A biosafety cabinet —also called a biological safety cabinet or microbiological safety cabinet—is an enclosed, ventilated laboratory workspace for safely working with materials contaminated with pathogens requiring a defined biosafety level. A BSC is an enclosed, ventilated laboratory workspace for safely working with materials contaminated with (or potentially contaminated with) pathogens. A HEPA (high-efficiency particulate air) filter is used to remove particles (such as bacteria, viruses, pollen, etc.)
