Application/Technical Details

A biosafety cabinet is used to handle cells, micro organisms, bio agents or samples a. Exhaust air and makeup air is HEPA-filtered, removing harmful bacteria and viruses:

→ Protection of the laboratory worker and the surrounding environment outside from pathogens

→ Maintain the sterility of materials inside e.g. cell cultures

Requirements:

All users must gain permission to work in the Biolabs and access to the “Zellbio-users” network drive by attending the Biosafety instructions (--> Katharina Achazi)
All users must get an introduction to the device by the responsible person (see OpenIRIS)
Booking via OpenIRIS (protocls see here)
DO NOT use solvents or other evaporating hazardous substances or gases inside the biosafety cabinet as they are no fume hoods and the HEPA-filtered air is circulating back in the room
DO NOT work with bacteria or viruses in the cell culture benches → for handling bacteria use only benches in 115.6
Biosafety cabinets must be cleaned once a month with water and soap and wiped afterwards with desinfectant acccotding to the hygiene guide
Biosafety cabinets need to be tested by an authorized service once a year
