Biological Safety Cabinets

Biological Safety Cabinets (BSCs) are specialized enclosures designed to protect both people and the environment from potentially harmful biological agents. They use HEPA filters and airflow systems to contain and filter particles, preventing contamination of samples and exposure to users. Commonly used in laboratories working with pathogens, cells, or viruses, BSCs create a controlled space where experiments can be conducted safely. They come in different types, with Class I, II, and III offering varying levels of protection, ensuring that biological work is performed with minimized risk of infection or contamination.
