Microbiological safety equipment.

Abstract : A program for biological safety in the animal laboratory must consist of the firm establishment of clearly stated principles, the education of all personnel in safety, the immunization of personnel where applicable and the use of properly designed safety equipment. Many laboratory infections are preventable by the judicious use of such specially designed equipment. This is exemplified by the procedures and equipment, described in this paper, which have been proven by actual practice over many years of tests with highly communicable disease agents.
