Biological Safety Cabinets (BSCs) are laboratory equipment used to protect personnel, the environment, and the product from exposure to hazardous materials. BSCs are designed to provide a physical barrier between the user and the hazardous material, and to contain any aerosols or splashes that may be generated during the handling of the material. BSCs are classified into three types: Class I, Class II, and Class III. Class I BSCs provide personnel protection only, while Class II and Class III BSCs provide both personnel and product protection. BSCs are used in a variety of laboratory settings, including medical, pharmaceutical, and industrial laboratories. They are used to protect personnel from exposure to hazardous materials such as infectious agents, toxic chemicals, and radioactive materials. BSCs are also used to protect the environment from contamination by hazardous materials. BSCs are manufactured by a variety of companies, including Thermo Fisher Scientific, NuAire, Labconco, and Erlab. These companies offer a wide range of BSCs, including Class I, Class II, and Class III BSCs, as well as specialty BSCs designed for specific applications. Show Less Read more
