Portable Biosafety Cabinet

Portable Biosafety Cabinet

A Portable Biosafety Cabinet is a self-contained laboratory workstation designed to provide a sterile environment for handling biological materials. These cabinets are equipped with HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filters to remove airborne contaminants and are often used in settings where a full-sized biosafety cabinet is impractical or unnecessary. They are especially useful for fieldwork, small laboratories, or situations where mobility and flexibility are required.


Key Features                  

  1. HEPA Filters: Captures particles as small as 0.3 microns, ensuring a sterile environment.
  2. UV Light: Often included for additional sterilization when the cabinet is not in use.
  3. Laminar Flow: Provides a consistent flow of filtered air to minimize the risk of contamination.
  4. Portable Design: Lightweight and often equipped with wheels for easy transport.
  5. Durability: Constructed from materials resistant to corrosion and easy to clean.

Applications

  • Clinical Laboratories: Handling of infectious materials.
  • Pharmaceutical Work: Compounding sterile preparations.
  • Field Research: Working with samples in remote locations.
  • Educational Institutions: Teaching students about sterile techniques in biology and microbiology.

Benefits

  • Flexibility: Can be moved and used in various locations as needed.
  • Cost-Effective: Typically less expensive than full-sized biosafety cabinets.
  • Space-Saving: Ideal for small laboratories or temporary setups.
  • Enhanced Safety: Protects both the user and the materials being handled from contamination.
