Labconco offers a comprehensive range of biosafety cabinets, including Class II Biological Safety Cabinets and the widely utilized Class II Type A2 models. These cabinets integrate advanced HEPA filtration technology to maintain sterile conditions, reduce exposure to biohazards, and prevent cross-contamination. Class II cabinets are specifically designed for applications requiring both containment and product protection, such as tissue culture and microbiology. The Type A2 cabinets are engineered to meet diverse laboratory needs, offering 70% recirculated air and 30% exhaust air for optimal performance in labs handling low to moderate risk materials. With a focus on energy efficiency, ergonomic design, and durability, Labconco’s biosafety cabinets set the standard for safety and reliability in laboratories worldwide.
Types of Biological Safety Cabinets
Biosafety cabinets (BSCs) are essential tools in laboratory environments that require contamination control, protecting personnel, products, and the surrounding environment from hazardous biological agents. These cabinets are classified based on their level of protection and airflow design, ensuring safety across a variety of laboratory applications.
Class I Biosafety Cabinets
Class I biosafety cabinets provide personnel and environmental protection but do not protect the samples being handled inside. These cabinets use a negative pressure airflow system to draw air away from the user, filtering contaminants through a HEPA filter before releasing the air back into the environment.
- Suitable for handling low-to-moderate risk biological materials.
- Often used for procedures such as weighing hazardous powders or working with chemical agents.
Class II Biosafety Cabinets
Class II biosafety cabinets are designed to protect personnel, the environment, and the samples inside the cabinet. They utilize HEPA-filtered vertical laminar airflow, preventing cross-contamination and ensuring sterility. These cabinets are subdivided into multiple types based on exhaust and airflow patterns.
Class II, Type A1 & A2
- Type A1: Recirculates approximately 70% of filtered air back into the workspace, making it unsuitable for handling volatile chemicals.
- Type A2: Similar to Type A1 but with negative pressure to enhance safety, allowing for limited work with hazardous chemical vapors when connected to an external exhaust.
Class II, Type B1 & B2
- Type B1: Recirculates about 30% of air while exhausting the remaining 70% externally. Suitable for work involving moderate amounts of chemical fumes.
- Type B2: 100% of the air is exhausted outside, making it ideal for procedures involving hazardous biological materials and high concentrations of volatile chemicals.
Class III Biosafety Cabinets (Glove Boxes)
Class III biosafety cabinets, also known as glove boxes, offer the highest level of containment. These fully enclosed, airtight cabinets are designed for work with highly infectious agents and toxins.
- Only accessible through built-in gloves, preventing direct exposure to hazardous substances.
- Equipped with double HEPA filtration and a dedicated exhaust system to prevent contamination.
- Used in biosafety level 4 (BSL-4) laboratories, such as those handling viruses like Ebola.
