Review available Class II A2, Class II B2, certified and specialized biological safety cabinet configurations.
| Cabinet Type | Typical Application |
|---|---|
| Class II Type A2 Biosafety Cabinet | Used for biological and microbiological procedures requiring protection of the operator, working material and surrounding laboratory environment. |
| Class II Type B2 Biosafety Cabinet | Designed for higher-containment workflows requiring externally exhausted air and no cabinet air recirculation. |
| NSF-Certified Biosafety Cabinet | Selected for laboratories that require cabinet configurations evaluated according to applicable NSF biological safety cabinet requirements. |
| EN-Certified Biosafety Cabinet | Suitable for laboratories specifying cabinet designs evaluated according to applicable European biological safety cabinet requirements. |
| Double-Sided Biosafety Cabinet | Provides access from two sides for selected workflows, production layouts or laboratory processes requiring material transfer between controlled areas. |
| Compact Biosafety Cabinet | Designed for laboratories with limited installation space or lower-volume biological handling requirements. |
| Cytotoxic Safety Cabinet | Developed for controlled preparation and handling workflows involving cytotoxic or hazardous pharmaceutical materials, subject to the selected cabinet configuration. |
| Specialized Biological Containment Cabinet | Used for application-specific laboratory protection, biohazard handling and specialized research or clinical workflows. |
Controlled inward airflow helps reduce operator exposure to airborne biological contaminants generated inside the working area.
Filtered downflow supports a cleaner working zone and helps reduce contamination of samples, cultures, reagents and laboratory materials.
Filtered exhaust airflow helps limit the release of airborne biological contaminants from the cabinet into the surrounding laboratory.

| Comparison Item | Class II Type A2 | Class II Type B2 |
|---|---|---|
| Airflow Arrangement | A portion of filtered air is generally recirculated within the cabinet, with the remaining air exhausted. | Cabinet air is exhausted without recirculation into the working area. |
| Exhaust Connection | The required exhaust arrangement depends on the model, application and laboratory installation. | Normally requires connection to a suitable external exhaust system. |
| Typical Selection | Common biological work, microbiology, cell culture and routine contamination-control procedures. | Selected higher-containment procedures and applications requiring full cabinet exhaust. |
| Facility Planning | Usually provides greater installation flexibility, depending on the selected configuration. | Requires careful coordination with the building ventilation and exhaust design. |
Selecting a biosafety cabinet should begin with a documented risk assessment. The laboratory should evaluate the biological agents being handled, required protection level, use of volatile substances, exhaust conditions, cabinet certification requirements and available installation space.
| Selection Factor | Questions to Consider |
|---|---|
| Cabinet Class and Type | Does the procedure require a Class II A2, Class II B2 or another specialized containment configuration? |
| Biological Risk | What microorganisms, cultures, clinical samples or biological agents will be handled inside the cabinet? |
| Personnel and Product Protection | Does the workflow require simultaneous protection of the operator, sample and surrounding environment? |
| Exhaust Configuration | Is an external exhaust connection available, and can the facility support the airflow requirements of the selected cabinet? |
| Working Width | How many operators, containers, instruments and sample racks must fit inside the working area? |
| Certification Preference | Does the laboratory require an NSF-certified, EN-certified or application-specific cabinet configuration? |
| Installation Space | Are the room dimensions, ceiling height, doorway clearance and service access suitable for installation? |
| Cabinet Placement | Can the cabinet be positioned away from doors, strong air currents, ventilation outlets and high-traffic areas? |
| Cleaning Requirements | Does the working chamber provide suitable access and surfaces for routine cleaning and decontamination? |
| Service and Certification | Is local installation support, airflow testing, filter service and periodic cabinet certification available? |

What types of biosafety cabinets does AELAB supply?
AELAB supplies Class II A2 and Class II B2 biological safety cabinets, along with selected NSF-certified, EN-certified, compact, double-sided, cytotoxic and specialized cabinet configurations.
What is the difference between a Class II A2 and a Class II B2 cabinet?
A Class II A2 cabinet normally recirculates a portion of filtered air, while a Type B2 cabinet exhausts cabinet air and normally requires a suitable external exhaust connection.
Is a biosafety cabinet the same as a laminar flow cabinet?
No. A biosafety cabinet is designed for biological containment and operator protection, while a laminar flow cabinet mainly protects non-hazardous samples or products from contamination.
Can a biosafety cabinet replace a chemical fume hood?
Not generally. Chemical fume hoods and biosafety cabinets are designed for different hazards. The correct enclosure must be selected according to the chemicals, biological agents and procedure involved.
Are certified AELAB biosafety cabinet models available?
Yes. The AELAB category includes selected NSF-certified and EN-certified biological safety cabinet product families. The exact certification and documentation should be confirmed for the required model before ordering.
What information is needed for model selection?
Provide the intended application, biological material, required cabinet class, preferred working width, exhaust availability, certification requirements, destination country and laboratory installation conditions.
Can AELAB recommend a suitable biosafety cabinet?
Yes. The AELAB team can review the application and installation requirements, recommend suitable cabinet models and provide technical specifications and a quotation.
Tell the AELAB technical sales team which biological materials will be handled, the required cabinet class, workspace width, exhaust conditions, certification preference and destination country.
The quotation can include recommended models, technical specifications, available configurations, optional accessories, delivery time, packaging and shipping information.
