Biological Safety Cabinets

Biological safety cabinets, also known as biosafety cabinets, are essential engineering controls used to protect personnel from biohazardous or infectious agents and to maintain a sterile work environment.  These cabinets come in various classes, such as Class I, Class II (Type A2, B2, and C1), designed to accommodate different biosafety levels (BSL 1, 2, 3). They provide a contained, ventilated workspace for working with biological samples, ensuring safety and preventing contamination.

A biological safety cabinet protects the laboratory worker, product and the surrounding environment from exposure to biological agents. BSCs are routinely used for procedures for protection & safety from biohazardous material and cross-contamination using directional air flow. These procedures include tissue culture, bacterial/viral work, animal care and more. Biological Safety Cabinets provide three levels of protection using laminar air flow and HEPA filtration.

Bio Safety Hoods from our partners at NuAire are NSF/ANSI 49, and EN12469 certified and offer Class I, II and III levels of containment. All BioSafety Cabinets featured below are ergonomically designed for user comfort. The filtration systems used in these BSCs offer filtered air to be recirculated back into the laboratory environment or into a facility exhaust system through the duct work. Also available are Glovebox workstations (Class III BioSafety Hoods) from our partners at Labconco, Flow Sciences and GermFree.
