BIOS242, Week 7-OL
Name:
Lab 7: Biosafety
Learning Outcomes
· Explain how a biosafety containment level III laboratory is constructed (e.g. air flow and pressure control).
· Explain the basic safety rules of a biosafety containment level III laboratory (e.g. use of safety equipment).
· Handle microorganisms in a biosafety containment level III laboratory.
· Explain the concept of fumigation and how this is executed within a microbiological safety cabinet.
Introduction: Experiment with biosafety virtual simulation lab
In the Biosafety simulation, you will be introduced to the concept of laboratory containment, which is a very special type of laboratory required to work with hazardous pathogens.
Please note that this simulation has been developed broadly around UK regulations. Some protocols may differ depending on the specific regulations.
Questions:
1. Purpose: Please describe in complete sentences and in your own words, the purpose of this experiment.
2. What are the different biosafety levels?
3. What practices would you recommend to be used in BSL 1 and how do these differ from BSL 2?
4. In this simulation what organism was discussed? Which biosafety level is this pathogen handled in? Why?
5. What does biosafety level 4 mean? What type of pathogens can only be handled in these labs?
6. Reflection: Write 5 sentences on what you learned from this simulation. What did you like and what was something that you would prefer not be a part of this simulation?
