Biosafety Cabinets: Why Are They Required?
Biosafety Cabinets (BSCs) are essential engineering controls in laboratories that handle potentially infectious agents or hazardous biological materials. They serve as a critical barrier between hazardous substances and the laboratory environment.

BSCs are specifically designed to:
- ✅ Protect personnel from exposure to harmful biological agents and pathogens.
- ✅ Protect the environment by containing and filtering biohazardous aerosols before release.
- ✅ Maintain product integrity (in Class II and III cabinets) by minimizing contamination during sensitive procedures.
Biosafety Cabinets are a cornerstone of modern biosafety practices. Their use supports compliance with global regulatory requirements and guidelines established by organizations such as the CDC, WHO, and NIH, and they are often mandated under Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) and Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) environments.
