each Thermo Scientific 1361 biosafety cabinet is inspected and tested by our technicians prior to shipment. Unless otherwise specified, new HEPA filters are installed at our facility before delivery. Because a Type B2 cabinet depends on the facility exhaust system to establish its final operating conditions, complete airflow performance must ultimately be verified after installation, connection to the external exhaust system, balancing, and field certification. This refurbished unit is backed by a 90-day warranty from American Instrument Exchange.

The Thermo Scientific 1361 combines the large working area of a 6-foot biosafety cabinet with the specialized airflow characteristics of a Class II Type B2 total-exhaust system.
As a Class II cabinet, the 1361 is designed to provide personnel, product, and environmental protection for appropriate biological procedures. Room air enters through the front opening to help protect the operator, while HEPA-filtered vertical downflow helps maintain a clean work environment for samples and materials inside the cabinet.
The critical distinction is what happens to the air after it moves through the work chamber. In a Type B2 cabinet, contaminated air is collected through the cabinet's grilles, passes through HEPA filtration, and is then removed from the laboratory through the dedicated external exhaust system. Cabinet air is not recirculated back through the work zone.
This total-exhaust arrangement makes the 1361 a specialized choice for laboratories whose procedures require the characteristics of a Type B2 BSC. It can be particularly relevant when biological containment must be combined with appropriate use of limited quantities of volatile toxic chemicals or trace radionuclides.
The 6-foot workspace further distinguishes the 1361. Its approximately 71.25-inch interior width provides significantly more working room than a typical 4-foot cabinet, making it useful for procedures involving larger experimental setups, higher sample volumes, multiple culture vessels, or more extensive equipment inside the work area.
That additional workspace comes with a corresponding facility requirement: a 6-foot Type B2 cabinet represents a substantial exhaust load. Laboratories should therefore evaluate both the physical footprint and the mechanical requirements before selecting the 1361.
The Thermo Scientific 1361 is particularly well suited for laboratories that need both Type B2 total-exhaust containment and a large working area.
A 4-foot B2 cabinet can be sufficient for many procedures, but its workspace may become restrictive when researchers need to accommodate multiple culture vessels, larger experimental setups, extensive sample racks, aspiration equipment, or other supporting materials.
The 1361 provides approximately 71.25 inches of interior working width, allowing researchers to organize more complex workflows while maintaining appropriate separation between clean and potentially contaminated materials.
For pharmaceutical research, hazardous-drug applications, toxicology, microbiology, and other specialized workflows, that additional room can be valuable when procedures cannot be comfortably performed within a smaller cabinet.
The larger cabinet should not automatically be considered the better choice, however. A 6-foot Type B2 BSC generally requires greater facility exhaust capacity than a smaller B2 cabinet and occupies substantially more laboratory space. The 1361 is therefore most appropriate when the laboratory genuinely needs its combination of large workspace and total-exhaust operation.
Understanding the difference between Type B2 and Type A2 biosafety cabinets is essential before selecting the Thermo Scientific 1361.
A Class II Type A2 biosafety cabinet recirculates a substantial portion of HEPA-filtered air within the cabinet while exhausting the remainder through HEPA filtration. For routine cell culture, microbiology, biotechnology, and many other biological research applications, Type A2 cabinets provide an efficient and practical containment solution.
The Thermo 1361 Type B2, by comparison, is designed for total exhaust. Air moving through the cabinet is ultimately discharged from the building through a dedicated exhaust system rather than recirculated through the work chamber.
This configuration can be appropriate for certain procedures involving biological materials together with limited quantities of volatile toxic chemicals or trace radionuclides, provided the work is compatible with Type B2 operation and approved through the laboratory's risk assessment and safety procedures.
It is important to remember that HEPA filters capture particulates; they do not remove chemical vapors or gases. The external exhaust system is therefore fundamental to the B2 configuration when appropriate volatile chemicals are involved.
A Type B2 cabinet should not be selected simply because it sounds more protective than an A2. The correct cabinet type depends on the hazards, procedures, facility infrastructure, and applicable safety requirements.
Facility exhaust capacity is one of the most important considerations when purchasing a Thermo Scientific 1361.
The 1361 must be connected to a properly designed external exhaust system. Thermo's installation documentation specifically calls for consideration of the cabinet's exhaust duct before the installation location is selected and identifies a 10-inch duct path above the cabinet.
