Abstract
A biosafety cabinet including a plenum and a divider positioned in the plenum. The divider divides the plenum into a supply section and an exhaust section. A blower is positioned adjacent the plenum and in fluid communication with the plenum. The blower is configured to simultaneously supply air to both the supply section and the exhaust section of the plenum. An exhaust filter is positioned between the exhaust section and an exhaust outlet. The air supplied to the exhaust section from the blower passes through the exhaust filter. A supply filter is positioned between the supply section and a work area. The air supplied to the supply section from the blower passes through the supply filter. An adjuster may be coupled to the divider to adjust a position of the divider in the plenum.
