Building your Aerobiology Laboratory

Studying airborne pathogens without losing containment

We understand the unique challenges that come with an aerobiology laboratory

Airborne pathogens don’t stay where you put them, which is exactly the problem aerobiology research has to solve. Germfree builds Class 3 biosafety cabinet systems around aerosol generators, designed and validated for safety and research productivity, and we work directly with major aerosol generator manufacturers to modify our equipment platforms to the specifications a given study needs. Rapid Transfer Port equipped transfer carts keep material moving in and out without breaking containment, protecting personnel and animal welfare while keeping the work itself moving.

Modular

Modular Biocontainment Laboratories for Disease Surveillance and Biosecurity

Germfree manufactures Modular Biocontainment Laboratories for aerobiology and disease surveillance work: rapidly deployable, BSL-2, 3 or 4 compliant labs built for on-site diagnostics and containment. Off-site construction of versatile, multi-module structures expedites project timelines while adhering to BSL-2 to BSL-4 biocontainment standards.

Modular Biocontainment Laboratories are an off-site built, all-in-one platform that can be built as a freestanding facility or easily integrate with existing laboratories. Germfree biocontainment laboratories include all HVAC/MEP requirements tailored to your process and equipment. Germfree modular laboratories have been in use for decades worldwide, performing at biocontainment levels BSL-2, BSL-3 up to BSL-4.

Equipment

Equip Your Lab: Germfree's Biosafety Solutions

Six decades of building primary engineering controls taught Germfree one thing above all: a biosafety cabinet only earns its keep if it survives years of harsh chemical bio-decontamination without breaking down. That’s the standard behind our Class II and Class III BSCs, Containment Isolators, PCR Workstations, Material Pass-Throughs, and Glovebox Isolators, all built from 100% stainless steel and engineered for a long service life in demanding lab environments.
