Biosafety cabinets are specialized laboratory equipment designed to provide a safe working environment for scientists and researchers who handle hazardous materials such as microorganisms, viruses, and other biological agents.
These cabinets use a combination of HEPA (high-efficiency particulate air) filters and negative air pressure to prevent the release of harmful contaminants into the laboratory environment. The HEPA filters remove particles and microorganisms from the air, while the negative air pressure ensures that any airborne contaminants are contained within the cabinet.
