FAQ on Laboratory Safety and Containment Equipment

What distinguishes Class I, II, and III Biological Safety Cabinets?
Class I cabinets protect personnel and the environment but not the product. Class II cabinets offer protection for personnel, products, and the environment. Class III cabinets are sealed and provide maximum protection for high-risk biological agents.

How do I determine the appropriate compounding hood for my needs?
The choice of a compounding hood depends on the substances handled and the required containment level. Ensure the hood meets relevant standards and consult with safety experts to align with your specific requirements.

Why is negative pressure used in containment equipment?
Negative pressure ensures that air flows into the enclosure, containing hazardous substances and preventing contamination of the surrounding area.

Can cytotoxic safety cabinets be used for other hazardous materials?
These cabinets are designed for cytotoxic drugs but can handle other hazardous materials as long as they do not require different containment specifications. Follow all relevant safety protocols.
