BSC Decontamination Services

Biological safety cabinets and fume hoods are essential to research, and preventing contamination is crucial to experiment integrity. In case of contamination, Triumvirate Environmental’s experts are the ones to contact. For decontamination, our team uses chlorine dioxide, a validated and approved solution according to NSF/ANSI Standard 49. Our BSC decontamination:

  •  Is fast and safe (completed in under four hours). We can decontaminate six-plus BSCs daily.

  • Relies on chlorine dioxide. As a "true gas," it doesn't cause condensation problems. Chlorine dioxide gas is validated for BSC decontamination by NSF/ANSI Standard 49.

  • Offers an embedded charcoal gas-scrubbing unit. This allows technicians to remove chlorine dioxide without external venting, leaving no hazardous waste.

  •  Removes all internal and accessible components. This includes any debris, and we wipe the unit with a disinfectant solution.

  • Exceeds what other providers offer. Besides thorough decontamination, our specialists also will identify and understand the materials inside the BSC to verify the method's efficacy.
