A biological safety cabinet (BSC) is a Class II unit providing personnel, product and environmental protection. The majority of applications involve containment of biological hazards while providing sterile field for vulnerable experimental materials.

If the BSC has a pressure differential gauge, also called a magnehelic gauge, this needs to be checked and recorded. Compare the reading to what was recorded previously.
