Class 1 Biological Safety Cabinet

Our Class 1 Biological Safety Cabinet are engineered to deliver operator and environmental protection when working with hazardous or airborne particulate materials.

The system operates using a controlled inward airflow, drawing air through the open front, across the work surface, and through high-efficiency filtration before being safely discharged either back into the room or via an external extract system.

This design ensures that contaminants are contained and prevented from escaping into the surrounding environment, making Class 1 cabinets a dependable solution for laboratories prioritising safety and compliance.

Key Features & Benefits of Class 1 Biological Safety Cabinet

• Protects operator and environment
• Controlled inward airflow for containment
• High-efficiency H14 HEPA filtration (99.995% @ 0.3µ)
• Compliant with BS EN 12469 and NSF 49 standards
• Type tested by UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA)
• Available in recirculating, ducted, thimble, or TriMAT exhaust configurations
• Durable construction with stainless steel work surface for easy cleaning

How It Works

• Air is drawn into the cabinet through the front opening
• Air flows across the work surface
• Contaminated air is filtered through HEPA filters
• Clean air is safely discharged (recirculated or extracted)

This airflow design ensures that airborne hazards are contained, protecting both the user and the wider lab environment.
