A biosafety cabinet is a defense device that isolates contaminated aerosols that occur during pathogen handling in the operating area for the safety of operators and their surrounding environment. It can artificially control the emission of polluted air in the operating area through specialized filtering channels, and is a specialized equipment for safe microbial experiments and production. Widely used in related industries such as biological laboratories, healthcare, and biopharmaceuticals, it has a good effect on improving process conditions, protecting the health of operators, and the environment.
Biosafety cabinets typically include the following important parts:
1. Work area
The workspace is the core area of biosafety, representing the interaction zone between experimenters and test subjects. The workspace should ensure airtightness and ensure the protection of its passive and test objects from the airflow.
2. Fan
The fan is mainly used to inject inlet air into the biosafety cabinet and discharge it after passing through a filter at a certain flow rate.
3. Filter
Filters are an important component of biosafety cabinets, used to filter impurities such as dust, bacteria, viruses, etc. in the airflow.
4. Lighting
Lighting is used to provide experimenters with a clear view of the workspace, while also improving the overall brightness of the workspace.
5. Controller
The controller can control the operation of airflow, filters, exhaust systems, as well as other equipment or additional devices.
