Class III biological safety cabinet

1. What Is a Class III Biosafety Cabinet?

A Class III Biosafety Cabinet is a specialized cleanroom device designed to provide maximum protection for the user, the surrounding environment, and the sample being handled. It is specifically used when working with high-risk biological agents, such as bacteria and viruses classified in Biosafety Level 3 and 4 (BSL-3 & BSL-4).

The cabinet is completely sealed, and all operations are conducted through gloves attached to the front panel. Air entering and exiting the cabinet is filtered through HEPA/ULPA filters, ensuring complete containment of potentially hazardous agents and preventing any contamination of the external environment.

2. How Does a Class III Biosafety Cabinet Work?

  • External air is drawn into the cabinet and passed through a HEPA pre-filter, removing dust particles and microorganisms before entering the work zone.

  • The internal environment of the cabinet is maintained under negative pressure, preventing any accidental release of pathogens to the outside.

  • Exhaust air passes through a series of HEPA or ULPA filters, or in some cases, a combination of HEPA and activated carbon filters, ensuring the complete elimination of hazardous biological agents and toxic gases.

  • All operations with hazardous materials are performed indirectly through fixed gloves, ensuring no direct contact with the samples.

4. Advantages of the Class III Biosafety Cabinet

  • Ensures absolute safety for personnel, samples, and the surrounding environment.

  • Fully sealed design minimizes any risk of biological leakage.

  • Made from high-quality, corrosion-resistant materials that are easy to clean and disinfect.

  • Integrated pressure monitoring and alarm system for real-time leak detection.

  • High-efficiency filtration system meets WHO, CDC, and NSF international biosafety standards.

5. Applications of the Class III Biosafety Cabinet

Class III biosafety cabinets are widely used in environments requiring maximum biological containment, such as:

  • BSL-3 and BSL-4 laboratories

  • Research centers studying highly infectious agents like SARS, H5N1, Ebola, etc.

  • Vaccine manufacturing and microbiological or molecular biology testing

  • National institutes, hospitals, and disease control centers (CDC)
