Class II safety cabinets

Biosafety Cabinet Class II (BSC Class II)

1. What is a Biosafety Cabinet Class II?

A Biosafety Cabinet Class II (BSC Class II) is a specialized laboratory equipment designed to provide protection for:

  • The operator

  • The biological samples

  • The working environment

The cabinet uses HEPA filtration to remove airborne contaminants, effectively preventing cross-contamination and the spread of biohazards into the surrounding environment.

2. How it Works

BSC Class II operates based on air recirculation combined with HEPA filtration. The process is as follows:

  • Ambient air is drawn into the front grille of the cabinet, forming an air barrier to protect the operator.

  • A portion of the air is directed vertically downward across the work surface to ensure sterile conditions for the samples.

  • The air is then pulled back upward, passed through a HEPA filter, and exhausted either partially or completely, depending on the cabinet type.

BSC Class II is categorized into five types based on airflow design and exhaust mechanism: Type A1, A2, B1, B2, and C1.

3. Technical Specifications of Class II Cabinet Types

TypeAir Recirculation / Exhaust RatioExhaust SystemApplication
A1 70% recirculated / 30% exhausted Exhaust into room via HEPA filter Non-hazardous biological samples
A2 70% recirculated / 30% exhausted Exhaust into room or ducted out Low-risk samples without toxic chemicals
B1 30% recirculated / 70% exhausted Exhausted through ducted system Use with light chemicals or infectious agents
B2 0% recirculated / 100% exhausted Fully ducted to the outside High-risk samples or toxic chemicals
C1 Flexible (operates as A2 or B2) Modular exhaust with special filters Versatile applications in dynamic environments

4. Key Advantages of BSC Class II

  • Provides comprehensive protection for user, sample, and environment

  • High-efficiency HEPA filters remove ≥99.97% of particles ≥0.3 microns

  • Airtight design with easy maintenance and cleaning

  • Quiet, energy-efficient operation

  • Available in multiple configurations to suit various applications

5. Typical Applications

BSC Class II cabinets are widely used in:

  • Microbiology, biomedical, and pharmaceutical laboratories

  • Biotechnology and vaccine development centers

  • Hospitals, diagnostic and testing laboratories

  • Biological manufacturing and cell culture labs

  • Cleanroom environments in high-tech industries
