Biological Safety Cabinets (BSCs)
Biosafety Cabinets are a type of biocontainment equipment used to provide personnel, environmental, and product protection. Biosafety Cabinets at MSM are certified annually by a third-party company (e.g., ENV Services, Equitech). If a BSC has been moved to another lab, the BSC will need to be recertified. Please contact EHRS regarding BSCs.
