Containment Level 3 Facility
The Containment Level 3 suite provides a facility to work with ACDP Category 3 organisms.
The Containment Level 3 suite contains four individual laboratories. We have available for use: two class I and two class II microbiological safety cabinets, a CO2 incubator for tissue culture and other equipment essential for working with microorganisms and their safe storage.
Work is permitted between the hours of 8am-6pm, Monday-Friday.
Anyone who wishes to work in the facility must discuss their plans with the management team at the earliest possible opportunity. Unless documents are already in place, it is necessary to submit an HBA2 form and Code of Practice for the organisms you wish to work with. These documents must be discussed and approved at the Containment Level 3 users group meeting (three per year) before work in the suite can commence.
If you would like to use the facility please contact C3facilty@le.ac.uk
