Now let's take a look at the correct answer and see if you got it right.

Answer: Picture 1 is a Clean Bench; Picture 2 is a Biological Safety Cabinet

Next, follow me to explore the differences between Clean Benches and Biological Safety Cabinets!

Although Clean Benches and Biological Safety Cabinets look similar, they have essential differences. Next, I will elaborate on the differences between them from the three aspects of functions, structures, and uses.

1) different functions

The Clean Bench is an important purification equipment that uses air purification technology to achieve local clean environment protection;

Biological Safety Cabinets can not only provide a local clean working environment but also filter aerosols generated during experimental operations to prevent harmful substances from polluting the environment and causing health hazards to experimenters.

2) different structures

The working area of most Clean Benches is under positive pressure. With the blower, the air on the top of the equipment is directly transmitted to the working area through the filter system to form air pressure and then discharged from the front window.

The working area of the Biological Safety Cabinet is under negative pressure, which can prevent the aerosol in the experimental sample from escaping through the front window. Its interior separately filters the airflow through the working area and the exhaust airflow.

3) different uses

The Clean Bench is suitable for non-toxic and harmless operation objects, generally used in hospitals, biopharmaceuticals, food, medical science experiments, optics, electronics, sterile room experiments, sterile microbial inspection, plant tissue culture inoculation, and other scientific research and production departments that require a local clean and sterile working environment.

The use of Biological Safety Cabinets is more suitable for experiments with volatile chemicals and volatile radionuclides.
