MSE PRO Biosafety Cabinets & Laminar Flow Cabinets
The MSE PRO™ Biosafety Cabinet (BSC) is an essential engineering control in laboratories. It protects users and samples from biohazards and contaminants, maintaining a sterile airflow. In contrast, a Laminar Flow Cabinet (LFC) creates a sterile workspace for tasks like cell culture and sample handling, ensuring minimal contamination by providing continuous filtered air.

Additional Info
What to know before you buy
As a biosafety cabinet supplier, MSE Supplies lists MSE PRO cabinets in all three protection classes, plus laminar flow cabinets and clean booths. Class I cabinets, in 21, 35 and 43 inch widths, protect the user and the room but not the sample. Class II cabinets, such as the Type A2 biological safety cabinet and the 43 inch Type B2, protect user, sample and environment, and are the usual choice for cell culture and microbiology.
Class III cabinets, in 60 and 70 inch widths, are fully enclosed glove box designs for the highest-risk agents. For handling hazardous drugs, the 42 and 54 inch cytotoxic safety cabinets are listed separately.
Laminar flow cabinets protect only the sample. Choose horizontal flow, from 43 to 70 inches, or vertical flow with an electric door. For larger clean work areas, there are ISO 5 dispensing booths and down flow clean booths from 3 to 25 m². For help choosing a class, read selecting a biosafety cabinet class.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which biosafety cabinet class do I need?
Class I protects the user and the room, and suits containment work where the sample does not need to stay sterile. Class II adds sample protection and covers most cell culture and microbiology. Class III is a sealed glove box design for the highest-risk agents. Your biosafety officer's risk assessment should set the class.
What is the difference between a Class II A2 and B2 cabinet?
An A2 cabinet recirculates part of the filtered air and exhausts the rest, and can handle small amounts of volatile chemicals when canopy-connected. A B2 cabinet exhausts all air through a hard duct, so it suits work with volatile toxic chemicals. Compare the A2 and 43 inch B2 pages.
When should I use a laminar flow cabinet instead of a biosafety cabinet?
Use a laminar flow cabinet only when the sample needs protection and the material poses no risk to the user, such as media prep or plating sterile, non-hazardous material. Horizontal flow cabinets, like the 59 inch model, blow filtered air toward the user, so never use them with biohazards.
What are dispensing booths and clean booths used for?
ISO 5 dispensing booths give a controlled area for weighing and sampling powders, in sizes from 2.21 to 6 m². Down flow clean booths, such as the 12 m² clean booth, create a larger clean zone over equipment or a work area, with sizes from 3 to 25 m².
How do I order cabinets for a new lab?
List the models and quantities on the bulk order request form. For a facility plan that mixes cabinet classes, laminar flow units or booths, use the quote request page and include room sizes and the work each area will handle.
