Microbiological Safety Cabinets – Distributed by Envirosafe Ireland

Revolutionize your laboratory safety with Envirosafe Ireland’s state-of-the-art Biological Safety Cabinets (BSCs), also known as Biosafety Cabinets or Microbiological Safety Cabinets. Our cutting-edge BSCs are designed for those working with pathogenic biological samples and in need of a sterile work environment. Trusted by laboratories, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, and research institutions, our high-performance cabinets are engineered to provide operator, product, and environmental protection in microbiological and biomedical settings. Whether you need Class 1, Class 2, or Class 3 microbiological safety cabinets, we supply the latest certified technology to meet your safety and compliance needs.

What Are Microbiological Safety Cabinets?

Microbiological Safety Cabinets (MSCs) are enclosed, ventilated laboratory workspaces designed to safely handle pathogens and hazardous biological materials. These cabinets use HEPA filtration and directional airflow to protect the operator, the environment, and—depending on the class of cabinet—the product or process being carried out inside. They are essential in applications involving microbiology, virology, tissue culture, and genetic manipulation.

Types of Microbiological Safety Cabinets Available

We supply a full range of  Microbiological Safety Cabinets, including Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3 cabinets. Each type is designed for a specific level of protection and application.

Class 1 Safety Cabinets

• Operator & Environmental Protection: Provides protection for the user and environment only. Does not protect the product.
• Applications: Low- to moderate-risk work involving biological agents or chemical vapours.
• Airflow: Inward airflow through the front opening and HEPA-filtered exhaust.

Class 1 cabinets are ideal for general microbiological research, powder weighing, and low-level containment tasks where product protection is not required.

Class 2 Safety Cabinets

• Operator, Product & Environmental Protection: Offers the best balance of safety across all fronts.
• Applications: Commonly used in clinical, pharmaceutical, and research labs working with moderate-risk biological materials.
• Airflow: Inward airflow through the front grille, vertical laminar downflow across the work area, and HEPA-filtered exhaust.

Our Class 2 Microbiological Safety Cabinets from CAS meet EN 12469 certification standards and are designed for high visibility, ease of maintenance, and optimal ergonomics.

Class 3 Safety Cabinets

• Maximum Protection: Total containment cabinet offering highest level of operator, product, and environmental safety.
• Applications: Used in handling highly infectious agents or hazardous chemicals (e.g., BSL-4 work).
• Design: Gas-tight enclosure with glove ports, double HEPA-filtered exhaust, and dedicated pass-through system.

Class 3 cabinets are suitable for use in high-containment facilities, including national reference labs and pharmaceutical R&D handling live virus work or carcinogenic agents.
