Biological Safety Cabinets as Primary Barrier- Overview
{"Image DocumentName": "Biological Safety Cabinets as Primary Barrier- Overview", "Image ImageDescription": "Protection of. Product. Personnel. Environment. Class II Biological Safety Cabinet. Equipment is laid out to not restrict airflow in the cabinet. High efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter. Traps particulates 0.01 microns and larger including bacteria and viruses. chemicals, fumes, and vapors pass through. Properly maintained Class I and II BSCs, when used in conjunction with good microbiological techniques, provide an effective containment system for safe manipulation of moderate and high-risk microorganisms (Biosafety Level 2 and 3 agents). Both Class I and II BSCs have inward face velocities ( linear feet per minute) that provide comparable levels of containment to protect laboratory workers and the immediate environment from infectious aerosols generated within the cabinet. Class II BSCs also protect the research material itself through high-efficiency particulate air filtration (HEPA filtration) of the air flow down across the work surface (vertical laminar flow). Class III cabinets offer the maximum protection to laboratory personnel, the community, and the environment because all hazardous materials are contained in a totally enclosed, ventilated cabinet.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
