When considering the material for BSL-3 supply air ducts, the primary objective of biosafety design is to ensure a continuous duct path from the room’s supply diffusers and exhaust outlets (including biological safety cabinets [BSCs]) to ideally an airtight valve in the supply and exhaust ductwork, respectively. This sealed duct section not only maintains the […]

Biosafety Level 3 (BSL-3) incidents are rare, yet their repercussions are monumental. Operating at BSL-3 demands meticulous protocols and unwavering risk mitigation. While rare, any lapses can have far-reaching and potentially devastating consequences. In this article, we explore the significance of BSL-3 certification. Even though it may not be mandatory in your country, it proves to […]

At the beginning of the design process, there are many decisions that must be made regarding equipment, sinks, showers, biological safety cabinets (BSCs), and other primary barrier equipment, the configuration of the HVAC system, and contingencies based upon the facility design elements required by the agents that will be worked with or studied. Sustainability, maintainability, […]
