Abstract
This equipment is designed for controlling aerosols and microparticles associated with managing potentially toxic or infectious biological material in laboratories in activities such as agitation, centrifugation, pipetting, and opening of pressurized containers. Safety cabinets have been designed to protect the user, the environment and the sample manipulated using appropriate ventilation conditions. They are also known as laminar flow cabinets and/or biosafety cabinets.
