1. A biosafety cabinet comprising:
one or more output devices for providing information to a user of the biosafety cabinet regarding setup of experimental protocols within the biosafety cabinet, the experimental protocols being stored in an electronic lab notebook associated with the experimental protocol;
one or more input devices for providing input data from the user regarding setup of the experimental protocol, the input data to be stored in the electronic lab notebook associated with the experimental protocol;
a video output device for outputting videos and still images to be displayed on a surface of the biosafety cabinet;
an audio output device for outputting audio;
a camera for capturing videos or still images;
one or more scanners; and
an audio input device for capturing audio;
wherein at least one scanner tracks objects inserted into and extracted from the biosafety cabinet.
 
9. A biosafety cabinet comprising:
one or more output devices for providing information to a user of the biosafety cabinet regarding setup of experimental protocols within the biosafety cabinet, the experimental protocols being stored in an electronic lab notebook associated with the experimental protocol;
one or more input devices for providing input data from the user regarding setup of the experimental protocol, the input data to be stored in the electronic lab notebook associated with the experimental protocol;
a video output device for outputting videos and still images to be displayed on a surface of the biosafety cabinet;
an audio output device for outputting audio;
a camera for capturing videos or still images;
one or more scanners;
an audio input device for capturing audio;
a processor;
a network connection to a server comprising electronic lab book logic and an experimental protocol data storage containing one or more electronic lab books, each electronic lab book defining an experimental protocol including a list of materials and steps required to set-up the experimental protocol; and
software, for execution on the processor, the software configured to interface, via the network connection, with the electronic lab book logic to provide the functions of:
receiving video, including still images, from the electronic lab book logic and displaying the video on the surface of the biosafety cabinet;
receiving audio from the electronic lab book logic and playing the audio via the audio output device; and
receiving commands from the user and sending the commands to the electronic lab book logic.
