How Biosafety Cabinets can help further advance research on Monkeypox
Biosafety Cabinets represent safety procedures and technology in biomedical laboratories to prevent unintentional exposure to virulent viruses, pathogens, contaminants or their accidental release. Similar to this, PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction), is a typical laboratory technique for quickly amplifying billions of copies of a specific DNA segment for additional research and experiments. In the PCR method,…

Combating Covid-19 with Biosafety Cabinets
A Microbiological Safety Cabinet (BSC), is an enclosed, ventilated laboratory environment used for working safely with biological samples that are contaminated with (or potentially contaminated with) infectious agents, toxins, or cultures. Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and World Health Organization (WHO) have issued guidelines on safe handling of COVID-19 samples and among them,…
