Biosafety Cabinet

Biosafety Cabinets (BSCs) are one type of biocontainment equipment used in biological laboratories to provide personnel, environmental, and product protection. Most BSCs (e.g., Class II and Class III) use high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters in both the exhaust and supply system to prevent exposure to biohazards. On top of general maintenance your bio safety cabinet needs to be regularly tested to ensure it is still running safely and effectively.


For the protection of the test engineer the bio safety cabinet should be thoroughly decontaminated before having the following tests performed: Inflow & Downflow Velocity Inspection, HEPA Filter Inspection, Smoke pattern Test, Particle Count Inspection. Biosafety cabinets should be tested at the least annually and whenever filters are changed and if there is maintenance done to internal parts.
