Biosafety Cabinet

Biosafety Cabinets are specialized workstations widely used in clinical, pharmaceutical, life science and industrial laboratories where experiments need highly contaminant free environment. Also known as biological safety cabinets and biohazard safety cabinets, these are made in three different class types such as Class 1, Class 2 and Class 3; in which Class 2 is widely used in microbiology laboratories because it provides protection to both product as well as personal. It is biosafety level factor which decides which BSCs should be used in laboratory. These cabinets are considered safer than other clean benches because such BSCs effectively eliminate risks to operator / staff, samples and the environment from pathogenic biological agents (PBA) and microorganisms responsible for spreading airborne infection.

Why Do We use Biosafety Cabinet?

The purpose of using biosafety cabinet in microbiology laboratory is to protect laboratory personal as well as surrounding environment from exposure to biohazards while working with infectious agents.

Biosafety Cabinet Applications

There are many uses of bio safety cabinets such as chemotherapy preparation, drug formulation, and animal cell culture processing and in TB lab for manipulation of mycobacterium tuberculosis culture etc.

Different Types of Class 2 Biosafety Cabinet

There are three types of class 2 biosafety cabinets are made. It is the type of work which decides which class 2 BSCs should be used in laboratory. Below is short description about all types:

• Biosafety Cabinet CLASS 2 TYPE A2: In this type of Class II BSC, approximately 70% of the HEPA filtered air is circulated through the cabinet, while 30% passes through an exhaust HEPA filter and is discharged.
• Biosafety Cabinet CLASS 2 TYPE B1: This Class II BSC, exhausts 60% – 70% of the HEPA filtered air, while 30% – 40% air is re-circulated inside workspace through HEPA filter.
• Biosafety Cabinet CLASS 2 TYPE B2: It is total exhaust type BSC, no re-circulation inside workspace; blower exhausts 100% of the filtered air.
