Containment ready modular BSL laboratories
Modular BSL Laboratories
Install it freestanding, or connect it into a lab you already run. Either way, our modular BSL laboratories and biocontainment facilities arrive built off-site as a complete platform, with the HVAC and MEP your process and equipment need already designed in. Germfree modular laboratories have been running biocontainment work worldwide for decades, at BSL-2, BSL-3, and up to BSL-4.
Product highlights
Biocontainment
BSL-2, BSL2+, BSL-3. BSL3+, BSL-4
Built to contain the most hazardous agents in the world
Biocontainment work demands a level of process control, reliability, cleanability, and containment most facilities never have to meet. Decades of facility engineering experience shape how we design for it: niche process and personnel flows, and modular BSL laboratories built with entry rooms, gowning rooms and storage, personnel air locks (PALs), material air locks (MALs), shared corridors, restrooms, and mechanical rooms.
- Process driven HVAC design
- Serviced & Maintained by Germfree
- Relocatable
- Cleaning agent & VHP compatible finishes
- Backup power for all critical facility equipment
- Seamless, Leak-Free Arcoplast® Walls

Single Module BSL-3 Laboratory
Single Module BSL-3 Laboratory
The room classification flow of this facility is an entryroom, anteroom with sink and gowning bench leading to the main BSL-3 100% exhaust laboratory suite.
All modular facilities contain an integrated and mechanical space. In some regions an external HVAC chiller (pictured) is needed for BSL-3.

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.

The Germfree difference
Factory Acceptance, Site Acceptance & Quality Control
Facilities are factory acceptance tested before shipment and site acceptance tested onsite to support CQV efforts towards commissioning of the facility.
Project Management
We manage all complexities associated with your project: URS Development, Operational Flow Design, Basis of Design, Site Infrastructure Audits, Engineering, Commissioning, Qualification, Installation, Equipment Sourcing and more.
Support & Maintenance
Germfree’s service team supports facilities 24/7, providing preventative monitoring, diagnostics and maintenance worldwide.
Flexible, Adaptable, Cost Saving Construction Methods
Our Modules do not require a shell building, they can be relocated by our service team, and our robust single HVAC system allows the option to switch between positive or negative pressure in some instances.
