Biosafety Cabinets (Class II) in Ethiopia
Available Biosafety Cabinets (Class II) Models

A Biosafety Cabinet (BSC) Class II is a crucial piece of laboratory equipment designed to protect both the user and the surrounding environment from airborne biological agents, such as bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms. It achieves this through a carefully engineered system of airflow and filtration. Essentially, it creates a sterile work area within the laboratory, ensuring that hazardous biological materials are contained and prevented from escaping into the atmosphere. This controlled environment is vital for a wide range of scientific and clinical procedures.

The primary function of a Class II BSC is to provide personnel protection by preventing the escape of aerosols, product protection by maintaining a sterile environment for the sample being handled, and cross-contamination protection between samples. This is accomplished through a combination of inward airflow at the front opening, which draws in potential contaminants, and a downward laminar flow of HEPA-filtered air within the work chamber. The HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filters effectively capture over 99.97% of airborne particles, including microorganisms, ensuring that both the air exhausted from the cabinet and the air recirculated within it are purified.

In Ethiopia, the demand for Class II Biosafety Cabinets (BSCs) is driven by the critical need to protect personnel, the environment, and product integrity during the handling of infectious agents. These advanced containment systems are indispensable for a wide range of facilities and departments involved in biological research, diagnostics, and healthcare. Understanding which institutions and specific areas require this level of protection is crucial for effective biosafety planning and investment.

Ensuring the proper installation of your Class II Biosafety Cabinet (BSC) in Ethiopia is paramount for maintaining a safe laboratory environment and achieving optimal performance. Our dedicated team will guide you through each step, from initial site assessment to final calibration, guaranteeing a seamless and compliant setup.

The cost of a Class II Biosafety Cabinet (BSC) in Ethiopia can vary significantly based on several factors, including the brand, specific features, supplier, and even the prevailing import duties and shipping costs at the time of purchase. While definitive pricing requires direct consultation with local suppliers, you can expect a general price range. For a new, certified Class II BSC, prices typically fall between ETB 350,000 and ETB 1,500,000 or more. This broad range accounts for differences in performance standards, energy efficiency, control systems, and the inclusion of specialized accessories.

Several key determinants influence this price:

• Brand Reputation and Quality: Established international brands often command higher prices due to their perceived reliability, advanced technology, and stringent quality control.
• Features and Specifications: Cabinets with advanced features such as digital displays, HEPA filter monitoring systems, integrated UV sterilization, and variable fan speeds will generally be more expensive.
• Certifications: Units that come with specific international certifications (e.g., NSF, CE) may have a higher price point, reflecting adherence to global safety and performance standards.
• Supplier and Warranty: The reputation and service offerings of the local supplier, including installation, training, and after-sales support, can also influence the final price. Longer warranty periods and comprehensive service packages may add to the initial investment.
• Import Costs: As most high-quality BSCs are imported, the cost of international shipping, customs duties, and local taxes in Ethiopia will significantly impact the landed price.

When budgeting, it's crucial to consider not just the upfront purchase price but also the ongoing costs of maintenance, filter replacement, and potential service contracts to ensure the continued safe and effective operation of your biosafety cabinet.
