Biological Safety Cabinets (BSCs) are among the most critical pieces of laboratory equipment, using advanced airflow and HEPA filtration to protect personnel, products, and the environment from biological hazards. Reliable testing is essential to ensure they perform as intended.

Protection classifications

• Class I: Protects personnel and the environment through inward airflow and HEPA-filtered exhaust

• Class II: Triple protection: personnel, environment, and products via laminar airflow

• Class III: Maximum containment for the most dangerous biological agents

Why testing is essential

• Many laboratory-acquired infections result from aerosols generated during routine procedures. If a BSC fails, these invisible hazards can escape containment — putting staff safety, research integrity, and regulatory compliance at risk.

• Regular testing ensures cabinets perform reliably when safety matters most.

Comprehensive certification

AG&G Services provides NATA-accredited testing in full compliance with AS 2252.1–3, including:

• Airflow performance: Velocity, uniformity, and containment verification

• HEPA filter integrity: Installation and filtration effectiveness

• Work zone protection: Complete containment validation

• Operational safety: Noise, luminance, alarms, and UV radiation (where applicable)
