What is a Biosafety Cabinet?
A biosafety cabinet (BSC), or biological safety cabinet, is a laboratory workstation designed to protect the operator and the environment from biohazardous materials. In most applications, it also needs to protect the sample or experiment from airborne contamination, which is why Class II cabinets are the most commonly used type.
In short:
- Class I → protects the operator and environment only (no product protection)
- Class II → protects operator, environment, and product (most common choice)
- Class III → maximum containment, for the highest biohazard risk levels
