Class I Biosafety Cabinet LB-10BSC Personnel And Environmental Containment System

Product Snapshot

What Is This Product Used For?

Class I Biosafety Cabinet LB-10BSC is used for laboratory procedures that generate aerosols or involve potentially infectious materials. It maintains operator and environmental protection through inward airflow and HEPA-filtered exhaust systems.

Typical applications include:

• Biological sample preparation

• Pipetting and blending operations

• Cell disruption procedures

• Microbiological testing

• Aerosol-generating laboratory processes

• Biosafety containment procedures

It is suitable for laboratory workflows where biological containment is required without product sterility protection.

This cabinet is commonly installed in laboratory environments prioritizing biosafety and containment operation, including:

• Microbiology and molecular biology laboratories

• Pharmaceutical and biotechnology research facilities

• Public health and veterinary laboratories

• Academic research and teaching laboratories

• Clinical and diagnostic testing centers

Labotronics LB-10BSC is suitable for BSL-1 and BSL-2 laboratory environments.

How Does Class I Biosafety Cabinet LB-10BSC Work?

Labotronics LB-10BSC operates using controlled inward airflow and HEPA filtration systems to minimize aerosol exposure during laboratory procedures.

Inward Airflow and Containment
Ambient air is drawn through the front opening at controlled velocity to create a containment barrier that minimizes aerosol escape.

HEPA Filtration Process
Contaminated air passes through a HEPA filter with ≥99.97% efficiency for 0.3 µm particles before exhaust discharge into the environment.

Negative Pressure Chamber
The internal workspace operates under negative pressure conditions to maintain biological containment during operation.

Exhaust System
Filtered air is discharged through a ducted or recirculating exhaust configuration depending on laboratory installation requirements.
