Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a biocontainment laboratory?
A biocontainment laboratory is a facility engineered to protect personnel, materials, and the surrounding environment while working with biological agents. Germfree manufactures biocontainment laboratories and equipment in both mobile and modular formats, built to meet biosafety levels from BSL-2 through BSL-4.
- What is the difference between a mobile and modular biocontainment laboratory?
A mobile biocontainment laboratory is a vehicle-based platform, available as a sprinter van, cargo trailer, or semi-trailer, built for rapid deployment and BSL-2 or BSL-3 compliant field response. A modular biocontainment laboratory is an off-site built, all-in-one structure that can stand alone or integrate with existing labs, supporting BSL-2 through BSL-4 and versatile multi-module or multi-story configurations.
- What biosafety levels does Germfree support?
Germfree’s mobile and modular biocontainment facilities and equipment support BSL-2, ABSL-2+, BSL-3, ABSL-3+, and BSL-4 biocontainment levels.
- What compliance standards do Germfree’s biocontainment facilities meet?
Germfree’s biocontainment facilities and equipment are compliant by design to CDC-NIH BMBL, WHO, and regional standards including CA, EU, GB, AU/NZ, and SG, with FAT (factory acceptance testing), SAT (site acceptance testing), and biosafety certification included.
- What equipment is included with a Germfree biocontainment facility?
Germfree’s biocontainment equipment line includes Class 2 and Class 3 biosafety cabinets, containment isolators, PCR workstations, material pass-throughs, glovebox isolators, sterilizers, and biodecontamination systems, all built from 100% stainless steel to withstand harsh chemical decontamination cycles.
When your mission calls for something custom, we deliver.
Some environments can’t take a catalog answer: the one-of-a-kind containment lab, the facility that has to survive shipment by military aircraft, the compounding pharmacy that has to stand up overnight. Tell us the constraints, we’ll build around them.
