A Biological Safety Cabinet (BSC) is an essential piece of laboratory equipment designed to provide protection for personnel, the environment, and research materials from airborne contaminants and hazardous biological substances. It is widely used in microbiology, pharmaceutical research, hospitals, biotechnology labs, and forensic analysis where sterile and safe conditions are critical.
BSCs utilize HEPA filtration and laminar airflow technology to create a controlled work environment that minimizes contamination risks. With advanced biohazard containment, they play a crucial role in infection control, ensuring compliance with biosafety standards such as NSF/ANSI 49 and ISO 14644-1.
1. HEPA Filtration System for Maximum Protection
A High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter captures 99.99% of airborne particles as small as 0.3 microns, effectively eliminating bacteria, viruses, and contaminants from the airflow.
2. Advanced Laminar Airflow Technology
BSCs use vertical laminar airflow to ensure uniform and contamination-free workspaces, preventing cross-contamination and maintaining aseptic conditions.
3. Class II Biosafety Cabinet (BSC) – Types A2, B1, and B2
- Type A2 BSC – Recirculates 70% of air, suitable for Biosafety Level 2 laboratories.
- Type B1 BSC – Expels a portion of contaminated air, reducing exposure risks.
- Type B2 BSC – 100% air exhaustion, ideal for toxic chemical and biohazard work.
4. Three-Tier Protection System
BSCs provide simultaneous protection for:
Personnel – Prevents exposure to hazardous pathogens.
Environment – Ensures that no biohazard escapes into the lab.
Samples – Maintains sterility, preventing contamination of sensitive materials.
5. Ergonomic and User-Friendly Design
- Adjustable height settings for comfort.
- Anti-glare lighting for enhanced visibility.
- Low noise levels for a better work environment.
6. Compliance with International Biosafety Standards
Certified under NSF/ANSI 49, ISO 14644-1, and OSHA guidelines, ensuring safety and regulatory compliance.
7. Advanced Decontamination and Safety Features
- UV Germicidal Lamp for sterilization.
- Hydrogen Peroxide Fumigation Compatibility for complete decontamination.
- Alarm System for airflow failure and contamination risks.
