| Biosafety Level | BSL 2, BSL 4 |
| Material | Stainless Steel |
A Biological Safety Cabinet (BSC), also known as a Biosafety Cabinet is mainly used for handling pathogenic biological samples or for applications that require a sterile work zone. A biological safety cabinet creates inflow and downflow of air that provides operator protection. The downflow air passes through an ULPA/HEPA filter and creates an ISO Class 3 work zone to protect samples from the risk of cross-contamination. The air exhausted also passes through an ULPA/HEPA filter prior to release to protect the environment.
Esco biosafety cabinets have a wide range of options from work trays, side panel construction to accessories. Esco BSCs are designed with ergonomic and energy-saving features.

Class I Biological Safety Cabinets:-
The Class I cabinet has the most basic and rudimentary design of all biological safety cabinetry available today. It provides protection to the operator and the environment from exposure to biohazards and is suitable for work with microbiological agents assigned to biosafety levels 1, 2 and 3. Brand available: Airstream®
Class II Type A2 Biological Safety Cabinets:-
The Class II Type A2 biological safety cabinet is the most common Class II cabinet. It is also the most common safety cabinet of all the different types available. It has a common plenum from which 30% of air is exhausted, and 70% is re-circulated to the work area as the downflow. It provides protection to the operator and the environment from exposure to biohazards, and also protects products from contaminated room air and cross-contamination. Note: If trace amount of toxic chemicals are employed as an adjunct to microbiological processes, Type A cabinets should be exhaust-ducted. Brands available: Airstream®, Labculture®, NordicSafe®, Cytoculture®
Class II Type B2 Biological Safety Cabinets :-
In a Class II Type B2 biological safety cabinet, all inflow and downflow air is exhausted after HEPA filtration to the external environment without recirculation within the cabinet. Type B2 cabinets are suitable for work with toxic chemicals employed as an adjunct to microbiological processes under all circumstances since no re-circulation occurs. In theory, Type B2 cabinets may be considered to be the safest of all Class II BSCs since the total exhaust feature acts as a fail-safe in the event that the downflow and/or exhaust HEPA filtration system cease to function normally. Brands available: Airstream®, Labculture®
Class III Biological Safety Cabinet:-
The Class III biological safety cabinet provides an absolute level of safety, which cannot be attained with Class I and Class II cabinets. It is suitable for work with microbiological agents assigned to biosafety levels 1, 2, 3 and 4. It is frequently specified for work involving the most lethal biological hazards.
