Cabinet selection should be determined by assessing the risk to personnel, product, and the environment. Contact Robert Golden, Biosafety Officer, at 49-41496 or rwgolden@purdue.edu for assistance in determining the proper type of cabinet and proper location in the laboratory.

All BSCs and LFCBs should be certified:

• After installation and before being used,
• Whenever moved to a new location, and
• At least annually.

Before a BSC is relocated, a risk assessment must be done by the Biosafety Officer to determine the need for decontamination. Contact Robert Golden, Biosafety Officer, at 4-1496 or Rachael DeRudder @ 4-7968 to arrange for decontamination.
