Biosafety Laboratories

BSL Services

Microbiological labs deal with harmful and infectious agents. Facilities dealing with hazardous pathogens must take extreme precautions to prevent infection of microbiologists and lab technicians. Adequate precautions are also necessary to limit the contamination of the work environment and the community at large.

Kewaunee offers a complete range of microbiological laboratory services ranging from risk assessment to quarantine and isolation wards.

BSL 1 Labs: BSL-1 labs are used to study infectious agents or toxins not known to consistently cause disease in healthy adult humans or animals.

BSL 2 Labs: BSL-2 laboratories are used to study moderate-risk infectious agents or toxins that pose a moderate danger if accidentally inhaled, swallowed, or exposed to the skin.

BSL 3 Labs: BSL-3 laboratories are used to study infectious agents or toxins that may be transmitted through the air and cause potentially lethal infections.

BSL 4 Labs: BSL-4 laboratories are used to study infectious agents or toxins that pose a high risk of aerosol-transmitted laboratory infections and life-threatening disease for which no vaccines or therapies are available.
