Biosafety cabinets, also known as biological safety cabinets or microbiological safety cabinets, are enclosed, ventilated workspaces used in research, hospital, and industry laboratories. They are designed to protect workers from potentially toxic or infectious materials and/or to protect samples and products from environmental contamination.

Biosafety cabinets are used in various industries, including medical and biological research, drug preparation, and medical diagnostics, to create a sterile and consistent environment.

Principles of operation use motor driven blowers (fans) mounted in the cabinet to draw directional mass airflow around a user and into the air grille – protecting the operator. The air is then drawn underneath the work surface and back up to the top of the cabinet where it passes through the HEPA filters.

IVF workstations are specially designed for laboratories of in vitro fertilization. Highly pure air environment in the cabinet chamber provides solid protection of the technological process and minimizes the risk of contamination when working with oocytes and embryos and doing research in ART.

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is the joining of a woman’s egg and a man’s sperm in a laboratory dish. In vitro means outside the body.
