Class I Biological Safety Cabinet

A Class I Biological Safety Cabinet is a specialized workstation designed to protect laboratory personnel and the environment from exposure to harmful biological agents. It uses a high-efficiency airflow system that draws air away from the user and filters it through a HEPA filter before releasing it outside or into the workspace. The cabinet does not provide direct protection for the materials inside, but it protects users from potential airborne hazards. It is commonly used when handling hazardous microorganisms or chemicals, ensuring safety while working with infectious materials.
