Overview

Biosafety cabinets are specialized laboratory equipment designed to provide a controlled environment for handling sensitive biological materials. They protect both the user and the environment from exposure to potentially hazardous agents by using HEPA filters and airflow systems. Commonly used in microbiology, biomedical, and pharmaceutical labs, these cabinets are essential for maintaining safety and sterility during experiments.

FAQ