The area above the exhaust connection should therefore be evaluated for structural members, utility lines, piping, and other obstructions before the cabinet is installed. Excessive bends or an elbow immediately above the exhaust connection can complicate proper installation.
The building must also provide adequate makeup air to replace the large volume of room air removed during cabinet operation. Insufficient replacement air can affect room pressure relationships and interfere with the operation of the BSC or other laboratory ventilation systems.
Before purchasing a refurbished Thermo 1361, laboratories should have the proposed installation reviewed by qualified facility, HVAC, biosafety, and certification personnel. Important considerations include available exhaust capacity, duct configuration, static pressure, makeup air, room balance, exhaust discharge location, and applicable building and laboratory safety requirements.
This is particularly important when replacing a Type A2 cabinet. Even if the laboratory has sufficient physical space for the 1361, the existing HVAC system may not have the capacity required to operate a 6-foot Type B2 cabinet.
Testing a refurbished Type B2 cabinet requires a different approach from testing a recirculating Type A2 biosafety cabinet because the final airflow performance of the B2 depends on the external exhaust system.
American Instrument Exchange technicians inspect and test the Thermo 1361's controls, electrical systems, alarms, lighting, sash operation, filtration components, and other accessible cabinet functions at our facility. Unless otherwise specified, new HEPA filters are installed before shipment.
The stainless steel interior and work surface are professionally cleaned and inspected, and worn or damaged functional components are repaired or replaced whenever practical as part of the refurbishment process.
However, American Instrument Exchange cannot reproduce every customer's hard-ducted building exhaust system at our warehouse. As a result, final Type B2 airflow conditions cannot be established solely through warehouse testing.
After delivery, the 1361 must be installed, connected to the facility exhaust system, properly balanced, and field certified before being placed into service.
This distinction is particularly important when purchasing a used or refurbished Type B2 cabinet. Successful installation depends on both the condition of the cabinet and its proper integration with the laboratory's mechanical systems.
The Thermo Scientific 1361 may be appropriate for specialized laboratory procedures requiring biological containment together with the total-exhaust characteristics of a Class II Type B2 cabinet.
Potential applications include pharmaceutical research and development, hazardous-drug research and preparation, toxicology, microbiology, virology, biotechnology research, specialized cell culture procedures, and research involving appropriate quantities of volatile toxic chemicals or trace radionuclides.
The suitability of a Type B2 cabinet should always be determined based on the actual materials, quantities, procedures, facility infrastructure, and laboratory risk assessment rather than cabinet classification alone.
The Thermo Scientific 1361 is best suited for pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology facilities, hospital and clinical research laboratories, toxicology laboratories, universities, government research facilities, and other organizations that specifically require Class II Type B2 containment and have the infrastructure necessary to support a large total-exhaust cabinet.
Its 6-foot configuration makes it especially attractive for higher-throughput or equipment-intensive workflows where a 4-foot B2 cabinet does not provide sufficient working room.
For laboratories performing routine cell culture or microbiology without a requirement for total exhaust, a Type A2 cabinet may provide a simpler and substantially less demanding installation.

Specifications compiled from Thermo Scientific manufacturer literature and American Instrument Exchange product information.
The Thermo Scientific 1361 offers a specialized combination of Class II Type B2 total-exhaust containment and a large 6-foot working area. For pharmaceutical, biotechnology, toxicology, microbiology, and other research facilities that specifically require B2 operation, a professionally refurbished 1361 can provide a cost-effective alternative to purchasing a new total-exhaust biosafety cabinet.
The 6-foot configuration is particularly valuable for procedures requiring more working room than a conventional 4-foot B2 can provide. With approximately 72 inches of interior width, researchers have substantial space for culture vessels, sample racks, media containers, aspiration equipment, and other materials used during complex or higher-throughput procedures.
For laboratories replacing an existing 6-foot Type B2 cabinet, a refurbished Thermo 1361 may be especially attractive. B2 installations require dedicated external exhaust infrastructure, and changing to a substantially different cabinet can involve modifications to ductwork, HVAC systems, room balance, and surrounding laboratory equipment. When an appropriate replacement can utilize an existing installation, maintaining a similar cabinet configuration may simplify the project.
