➣ The primary purpose of biosafety cabinets is to protect the laboratory personnel and the environment from the pathogenic microorganism as aerosols might be formed during the processing of such microorganisms.➣ Biosafety cabinets are only used for certain risk group organisms and for processes that might result in aerosol formation.
➣ These cabinets are provided with HEPA-filters that decontaminate the air moving out of the cabinet.
