The Thermo Scientific 1385 biosafety cabinet features advanced propriety airflow in a highly efficient design. This four-foot cabinet is extremely comfortable to use with its sloping design, bright workspace and low noise level.
Airflow adjustments in the Thermo Scientific 1385 are made in real time resulting in steady inflow and downflow velocities which includes adjustments resulting from changes in filter resistance. Brushless DC motor technology improves efficiency and reliability.
Closing the front sash reduces blower speed up to 30% resulting in up to 75% less energy usage. “Night Set Back” mode saves even more energy while maintaining a clean and safe work area. Two double outlets are installed to power equipment inside the work area. The sash has a working opening of 10 inches.
This Thermo Scientific 1385 4' Bio Safety Cabinet is used and reconditioned. Our technicians test each biosafety cabinet and clean bench to ensure that the controls and blower motor work properly, as well as ensuring that the HEPA filter is suitable for use in lab conditions.
Our testing procedure includes all the elements of certification in order to ensure that the unit will pass certification once it is at your site.
If you're in the Greater Boston or New England area, contact our sister company, AIE Lab Services, to schedule your certification. Their services include testing, certification, repair, replacement, decontamination, and removal of biosafety cabinets and clean benches. You can reach them at 978-521-2221 or by email at services@aielaboratoryservices.com.

We install new filters in every biosafety cabinet we sell, but we purchase these directly from the manufacturer or other non-OEM source. If you are looking for new HEPA filters we suggest contacting the manufacturer directly.
Remember that biosafety cabinets also need to be decontaminated with chlorine dioxide to prevent contamination before opening the filter housing. If you’re in New England, our team at AIE Laboratory Services is available for HEPA filter replacement and certifications.
For customers in New England our movers can bring biosafety cabinets into the lab and set the units in place on the stands, after which our certifiers are able to make sure the unit is fully functional and operating to specification.
If you are outside of New England please contact our sales team – we may be able to offer a recommendation on a local moving company or other provider to assist you with installation of the BSC.
Our technicians and certifiers are available for repair assistance, but technical support by phone is not recommended. We strongly encourage you to contact your local certifiers or the team at AIE Laboratory Services for on site diagnosis and repair.
