All Class III biological safety cabinets are suitable for work with microbiological agents assigned to biosafety levels 1, 2, 3 and 4. These BSCs are frequently
Class III cabinets are designed for microbiological work demanding extremely high levels containment and are therefore often used for work involving some of the deadliest biohazards, bacteria, viruses and microorganisms. Training and installation can be purchased as a separate package.
Class III cabinets usually exhaust air back to the laboratory; however, air may also be exhausted via a dedicated ductwork system to the external environment.
Class III. A Class III cabinet is defined as a totally enclosed, ventilated cabinet with leak-tight construction and attached rubber gloves for performing operations in the cabinet.
How Does a Class III Biological Safety Cabinets Work? The Class III biological safety cabinet was designed for work with biosafety level 4 (BSL-4) microbiological agents, and provides maximum protection to the environment and the worker. It is a gas-tight enclosure with a non-opening, completely sealed, viewing window.
The Biological Safety Cabinet Class III is designed to provide the highest level of containment when working with hazardous materials involving highly infectious microbiological agents in BSL-4 Cabinet laboratories. These gas-tight enclosures protect the operator, the environment as well as the work in progress.
The Class III biological safety cabinet provides an absolute level of safety, which cannot be attained with Class I and Class II cabinets. All Class III cabinets are usually made of welded metal construction and are designed to be gas tight and work is performed through glove ports in the front of the cabinet.
