The Haier HR1800-IIA2-N is a 6-foot Class II Type A2 biological safety cabinet, NSF/ANSI 49 certified — the widest cabinet in Haier's NSF Type A2 line, sized for multi-operator work or workflows that need a large sterile work area. As a Class II Type A2 cabinet it delivers three-way protection (personnel, product, environment) for BSL-1 and BSL-2 agents by recirculating 70% of airflow as downflow and exhausting 30% through ULPA U15 filtration rated 99.9995% at 0.12 µm on both paths. An energy-efficient DC blower, 1292-lux work-zone lighting, and a universal 100–230 V input round out a cabinet built for demanding, high-utilization labs.

Application Profile
The HR1800-IIA2-N is the large 6-foot work area for labs that run multiple technicians at one cabinet or handle bulky apparatus and multi-plate cell-culture workflows. As a Class II Type A2 unit it is appropriate for BSL-1 and BSL-2 biological work — microbiology, cell and tissue culture, clinical processing — with ULPA-filtered downflow protecting the product and the inflow air curtain protecting the operator. Like all A2 cabinets it is intended for biological, not chemical, containment: volatile toxic chemicals and radionuclides require a different cabinet type or appropriate ducting. (See containment-classes.)
Its comprehensive alarm set — abnormal inflow, abnormal downflow, filter clogging, filter damage, door-open-beyond-limit, and filter/UV-lamp lifetime — keeps the protective state visible at all times, and a UV lamp supports between-session surface decontamination. Optional GFCI sockets, side-wall service taps (gas, vacuum, air, water), a 316-SS one-piece work surface, and an antimicrobial coating adapt the cabinet to specialized workflows.
Frequently Asked Questions
What containment class is the Haier HR1800-IIA2-N? Class II Type A2, NSF/ANSI 49 certified — personnel, product, and environmental protection for BSL-1 and BSL-2 work.
How large is the work area? Internal dimensions are 1830 × 600 × 650 mm (nominal 6 ft width) — the widest cabinet in the NSF Type A2 line, suitable for multi-operator use.
What filtration does it use? ULPA U15 filters rated 99.9995% efficient at 0.12 µm on both the downflow and exhaust paths, with a 70% downflow / 30% exhaust airflow split.
Is it safe for chemical work? No — a Type A2 cabinet provides biological containment only. Volatile toxic chemicals or radionuclides need a different or ducted cabinet; check the containment-class guide first.
What power does it require? A universal 100–230 V, 50/60 Hz input (1400 VA); the US configuration uses 115 V or 220 V/60 Hz taps.
Ordering & Configuration
quote-based. The HR1800-IIA2-N is a capital biosafety cabinet sold through a quote. At quote we confirm the electrical service and receptacle, floor space for the 1940 mm-wide, 2160 mm-tall cabinet, the support stand (standard 680 mm or optional adjustable), side-wall service taps, sockets (optional GFCI), work-surface and coating options, and certification/field-validation needs. Warranty terms are confirmed with the quote, and lead time is provided at quotation. Request a quote to configure the HR1800-IIA2-N for your lab.
When to choose the 6-foot cabinet: the HR1800-IIA2-N is specified for multi-operator use and large work areas. Step down to the HR1500-IIA2-N (5 ft), HR1200-IIA2-N (4 ft), or HR900-IIA2-N (3 ft) as the work area and floor space allow — all share the same Class II Type A2 airflow and ULPA filtration.
