Performance Evaluation of Biological Safety Cabinets in Beijing, 2018-2023

1,803 performance testing records from 360 Class II Biological Safety Cabinets (BSCs) in Beijing from 2018 to 2023. The dataset was created by Tao Song and measures indicators like noise, illumination, airflow velocity, and HEPA filter integrity. The analysis compares domestic and imported equipment, finding an overall qualified rate of 70.4%.

Use Cases

• Compare performance metrics between domestic and imported laboratory equipment based on the described indicators.
• Analyze the relationship between service life and equipment qualification rates based on the 7-year median service life.
• Identify safety margins for proactive monitoring based on the 'marginally qualified performance' classification.
• Benchmark laboratory equipment against national standards like JG 170-2005 and YY 0569-2011.

Strengths

• Contains 1,803 performance records from 360 real-world units.
• Covers a 5-year time range from 2018 to 2023.
• Evaluates performance against three specific national standards.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, requiring manual inspection after download.
• Data is geographically limited to Beijing, China.
• The dataset is very small at 13.9 KB, indicating limited scope.
