Class III Biological Safety Cabinet

A Class III Biological Safety Cabinet is a highly protective workspace used in laboratories handling dangerous biological agents. It features sealed, airtight construction with gloves built into its front panel, allowing safe manipulation of harmful materials without direct contact. The cabinet maintains negative pressure to prevent contaminants from escaping and often uses specialized airflow and filters to trap or destroy pathogens. It is essential for safely working with highly infectious organisms, ensuring the safety of staff and preventing the release of dangerous microbes into the environment.
