The main features and precautions for the use of laboratory biosafety cabinets

   A laboratory biosafety cabinet is an important piece of equipment used to protect experimental personnel, environment, and samples. It is widely used in life science research, bioengineering, pharmacy, and other fields. The main function is to prevent the leakage, cross-contamination, and airborne transmission of biological substances during experimental operations, and to protect the safety of experimental personnel and the cleanliness of the experimental environment.
    How laboratory biological safety cabinets work:
1. Laminar airflow: The interior of the biological safety cabinet uses a vertical downward airflow laminar flow system with forced circulation, allowing air to enter the safety cabinet from the top and flow downward along the work area, effectively preventing the spread and leakage of biological substances.
2. Negative pressure control: The biological safety cabinet establishes a negative pressure environment in the work area, and discharges polluted gases and particles outside through the exhaust system to keep the experimental environment clean and safe.
3. Filtration and purification: The biological safety cabinet is equipped with a high-efficiency air filter, which can remove microorganisms, organic matter, particulate matter, and other pollutants in the air to ensure the safety and purification of experimental operations.
    The main features of biological safety cabinets:
1. The biological safety cabinet has the characteristics of good sealing, precise negative pressure control, and high filtration efficiency. It can effectively prevent the leakage and airborne transmission of biological substances, and protect the safety of experimental personnel and the cleanliness of the experimental environment.
2. The internal materials of the biological safety cabinet are corrosion-resistant, easy to clean, and have fire-proof, explosion-proof, and other characteristics, and can adapt to the needs of different types and levels of biological experiments.
3. Biological safety cabinets are equipped with multiple safety measures, such as emergency power outage devices, air leakage alarms, etc., which can promptly issue alarms and take corresponding measures in emergencies.
4. The biological safety cabinet adopts an advanced intelligent control system, which can monitor and adjust parameters such as temperature, humidity, and wind speed to provide good experimental environmental conditions.
    Precautions for using biological safety cabinets:
1. Experimental personnel should receive special training before operation, be familiar with the use of biological safety cabinets and safety procedures, and conduct experiments in strict accordance with the operating procedures.
2. Experimenters should wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as lab coats, gloves, goggles, etc., to ensure personal safety.
3. Regularly inspect and maintain the biological safety cabinet, including filter replacement, laminar air flow performance testing, sealing inspection, etc., to ensure its normal operation and protective effect.
4. The inside of the biological safety cabinet should be kept clean, and experiments should be conducted by prescribed working procedures to avoid cross-contamination and accidents.
   Biological safety cabinets are widely used in laboratories, mainly in the following aspects:
1. Microbial culture and operation: Biological safety cabinets provide a safe operating environment and can be used for the cultivation, isolation, passage, and operation of microorganisms.
2. Cell culture and operation: Biological safety cabinets can protect cell samples from external contamination and airborne transmission, ensuring the purity and success rate of cell culture.
3. Experimental operations and chemical processing: Biological safety cabinets can be used for various experimental operations and chemical processing, such as drug screening, molecular biology experiments, biochemical reactions, etc.
4. Drug preparation and operation: Biological safety cabinets can be used for the preparation, configuration, and operation of drugs to ensure the purity and quality of drugs and prevent cross-contamination.
   Laboratory biological safety cabinets are indispensable equipment. Through the working principles of laminar airflow, negative pressure control, and filtration and purification, they can effectively protect experimental personnel, samples, and the environment, and prevent the leakage and cross-contamination of biological substances. It plays an important role in life science research, bioengineering, pharmacy, and other fields, providing a safe and clean experimental environment and ensuring the accuracy and reliability of experimental operations. When using biological safety cabinets, experimenters need to abide by the corresponding safety operating procedures and regularly test and maintain the equipment to ensure its normal operation and protective effect.
