Biological safety cabinets are one sort of biocontainment tool used in biological laboratories to protect workers, the environment, and products as well. The major applications of these instruments are the handling of harmful biological samples and tasks requiring a sterile work environment. In addition to this, the said products generate upward and downward airflow that protects the operator. Biological safety cabinets are built with energy-saving and ergonomic features. These are also accustomed to high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters to reduce exposure to biohazards. Biosafety procedures must be followed in order to safeguard the user and the environment.
