Biosafety Cabinets (BSCs) are specialized containment workstations used in clinical, pharmaceutical, microbiology, life science, and industrial laboratories where experiments require a highly controlled, contaminant-free environment. Also known as Biological Safety Cabinets or Biohazard Safety Cabinets, they are available in Class I, Class II, and Class III configurations, with Class II being the most widely used because it offers protection for the operator, the product, and the surrounding environment.

The selection of a Biosafety Cabinet depends on the biosafety level of the laboratory and the nature of biological agents being handled. Compared to standard clean benches, Biosafety Cabinets provide superior protection against pathogenic biological agents and airborne infectious microorganisms, ensuring operator safety, product integrity, and environmental containment.
