Course Description
To work in a clean room it is necessary to have the training of basic and most important equipment of laboratory. For working with every type of gene, cells & infectious microorganisms you should have complete training of dealing with Biological safety cabinets. Biological safety cabinets (BSCs) are the primary means of containment used in laboratories worldwide for the safe handling of sensitive material. They provide protection to the laboratory worker and the surrounding environment.
To ensure the correct functioning of BSCs, they need to be properly maintained beyond the daily care routines of the laboratory. This course mainly emphasizes on how to properly use and handle your material while working in BSCs because BSCs are probably one of the least understood pieces of laboratory equipment yet most important while working with sensitive material. This course will help both clinical & diagnostics laboratory working individuals.
