BioSafety Cabinets & Laminar Flow Hoods
Protect the people, samples, and processes that matter most. Canadian Scientific supplies Labconco biosafety cabinets and laminar flow hoods for research, healthcare, pharmaceutical, and academic laboratories.
The Difference Between a Biosafety Cabinet and a Laminar Flow Hood
Biosafety Cabinets protect personnel, samples, and the surrounding environment from hazardous airborne biological particles using controlled airflow and HEPA filtration.
Laminar Flow Hoods provide HEPA-filtered airflow to protect samples from contamination but do not protect personnel or the environment. They are intended for non-hazardous applications.
The Difference Between Type A2 and Type B2 Biosafety Cabinets
Type A2 Biosafety Cabinets recirculate approximately 70% of HEPA-filtered air, exhausting the remaining 30% into the laboratory or through an optional canopy connection. They are ideal for many biological research applications.
Type B2 Biosafety Cabinets exhaust 100% of HEPA-filtered air outside the building through dedicated ductwork. They are suited to biological applications requiring total exhaust, including certain processes involving volatile toxic chemicals.