The Thermo 1361 also features a one-piece 304 stainless steel interior, stainless steel work surface, 8-inch operating opening, DC motor technology, and factory-installed UV light. Combined with its total-exhaust airflow configuration, these characteristics make it a highly specialized cabinet for laboratories whose applications and facilities genuinely require Type B2 containment.
Every Thermo Scientific 1361 offered by American Instrument Exchange undergoes a detailed inspection, cleaning, refurbishment, and functional testing process prior to shipment. Our technicians evaluate the cabinet's mechanical, electrical, control, blower, alarm, sash, and filtration systems and identify components requiring repair or replacement.
Unless otherwise specified, new HEPA filters are installed at our facility before shipment. The stainless steel interior and work surface are professionally cleaned and inspected, while controls, lighting, electrical components, alarms, sash operation, and other accessible cabinet functions are tested for proper operation.
There is an important distinction, however, between testing a refurbished Type B2 cabinet at our facility and verifying its final containment performance after installation.
The Thermo 1361 depends on a properly designed external exhaust system to establish its final operating conditions. American Instrument Exchange cannot reproduce every customer's hard-ducted building exhaust system at our warehouse. As a result, the cabinet's final airflow performance must be verified after installation, connection to the facility exhaust system, balancing, and field certification.
This distinction is particularly important when purchasing a used or refurbished Type B2 biosafety cabinet. Successful operation depends on both the condition of the cabinet and its proper integration with the laboratory's mechanical systems.
The Thermo Scientific 1361 is a Class II Type B2 biosafety cabinet designed for total-exhaust containment applications. The Thermo 1300 Series B2 platform was tested and certified in accordance with NSF/ANSI 49 requirements.
Proper field certification is essential after installation because the cabinet's performance depends on both the BSC itself and the external exhaust system to which it is connected.
Certification may include inflow and downflow velocity measurements, HEPA filter integrity testing, airflow visualization, alarm verification, sash operation, exhaust performance, and other applicable certification procedures.
Biosafety cabinets should also be recertified at appropriate intervals and following events that may affect containment performance, including relocation, HEPA filter replacement, modifications to the exhaust system, or significant internal service.
For laboratories throughout Greater Boston and New England, AIE Laboratory Services provides biosafety cabinet certification, preventative maintenance, troubleshooting, repairs, HEPA filter replacement, decontamination, and related field services.
Customers planning a Thermo 1361 installation should coordinate facility exhaust work and final cabinet certification so that the complete system can be evaluated under actual operating conditions.
The Thermo Scientific 1361 is a large 6-foot biosafety cabinet and should be carefully planned for before delivery. Customers should verify doorway widths, hallways, elevators, loading areas, ceiling clearance, electrical service, and the dimensions of the final installation location.
For a Type B2 cabinet, however, physical fit is only part of the installation equation.
The Thermo 1361 requires direct connection to a dedicated external exhaust system. The building must provide sufficient exhaust capacity and replacement air to operate the cabinet without creating unacceptable room pressure conditions or interfering with other laboratory ventilation equipment.
The 1361 requires approximately 998 CFM of exhaust airflow, making HVAC capacity an especially important consideration. The exhaust system must also be capable of maintaining the required negative static pressure as resistance across the exhaust HEPA filter changes over its service life.
Facility engineers, HVAC professionals, biosafety personnel, and the certification company responsible for the installation should therefore be involved before the cabinet is placed into service.
American Instrument Exchange can assist with freight coordination, inside delivery, equipment placement, and installation planning when required. Once installed and connected to the building exhaust system, the cabinet must be properly balanced and field certified before use.
The Thermo Scientific 1361 may be incorporated into pharmaceutical, biotechnology, toxicology, microbiology, hazardous-drug research, and other specialized laboratory workflows requiring Type B2 containment.
Depending on the application, the cabinet may be paired with laboratory refrigerators and freezers for reagent and sample storage, refrigerated centrifuges for sample processing, CO₂ incubators for cell culture workflows, and ultra-low temperature freezers for long-term biological sample preservation.
American Instrument Exchange maintains a broad inventory of professionally refurbished laboratory equipment, allowing laboratories to source multiple pieces of compatible equipment through a single supplier while simplifying procurement and reducing equipment lead times.
