Biological Safety Cabinet (BSC) in the form of a ventilated cupboard using a combination of High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filtration system, laminar airflow, and containment to protect laboratory, product, and the environment from harmful biological agents. This research aims to determine the effect of level 1 BSC created to decrease the number of air germs in the laboratory. This study was an observational analytic using a cohort design. The research object is the number of air germs in standard Level 1 BSC Safe-tech ES 199 models and level 1 BSC created from a team in the laboratory. Data analysis using one-way ANOVA and independent t-test. One-way ANOVA test data shows the standard level 1 BSC Safe-tech ES 199 models and the creation of level 1 BSC used in 60 minutes and 90 minutes is the same as significant (p>0.05), while the duration of use for 120 minutes has a significant difference (p<0.05). Independent t-test analysis showed Sig (2-tailed) = 0.577, so there were no differences between the two tools during the 120-minute use. The creation of level 1 BSC can reduce the number of air germs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
