Safety Enclosures
Safety enclosures are laboratory containment systems designed to protect personnel and the surrounding environment from hazardous particulates, aerosols, powders, and low-to-moderate risk biohazardous or chemical agents. These enclosures provide controlled airflow and HEPA-filtered exhaust to help maintain a safe working environment in research, clinical, pharmaceutical, and industrial laboratories.
Operating under negative pressure, safety enclosures draw room air into the front opening, pass it through filtration systems, and safely exhaust it. This design creates an open-front working environment while reducing operator exposure to airborne contaminants.
Safety enclosures are commonly used for:
- Powder handling and chemical weighing
- Blending and compounding processes
- Low- to moderate-risk biological work
- Applications requiring personnel protection but not product protection
Important: Unlike Biological Safety Cabinets that provide both personnel and product protection, safety enclosures are primarily designed to protect the operator and environment only.
