BSC Use: Work Practices and Procedures
Biological Safety Cabinets (BSCs) are an indispensable piece of safety equipment in the microbiological and biomedical laboratory; however, they only protect when they are used properly. The following training is excerpted from the CDC publication " Primary Containment for Biohazards: Selection, Installation and Use of Biological Safety Cabinets" which can be viewed online here.
BSCs are designed to provide personnel, environmental and product protection when appropriate practices and procedures are followed. Three kinds of biological safety cabinets, designated as Class I, II and III have been developed to meet varying research and clinical needs.
