Certification of Biological Safety Cabinets and Laminar Flow Clean Benches

Biological safety cabinets and laminar flow clean benches are certified on an annual basis by an outside vendor contracted by the Department of Environmental Health & Safety. Cabinets should also be certified upon installation at the University. The certification is necessary to verify proper function of the cabinets. Recertification is necessary if a cabinet is moved to a new location. Please notify Krista Murray as soon as possible of any plans to move biological safety cabinets or laminar flow clean benches, thereby allowing the Department of Environmental Health & Safety to address any special hazards or concerns.

The Department of Environmental Health & Safety must have a listing for all biological safety cabinets and laminar flow clean benches for the annual certification.

Questions regarding the certification of biological safety cabinets and laminar flow clean benches may be addressed to Krista Murray or call 831-1433.
