BSCAB150 Mini Biosafety Cabinet Class I · HEPA · Ductless · Bench-top
The BSCAB150 mini biosafety cabinet Class I protects the operator and the room on a small bench-top footprint. Room air enters through the front opening, carries particles and aerosols away from the operator and leaves the cabinet only through a HEPA filter. No exhaust duct is needed: the cabinet is 550 mm wide and fits any laboratory bench.
Mini biosafety cabinet Class I for low-risk work
A mini biosafety cabinet Class I is the right choice when the operator, not the sample, must be protected: weighing of powders, preparation of culture media or work with low-risk materials. The fan draws room air through the front opening at 0.3–0.6 m/s, a washable pre-filter and a HEPA filter clean the air, and the filtered air returns to the room.
Key features
- Class I: protection of operator and environment
- Pre-filter and HEPA filter 99.999 % at 0.3 µm
- Ductless: filtered air returns to the room
- Fan with 6 speed levels, soft-touch control panel, LED display
- Front window of toughened anti-UV glass, counterbalanced, opening up to 310 mm
- SUS304 stainless steel work surface
- LED lighting and UV lamp 253.7 nm
- External size 550 × 460 × 700 mm, 40 kg
Suitable for
- Preparation of culture media and weighing of powders
- Low-risk microbiology where only the operator needs protection
- Pharmacy, teaching and small laboratories
- Work with small amounts of chemicals, with the optional activated carbon filter
How the mini biosafety cabinet Class I protects you and the room
- Room air inflow — the air barrier at the front opening protects the operator.
- Air from the work zone — carried up to the filters.
- Filtered exhaust — HEPA and optional activated carbon; no exhaust duct needed.

Operating functions
Fan and lighting control
Soft-touch keys switch the light, the fan and the UV lamp; the fan has 6 speed levels and the LED display shows the selected setting.
Counterbalanced front window
The toughened anti-UV glass slides vertically. A counterbalance mechanism holds it at the height the operator sets, up to 310 mm, without an electric drive.
UV sterilisation
Run the UV lamp only with the work zone empty and the window closed: UV light damages samples and skin.
Construction, installation and care
The BSCAB150 mini biosafety cabinet Class I has a SUS304 stainless steel work surface and a corrosion-resistant body. Place it on a stable bench or on the optional base table, away from doors, air-conditioning outlets and walkways, and leave free space above the filtered air outlet. Clean the work surface with a neutral detergent or disinfectant; wash the pre-filter regularly.

How to choose
- BSCAB150 — compact bench-top cabinet when the operator must be protected from powders, aerosols or low-risk materials.
- Sample protection needed too? See the BSCAB2 biological safety cabinet Class II A2, which also protects the sample with HEPA downflow.
- Larger Class I work zone? See the BSCAB1100 Class I cabinet.
