Biological Safety Cabinet - Class III-500 Series

Introduction

The LuxMed® Biological Safety Cabinet Class III-500 Series is engineered to provide the highest level of biosafety containment for laboratories handling Risk Group 4 (BSL-4) pathogens, carcinogenic chemicals, and extremely hazardous biological materials. This cabinet establishes a complete physical barrier between personnel and biological agents through a gas-tight, fully sealed chamber operating under total negative pressure.

Designed for critical research environments, the Class III-500 Series ensures zero direct contact with hazardous materials while maintaining consistent and controlled airflow via a dedicated exterior exhaust system.

Maximum Safety Through Total Isolation

Unlike Class I and Class II cabinets, the Class III BSC functions as a sealed glove-box system. All handling is performed through attached heavy-duty gloves, eliminating direct exposure risks.

• 100% air exhaust with 0% recirculation

• Complete negative pressure inside the work chamber

• Exterior ducted exhaust system for safe air discharge

• Triple-stage ULPA filtration for supply and exhaust air
