About Our Lab

1

  • Does your country use a four-part "Safety Level" rating system for laboratories? (The system might be called in English "Risk Levels", "Bio-Safety Levels", "Containment Levels", "Bio-Security Levels", or some similar name.) If yes, which level is used for the most dangerous organisms?
  • Yes. Level 4 is used for the most dangerous organisms. (True for most countries in Asia, the European Union, and North/South America. This is equivalent to the WHO system.)
  • What is the Safety Level of your lab? (Use the WHO numbering system, in which Level 4 is used for the most dangerous organisms.)
  • Level 1 (low risk, ~= WHO BSL 1)

  • How do you dispose of biological waste? (For example: liquid cell cultures, agar plates, used pipette tips.)
