Biosafety Cabinet is a laboratory
facility in the form of cabinet used to handle samples that may affect human
health, pathogen and biohazard samples. The use of the Biosafety Cabinet aims
to protect humans and the environment from sample contamination and protect
samples from cross contamination. The protection provided by the biosafety
cabinet was created by the airflow system. The airflow systems are inflow and
downflow. The inflow air protects humans as BSC operators and the environment
by shielding the open sash. While the downflow air flow protects the sample
from cross-contamination with a laminar flow of sterile air. In addition, BSC
also protects the environment by filtering exhaust air using a HEPA Filter.

Samples that can be handled using
the Biosafety Cabinet include
1. Food materials and products
2. Pharmaceutical materials and
products
3. Samples of blood, sputum,
saliva, mucus, urine and feces
4. Samples of pathogenic bacteria
and viruses
|
Biosafety Cabinets are commonly used
in the following laboratories
1. Food industry
2. Pharmaceutical industry
3. Senior high schools and
educational institutions
4. Puskesmas, Hospital and health facilities

System of
BSC Class II A2 PRIME

70% or most of the air is re-circulated to the
work area after being filtered by the HEPA Filter, while 30% or a small
portion of the air is discharged into the environment after being filtered by
the HEPA Filter.
