Biological Safety Cabinets: A Web-Based Training Program
This comprehensive course will instruct researchers how to protect themselves and their products from contamination by learning how BSCs work and how to use them effectively. Facility personnel will learn about different types of ventilation equipment and their exhaust and maintenance requirements.
CD-ROM Cost $295 — Networkable CD-ROM cost $695 ($75 discount if purchased with a class)
This interactive, web-based course contains the following five modules:
- "Overview of Laboratory Ventilation Equipment" - differentiates between chemical fume hoods, clean benches, isolators, and BSCs.
- "How BSCs Work" - an animated clip illustrates particle capture mechanisms, and a video clip demonstrates airflow.
- "Types of BSCs" - contains animated airflow diagrams for each type of BSC.
- "Using BSCs" - explains proper preparation, work techniques, and clean-up procedures. Video clips illustrate important points.
- "Testing of BSCs" - microbiological tests are demonstrated in a video clip, and physical tests are explained through photos.

Safe Use of Chemical Fume Hoods
Safe Use of Chemical Fume Hoods defines what a fume hood is and how to use it. Join Professor Fumér in this unique presentation as he points out the do's and don'ts of working in a chemical fume hood safely. Key concepts are illustrated through dramatic smoke demonstrations and schematic diagrams.
Length: 17 minutes Cost $245 ($75 discount if purchased with a class)
You will learn:
- How fume hoods function
- To describe fume hood components
- How user actions impact airflow patterns
- How the environment affects fume hood functions
- The purpose of fume hood safety
Safe Use of Biological Safety Cabinets
Safe Use of Biological Safety Cabinets is a dramatization of a typical lab where contaminated cultures have just been discovered. The researchers team up to find the source of the contamination, scrutinizing their procedures for working in Biological Safety Cabinets.
Length: 22 minutes Cost $165 ($75 discount if purchased with a class)
You will learn:
- How biological safety cabinets function
- The rules and guidelines for work preparation, cabinet procedures and cleanup operations
- How to improve their techniques to avoid contaminating experiments and to maximize their own safety
