Biological safety cabinets (BSCs) are one type of bio containment equipment widely used in biological laboratories. These cabinets are mainly used to provide personnel, environmental, and product protection. Class, I, Class II, and Class III biological safety cabinet equipped with high-efficiency particulate air filters in both the exhaust and supply system can effectively prevent exposure to biohazards.

There are several designs of biosafety cabinets that provide different levels of protection for the worker and the research material. There are three classes of biosafety cabinets designated in the United States: Class I, Class II, and Class III. Class I biosafety cabinets are infrequently used and provide personnel and environmental protection, but no product protection. Class II and Class III cabinets provide personnel, environmental, and product protection.

The spokesperson at Kewaunee says, “The primary purpose of a biosafety cabinet (BSC or Biological Safety Cabinet or Microbiological Safety Cabinet) is to protect the laboratory users and the environment from pathogens. BSC provides for an enclosed and ventilated workspace. The enclosed space enhances safety when working with materials contaminated (or potentially contaminated) with pathogens. Biosafety cabinets find use where a defined biosafety level is required.”
