Biological Safety Cabinets

Biological Safety Cabinets. These cabinets, also called Laminar Flow Biological Safety Cabinets, combine product, operator and environmental protection. They were developed to provide protection from diverse types of biohazardous material. They are similar to conventional fume hoods in providing protection for the operator, but they also offer protection for the work in progress and for the environment. In most types of these cabinets, the work area is continuously bathed with positive pressure HEPA filtered air to protect product from contamination while an inward airflow protects the user. Some units re-filter a percentage of the air for re-use while venting the remainder to the outside, while others vent all air to the outside..
