Turnkey, Containment Ready Modular BSL Laboratories

Modular BSL Laboratories

Modular BSL Laboratories and biocontainment facilities 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.

Biosafety & Biosecurity

Disease Response & Surveillance

Built to contain the most hazardous agents in the world

Biocontainment applications require the highest level of process control, reliability, cleanability, and containment of any industry we work with. Our Modular cleanrooms meet these challenges through a variety of niche process and personnel flow designs paired with decades of facility engineering experience. Our modular BSL laboratories include entry rooms, gowning rooms and storage, personnel air locks (PALs), Material Air Locks (MALs), shared corridors, restrooms, mechanical rooms, and more.
