Applications include isolation and identification of plant/human pathogens, work in virology, tissue culture, sterility testing and recombinant DNA research. This Biohazard Cabinet offers operator protection from low to moderate risk biological agents (or chemical carcinogens), while providing a sterile work environment for the procedure. The cabinet is kept under negative pressure with partial quantity of recirculated air exhausted through a HEPA filter. External exhaust from the laboratory is optional.
The Biological Safety Cabinet is similar in performance and specification to the Vertical Series, described in Laminar Air Flow.
