BIOLOGICAL SAFETY CABINETS

A biosafety cabinet (BSC)—also called a biological safety cabinet or microbiological safety cabinet—is an enclosed, ventilated laboratory workspace for safely working with materials contaminated with (or potentially contaminated with) pathogens requiring a defined biosafety level. Several different types of BSC exist, differentiated by the degree of biocontainment required.

The primary purpose of a BSC is to serve as a means to protect the laboratory worker and the surrounding.

Types Available: Class I, Class II A2, Class II B2, Class III.
