Understanding Cytotoxic Cabinets
A cytotoxic cabinet is a specialised safety enclosure designed for the preparation and handling of cytotoxic drugs and hazardous chemicals in laboratory environments. These cabinets provide a high level of protection for both the operator and the environment by preventing exposure to harmful substances. Equipped with HEPA filtration and controlled airflow, cytotoxic cabinets maintain sterile conditions, filtering out airborne contaminants and ensuring the safety of sensitive samples. They are essential for pharmaceutical labs, hospitals, and research facilities working with chemotherapy drugs, hazardous biological agents, or toxic chemicals. These cabinets are compliant with safety standards and guidelines to minimise contamination risks and ensure safe working conditions.
