Working in a laboratory means dealing with many types of biological matters that have the potential to be harmful and infectious. But with this Equipment you will be protected and reduce the potential of harm.
As we usually see in a particular lab called Biological Safety Laboratory, it is common to see biological safety cabinets in industry and hospitals. The problem is that many labs only focus on certain safety equipment such as gloves, masks, safety googles, etc rather than biosafety cabinet itself.
Biological safety cabinets are designed to filter and sterilize the air on the environment for handling biological samples. This cabinet works by controlling airflow and filtering contaminants through High-efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA). Besides filtering and sterilizing the air, the biological safety cabinets also minimize the negative effect on the environment, pathogen, and the use of laboratory.
There are some classes for biosafety cabinets:
- Class I: Protects the user and environment
- Class II: Protects the user, sample, and environment — commonly used in most microbiological labs.
- Class III: The highest protection level, completely sealed and used for high-risk pathogens.
Biological safety cabinets are crucial for any lab handling sensitive or contagious materials because they establish a regulated barrier between the user and the biological agents, unlike a laminar flow cabinet, which merely shields the sample.