Yes. The Thermo Scientific 1361 is a 6-foot Class II Type B2 biosafety cabinet from Thermo's 1300 Series B2 platform.
It is designed as a total-exhaust cabinet and requires connection to an appropriate external exhaust system.
Yes. The Thermo 1361 is a 6-foot nominal-width BSC. The cabinet measures approximately 78 inches wide externally and provides approximately 72 inches of interior working width.
The large work area can be advantageous for higher-throughput procedures, larger experimental setups, or applications requiring more equipment and materials inside the cabinet.
Yes. The Thermo 1361 is a Type B2 cabinet and requires direct connection to an external exhaust system.
It cannot simply be installed and operated as a recirculating Type A2 cabinet. The facility exhaust system is an integral part of proper Type B2 operation.
Thermo specifies an exhaust requirement of approximately 998 CFM for the 6-foot 1300 Series B2 cabinet.
The external exhaust system must be capable of drawing this volume against approximately 1.5 inches w.g. negative static pressure with a new exhaust HEPA filter and up to 2.0 inches w.g. as the filter loads prior to replacement.
Because this represents a substantial continuous exhaust demand, HVAC compatibility should be confirmed before purchasing or installing the cabinet.
Thermo's 1300 Series B2 documentation specifies a 10-inch-diameter airtight damper for this platform.
Laboratories replacing an existing B2 cabinet should still verify the existing ductwork, connection dimensions, available static pressure, exhaust capacity, and installation conditions rather than assuming that two 6-foot B2 cabinets will be direct mechanical replacements.
Possibly, but this should be verified before purchase.
Even when two cabinets have similar exterior dimensions, their required exhaust volume, static pressure, exhaust connection, cabinet height, and duct location may differ.
If the Thermo 1361 is replacing an existing Type B2 cabinet, providing American Instrument Exchange with the manufacturer, model, exhaust specifications, and photographs or dimensions of the existing installation can help identify potential compatibility issues.
A qualified HVAC professional and BSC certifier should ultimately verify the installation requirements.
The primary advantage is working space.
A 6-foot cabinet such as the Thermo 1361 provides approximately 72 inches of interior width, making it useful for larger experimental setups, multiple culture vessels, extensive sample racks, or procedures requiring more equipment inside the work chamber.
The tradeoff is significantly greater physical size and facility exhaust demand. A 6-foot B2 should therefore be selected when the additional workspace provides a genuine workflow advantage.
Both are Class II Type B2 total-exhaust biosafety cabinets, but they belong to different Thermo product families and provide substantially different working widths.
The Thermo 1361 is a 6-foot 1300 Series B2 cabinet, while the Thermo 1510 is a 4-foot 1500 Series B2 cabinet.
The 1361 provides substantially more workspace but also places a greater demand on the facility exhaust system. Laboratories choosing between them should consider required working area, available laboratory space, exhaust capacity, existing ductwork, and the intended application.
A Type B2 cabinet is designed for applications requiring greater dilution and removal of volatile toxic chemicals than a recirculating BSC configuration can provide.
However, HEPA filters capture particulates; they do not remove chemical vapors or gases. The dedicated external exhaust system is therefore critical when appropriate volatile chemicals are used.
Whether a particular chemical, concentration, quantity, or procedure is appropriate for use in the cabinet should be determined through the laboratory's formal risk assessment and applicable biosafety, chemical safety, and regulatory requirements.
Type B2 cabinets may be appropriate for certain procedures involving trace quantities of radionuclides when biological containment is also required.
Suitability depends on the isotope, quantity, procedure, facility design, contamination-control requirements, and applicable radiation safety regulations. The laboratory's radiation safety officer and other appropriate safety personnel should approve the intended application before use.
Yes. The Thermo 1361 features one-piece 304 stainless steel interior side and rear walls and a 304 stainless steel work surface.
This provides a durable work chamber well suited to routine cleaning and decontamination procedures.
Yes. The 1361 is the factory UV-equipped version of this 6-foot, 115/120V Thermo 1300 Series B2 configuration.
The closely related Thermo 1360 uses the same basic 6-foot platform but is the corresponding configuration without factory-installed UV lighting.
UV should not be treated as a replacement for appropriate cleaning and decontamination procedures.
