Biological safety cabinets

Biological safety cabinets are ventilated enclosures that protect the operator, the sample and the surrounding laboratory from exposure to infectious agents and aerosols generated during microbiological work. On the Questpair catalogue, 1970 biological safety cabinets are listed from 20 verified suppliers and distributors across 10 countries, and 96 percent of those listings are used. New, used and refurbished units all appear, with laboratory models ranging from compact benchtop clean benches to large Class II enclosures. Prices run from EUR 24 to EUR 258.267. The distinction between a true safety cabinet and a laminar flow hood matters here, because only the former protects the person working at it.
