Containment |
Containment Other |
Containment More Than One |
Blending, sonicating, homogenizing, of electroporation |
|
Performed on lab bench, no containment used; BSC |
|
RG1 microbes are handled on the lab bench. All procedures with RG2 microbes, human materials, or biological toxins are performed in the BSC |
Opening culture plates, ampoules, tubes |
|
Performed on lab bench, no containment used; BSC |
|
RG1 microbes are handled on the lab bench. All activities associated with RG2 microbes, human materials, or biological toxins are handled in the BSC. |
Flaming inoculating needles, slides, or loops |
|
Performed on lab bench, no containment used |
Flaming is only performed with RG1 microbes |
|
Vortexing |
|
BSC; Performed on lab bench, closed containers |
|
Vortexing is only performed with closed containers. |
Pipetting |
|
Performed on lab bench, no containment used; BSC |
|
RG1 microbes are pipetted on the lab bench. All pipetting of RG2 microbes, human materials (cell culture/tissues), or biological toxins are performed in the BSC |
Biological Materials Outside of Containment
If any activity in the “Aerosol Generating Activities” section is performed without containment on the benchtop, it should be addressed in this section. A brief description of the work being done and the agents worked with is sufficient. For instance, “All culturing and plasmid prep of E. coli K12 will be performed outside of containment.”
Flow Cytometry Containment
For work performed at the UW Carbone Cancer Center flow cytometry laboratory, contact the staff to determine what type of containment is appropriate for the materials you are sorting. https://cancer.wisc.edu/research/resources/flow/
