A Guide to Selecting the Right Biological Safety Cabinet (BSCs) for Laboratory Use | Chapter 7 | Microbiology and Biotechnology Research: An Overview Vol. 4q

 

This article provides a structured approach to Biological Safety Cabinets (BSCs) selection by evaluating cabinet classes, types, airflow patterns, containment capabilities, and application-specific requirements. BSCs provide a controlled environment to protect personnel and the laboratory setting from exposure to pathogens, ensuring a safe working space. By aligning cabinet choice with biosafety level, work type, and regulatory standards, laboratories can minimise contamination risks and optimise safety outcomes. There are several types of BSCs, each differentiated by the level of biocontainment they provide to meet the requirements of specific biosafety levels. This article further explores various classes of biological safety cabinets, which are already well-known, their unique features, and their applications in different laboratory settings. Furthermore, the paper underscores the need for informed equipment selection to ensure laboratory safety and compliance with institutional and international biosafety guidelines.
