This webinar will open with a review of biosafety basics–common biohazardous agents and biosafety protection levels. Then the focus will shift to the major types of biosafety cabinets, their design differences, and uses.

RNA sequencing could help predict future outbreaks

Lab Manager's guide to purchasing a biological safety cabinet

Abstract: A new Type of Class II BSC has emerged that will simplify the selection process and provide true flexibility in modern laboratories needing both chemical and biological protection. Along with 3rd party validation in biological challenges by NSF International®, the Purifier Axiom Class II BSC was put under
ASHRAE 110 containment testing for chemical hazards to verify its ability to handle chemical hazards as well as a fume hood.

A new film from the University of Cambridge looks at how mice are helping the fight against cancer and the facilities in which they are housed, and explores issues of animal welfare and the search for replacements

While a May 20 ruling by a Manhattan Supreme Court Justice appeared to grant legal personhood to two research chimpanzees from Stony Brook University, the Nonhuman Rights Project later clarified that the judge will hear arguments on whether or not the chimps will remain at the university and whether or not they could be considered "persons" in the eyes of the law, but has not  yet made a final decision granting them legal personhood.

When working with a biological safety cabinet (BSC), safety comes first. Nonetheless, it’s easy to make mistakes that can compromise a BSC’s performance.

A recently-released report by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s advisory committee on safety underlined a flawed understanding of safety and poor leadership as key reasons for safety lapses at CDC laboratories.

When bad weather strikes or illness invades, zoos and aquariums are among the most vulnerable facilities affected.

The Animal Legal Defense Fund asks court to compel university to share public records on controversial, taxpayer-funded primate studies.

Any researcher in the United States who is dependent on government funding knows first-hand the devastation that the sequestration wrought. Some have found ways, temporarily, to do more with less money, while others have had to pack up their research tents for good.

An investigation by Princeton University has found no evidence to support an animal rights group's allegations last month that an animal was mistreated at the university.
