MicroFlow Devices India Private Limited provides laboratory and cleanroom-related equipment for specialized industrial, pharmaceutical and research applications. A Biosafety Cabinet (BSC) is a laboratory containment device designed to provide a controlled workspace for handling biological materials. Depending on its class and configuration, it can help protect laboratory personnel, the surrounding environment and the work being performed from exposure to biological aerosols.
Biosafety cabinets are used in pharmaceutical laboratories, biotechnology facilities, microbiology laboratories, medical research centres and other facilities that handle biological materials. Selecting the correct cabinet requires careful consideration of the type of work, biological risk assessment, required protection level, airflow design and applicable safety standards.
A biosafety cabinet is an enclosed laboratory workstation that uses controlled airflow and filtration to provide defined levels of protection during certain biological procedures. Many biosafety cabinets use High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters to control airborne particles within the cabinet and, depending on the cabinet class, in the exhaust air.
Biosafety cabinets are generally classified as Class I, Class II and Class III. Each class offers a different combination of personnel, environmental and product protection. The appropriate cabinet must be selected based on the laboratory’s risk assessment and intended application.
Actual specifications, filtration arrangements, alarms and operating features vary by model. Confirm these details before purchase.
We have domain expertise in offering an extensive range of Class I Biological Safety Cabinet, which is available in three different modules. Our range of Class I Bio Safety Cabinets meets the laboratory requirements for life science research, clinical or industrial applications. These Class I Biosafety Cabinets are manufactured using stainless steel for easy cleaning and maintenance and excellent powder coating finish helps to prevent microbial or bacterial growth.
Type B2 cabinets are sometimes referred to as “total exhaust”.
Type B2 cabinets may be used with biological agents treated with toxic chemicals and radionuclides required as an adjunct to microbiological studies.
Type A2 Cabinets are sometimes referred to “convertible” type units. Some manufactures of equipments have described their” convertible” unit (from Type A Type B) as having a change in air balance from 70 percent recirculate and 30 percent exhaust to 30 percent recirculate and 70 percent exhaust.
Type A2 cabinets are suitable for work with biological agents treated with minute quantities of toxic chemicals and trace quantities of radionuclides that will not interface with the work if recirculated in the downflow air.
All of the contaminated air flows to a common plenum where part of the air is recirculated and part is exhausted. Essentially, the cabinet Type A2 performs as a Type A with a change in air balances.

Class III Cabinets are defined as a totally enclosed ventilated unit of gas-light construction. Operations in the cabinet are conducted through hand-holes with rubber gloves. The cabinet unit is maintained under negative air pressure of at least 0.5 inch water gauge (12.7mm WG).
Supply air is drawn into the cabinet through HEPA filters. The exhaust air treated by double incinerations. The Class III Cabinets are suitable for work with agents that require biosafety level 1, 2, 3 or 4 containment.
Class III biological safety cabinet systems aid in the control of airborne particulate contaminants generated during various procedures, including weighing and diluting chemical carcinogens, working with high risk agents or high concentrations of low or moderate risk agents, or when there equipment which generates high volume aerosol is used.

A biosafety cabinet is not a substitute for proper training, personal protective equipment, validated operating procedures or a laboratory risk assessment. It should not be confused with a laminar airflow cabinet, which may protect the product but does not necessarily provide personnel or environmental protection.

Looking for Biosafety Cabinet Manufacturers in Chennai for a pharmaceutical laboratory, biotechnology facility or research centre? Contact MicroFlow Devices India Private Limited to discuss your application, cabinet class, workspace requirements and relevant technical specifications.
A biosafety cabinet provides a controlled workspace for handling suitable biological materials and helps protect personnel, the environment and, in certain cabinet classes, the work itself.
The main types are Class I, Class II and Class III. They differ in containment design and the levels of personnel, environmental and product protection provided.
A biosafety cabinet is designed to provide specified biological containment protection. A conventional laminar airflow cabinet primarily protects the work from airborne contamination and may direct air toward the operator, so it should not be used as a substitute for a biosafety cabinet when biological containment is required.
Many biosafety cabinets use HEPA filters as part of their airflow and containment design. The filter arrangement depends on the cabinet class and model.
They are used in suitable pharmaceutical, microbiology, biotechnology, diagnostic, medical research and academic laboratories.
Testing and certification should follow the applicable standard, manufacturer’s recommendations, local requirements and laboratory procedures. Testing is generally needed after installation or relocation and following relevant repairs or filter changes.
