What Airflow Accomplishes



  • Personnel Protection
    Intake air rushing into the front half of the front grille prevents aerosols in the work area from escaping

  • Product Protection
    HEPA filtered downflow air in the rear of the front grille prevents outside contaminants from entering the work space

  • Environmental Protection
    All air leaving the BSC is HEPA filtered to prevent aerosols from escaping in the exhaust air

  • Disturbances in the airflow reduce the protection provided by the BSC, as demonstrated by the video clip
