Why Implement Biosafety Cabinet Testing?
Employee Safety
Employee safety is important in any work environment, even more so in biopharmaceutical laboratory testing and research. Biosafety cabinets protect the personnel in the lab from harmful substances and chemicals. With regular testing, the cabinets will maintain the needed airflow patterns and prevent hazardous materials from escapining to protect the health of lab workers.
Maintain Product Quality
Biosafety cabinets also play an important role in maintaining integrity of the samples, products, and materials that are handled. With trained technicians doing proper cabinet testing, the cabinet's airflow and filtration will work as needed and required. which will minimize cross-contamination and preserve validity of the experiments.
Regulatory Compliance
Compliance standards set forth by organizations like the FDA, OSHA, CDC, and NSF require regular testing of biosafety cabinets to protect workers and make sure organizations are implementing the best techniques of the equipment to protect employees. Maintaining compliance prevents potential penalties and fines from these federal organizations.
Benefits of Biosafety Cabinet Testing for Companies
Improved Laboratory Productivity
Biosafety cabinets have features such as HELPA filtration and laminar airflow which protect laboratory workers and the laboratory itself from harmful substances by preventing contamination ebtween samples and containing hazardous gases. Because of this, scientists and workers are able to work with greater confidence as they can focus on experiments without worrying about safety risks and contamination. This leads to increased productivity and accurate outcomes, which continues the work for breakthrough discoveries.
Lifespan of the Equipment
Laboratory equipment isn't cheap! The lifespan of the equipment in the lab depends on factors that include quality of construction frequency of use, and maintaining protocols. With proper care, testing, and regular maintenance, biosafety cabinets can have a lifespan of several years to provide reliable protection for laboratory personnel and protection of the samples in testing.
Minimize Health Risks
When your biosafety cabinet isn't working properly, it can expose laboratory workers and scientists to various safety hazards such as allergens, toxit substances or even infectious agents. With regular testing, the filtration systems will work properly which will minimize the risk of exposure and protect the health of your workers.
