Biological Safety Cabinets in Zambia
Available Biological Safety Cabinets Models

A Biological Safety Cabinet (BSC) is a specialized piece of laboratory equipment designed to protect both the user and the environment from hazardous biological agents. Essentially, it's a highly controlled workspace that utilizes HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filtration to create a sterile working area and prevent the escape of aerosols containing microorganisms, viruses, or other potentially infectious materials. These cabinets are crucial for maintaining aseptic conditions during a wide range of laboratory procedures.

The primary function of a BSC is to provide a contained environment for handling biological materials. This is achieved through a carefully engineered airflow system. Incoming air is filtered before entering the workspace, and the air within the cabinet is continuously recirculated and exhausted through HEPA filters. This multi-stage filtration process effectively traps airborne particles, including pathogens, ensuring that neither the sample nor the laboratory personnel are exposed to contamination or biohazards.

In Zambia, the safe handling of biological materials is paramount across a diverse range of healthcare and research institutions. Biological Safety Cabinets (BSCs) are essential for protecting both personnel and the environment from hazardous microorganisms, airborne particles, and cross-contamination. Their application extends beyond large urban centres, reaching critical facilities in both public and private sectors throughout the country.

Ensuring the optimal performance and safety of your Biological Safety Cabinet (BSC) begins with a meticulous installation process. We understand the unique logistical considerations within Zambia and have developed a streamlined approach to guarantee a seamless setup. Our expert technicians will guide you through each stage, from initial site assessment to final calibration, ensuring your BSC is ready to protect your personnel and your samples.

The cost of a biological safety cabinet (BSC) in Zambia can vary significantly based on several factors, including the cabinet's class (Class I, II, or III), size, brand reputation, advanced features (like HEPA filtration efficiency, UV sterilization, or electronic controls), and the supplier. For new units, you can expect a broad price range. Smaller, more basic Class II BSCs might start in the range of K25,000 to K70,000 Zambian Kwacha. Mid-range models with enhanced features and from reputable international brands could fall between K70,000 to K150,000+ Zambian Kwacha. High-end, specialized, or larger Class II and Class III cabinets, often required for more stringent biosafety levels, can easily exceed K150,000 and go upwards of K300,000 or more.

It's important to note that these figures are estimates for new equipment. The market for refurbished or pre-owned BSCs exists, and these can offer a more budget-friendly option, though availability and condition will vary. Always factor in potential costs for installation, maintenance, and certification when budgeting for a biological safety cabinet.
