Biosafety Cabinet

A Biosafety Cabinet (BSC) is a specialized enclosed workspace used to handle biological materials safely. It provides a controlled environment by using airflow systems to protect both the user and the samples from contamination. BSCs are classified into different types (Class I, II, III) based on the level of containment they provide. Their primary function is to prevent exposure to hazardous biological agents, such as viruses, bacteria, or toxins, during laboratory procedures.
