BioSafety Cabinets

Biological Safety Cabinets (BSCs) protect operators from hazardous agents within the hood, while safe-guarding internal samples from outside contaminants. Terra offers Class II, Types A2, B2 and C1, as well as Class I enclosures compliant with USP 800 for non-sterile compounding of hazardous drugs. Work stations direct air as single-pass or recirculating, and pressure may be positive or negative, depending on the hood design. In Class II systems, room air is filtered prior to entering the hood, and filtered exhaust is connected to facility vent systems for safe evacuation of hazards.
