BIOHAZARD SAFETY CABINETS

Apart from performing the functions of the regular laminar airflow equipment, it also protects the operator from the toxic / pathogenic contamination created during the research activities and also protects the atmosphere from such contaminations. For example, if an operator performs research on HIV virus or any other very hazardous / toxic materials, the operator needs to protect from the possible contamination /infection due to the virus he handles in his laboratory. A bio-safe hood does the job of protecting the not only the operators but also the environment by removing those viruses from the air-stream by means of High Efficiency Particulate Air Filters.

The biological safety cabinets (BSCs), enclosed containers and other engineering controls designed to remove or minimize exposures to hazardous biological materials. The biological safety cabinet (BSC) is the principal device used to provide containment of infectious splashes or aerosols generated by many microbiological procedures. Three types of biological safety cabinets (Class I, Class II (A1, A2, B1, & B2 ), Class III used in microbiological laboratories application. Open-fronted Class I and Class II
biological safety cabinets are primary barriers which offers significant levels of protection to laboratory personnel and to the environment when used with good microbiological techniques. The Class II biological safety cabinet also provides
