Biosafety Cabinet

Leading the fight against tuberculosis through cutting-edge research and global collaboration.

Biosafety Cabinet (BSC)

Maintenance According to EN 12469 Standard

Biosafety Cabinets (BSCs) are critical components of laboratory safety, providing protection for personnel, the environment, and test samples from biohazardous aerosols.

This is particularly important in TB diagnostic laboratories, where proper containment prevents the spread of infectious agents. Regular maintenance and certification of BSCs according to EN 12469, NSF 49 or other comparable standards are essential for ensuring safety, efficiency, and compliance with international biosafety regulations.

Approach:

Routine Preventive Maintenance, Performance Testing and Certification

Regular inspections, and airflow monitoring to prevent performance degradation.
Certification of BSCs according to EN 12469 and WHO biosafety guidelines, including execution of HEPA filter integrity tests, smoke pattern tests, and airflow calibration.

Corrective Maintenance and Repairs

Rapid diagnostics and troubleshooting of faulty BSCs to minimize downtime.
Replacement of HEPA filters, UV lamps, motors, and airflow sensors.

User Training and Capacity Building

On-site training for laboratory personnel on proper BSC usage, cleaning, and minor troubleshooting.
Development of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for laboratory staff.

Compliance Audits and Risk Assessments

Laboratory assessments to ensure correct BSC placement, ventilation, and airflow management.
Risk mitigation strategies for improved laboratory biosafety compliance.
