Innovative Technologies Result in a More Sustainable and Energy-Efficient Total Exhaust Biological Safety Cabinet

Biological safety cabinets (BSCs) provide the primary source of containment for microbiological research. Laboratories that need containment and removal of vapors, mists and particulates will often choose a Class II, Type B2 total exhaust BSC (Type B2). Because this type of BSC must be totally exhausted to the outside through a facility’s HVAC system, it requires a great deal of energy to operate and can add significantly to a laboratory or facility’s operating costs.
