Which level of biosafe lab do you need?

13 Jan 2023

Understanding the principles of biosafety is key to minimizing the chance of laboratory-associated infections and contamination of the environment. Discover which risk assessments you might be expected to conduct ahead of any given project, either in setting up, upgrading or running a biosafe lab. Plus, examine the safety aspects of a selection of disease organisms, and explore best laboratory practices at different biosafety levels.
