BSL3/2 Testing Services

We have the expertise and experience to help get you the testing you need.

3 Alpha Labs experts can help design a (Biosafety Level 3) BSL3 chamber test protocol to simulate a “real world” application. With hundreds of successful device efficacy tests against surface and aerosol pathogens including SARS-CoV-2, we have the expertise and experience to help get you the testing you need. We look forward to helping you through the process of understanding the multiple testing options and evaluating the best option for your device and goals.

Biosafety level 3 (BSL-3)

Biosafety level 3 (BSL-3) is applicable to laboratories where work is performed with pathogens that may cause serious or potentially lethal disease through inhalation, to the personnel, and may contaminate the environment. It requires that laboratory personnel receive specific training in handling pathogenic and potentially lethal agents and be supervised by scientists competent in handling infectious agents and associated procedures. All work is performed in contained environments using appropriate engineering controls. Access to a BSL-3 laboratory is restricted and always controlled.

Biosafety level 2 (BSL-2)

Biosafety level 2 (BSL-2) laboratory involves working with agents that pose moderate hazards to personnel and the environment. Basic laboratory with restricted access and containment during certain processes is required. Use of autoclaves and biological safety cabinets is desired. Use of good laboratory practices, safe waste disposal measures, and aseptic techniques are mandatory. Usually non-respiratory, non-lethal agents are handled in BSL-2 laboratory. Access to a BSL-2 lab is restricted. Outside personnel are often restricted from entering when work is being conducted.