Loss of external exhaust can compromise the operating conditions required for a Type B2 biosafety cabinet.
The Thermo 1300 Series B2 incorporates alarm contacts associated with conditions including airflow alerts, exhaust errors, airflow sensor errors, and filter-related warnings.
An exhaust or airflow failure should be treated as a condition requiring evaluation. The cabinet should not be assumed to provide proper containment when required external exhaust conditions are not being maintained.
American Instrument Exchange can inspect and test the cabinet's mechanical, electrical, control, filtration, alarm, sash, and other accessible functional systems. Unless otherwise specified, new HEPA filters are installed before shipment.
However, final Type B2 airflow performance cannot be established independently of the customer's external exhaust system.
The cabinet must therefore be installed, connected to the building exhaust, properly balanced, and field certified before being placed into service.
Because the 1361 is a large Type B2 cabinet, customers should verify more than simply the available floor space.
Important information includes the available exhaust airflow, static pressure, duct diameter and location, makeup-air capacity, room pressure requirements, electrical service, delivery route, doorway and elevator dimensions, and final installation location.
If the cabinet is replacing an existing B2, information about the existing cabinet and exhaust connection can also be helpful when evaluating compatibility.
Yes. The cabinet should be field certified after installation and before being placed into service.
This is especially important for a Type B2 cabinet because final containment performance depends on the relationship between the BSC and the facility exhaust system.
The cabinet should also be recertified following relocation, HEPA filter replacement, exhaust-system modifications, or other service that could affect containment performance.
For laboratories throughout Greater Boston and New England, AIE Laboratory Services can provide biosafety cabinet certification, preventative maintenance, troubleshooting, HEPA filter replacement, repairs, decontamination, and related services.
Type B2 work may also require coordination with the facility's HVAC personnel because proper cabinet operation depends on the external exhaust system.
In many cases, an evaluation is worthwhile before replacing the cabinet.
A Type B2 cabinet is integrated into the building's exhaust infrastructure, so replacement can involve considerably more than simply removing one BSC and installing another. Changes in cabinet dimensions, exhaust volume, static-pressure requirements, or duct location can potentially require mechanical modifications.
Problems involving controls, alarms, blowers, sensors, sash components, electrical systems, or HEPA filters do not necessarily mean the entire cabinet must be replaced.
For laboratories throughout New England, AIE Laboratory Services can evaluate an existing Thermo 1361 and help determine whether repair or replacement is the more practical approach.
Yes. The cabinet does not need to have been purchased from American Instrument Exchange for AIE Laboratory Services to evaluate, maintain, troubleshoot, repair, or certify it.
This can be particularly valuable for facilities operating older hard-ducted B2 cabinets where maintaining the existing installation may be preferable to replacing the entire system.
Unless otherwise specified, American Instrument Exchange installs new HEPA filters prior to shipment.
Because final B2 performance depends on the facility exhaust system, the cabinet must still be installed, balanced, and field certified at its final operating location before use.
Yes. American Instrument Exchange can help laboratories compare available refurbished Type B2 cabinets when an existing unit needs replacement.
For a hard-ducted B2 installation, matching the replacement cabinet as closely as possible can be particularly valuable. Cabinet width, height, exhaust connection, airflow requirement, static pressure, electrical service, and duct location should all be considered.
If an exact Thermo 1361 is unavailable, American Instrument Exchange may be able to identify another refurbished 6-foot Type B2 cabinet that meets the laboratory's application and facility requirements.
American Instrument Exchange specializes in professionally refurbished laboratory equipment rather than simply reselling used instruments. Each Thermo Scientific 1361 is inspected, cleaned, tested, and prepared for continued laboratory service by experienced technicians.
Unless otherwise specified, new HEPA filters are installed prior to shipment, and the unit is backed by a 90-day warranty from American Instrument Exchange.
For laboratories specifically requiring a 6-foot Class II Type B2 biosafety cabinet, the Thermo 1361 provides a compelling combination of approximately 72 inches of working width, stainless steel construction, total-exhaust containment, and the proven Thermo 1300 Series B2 platform.
Because replacing a hard-ducted Type B2 cabinet can involve significant HVAC and installation considerations, American Instrument Exchange can also help customers evaluate available equipment and plan for a practical replacement rather than treating the cabinet as a simple plug-and-play purchase.
