Microbiological Safety Cabinets (MBSCs) are extensively used in containment applications throughout industries such as pharmaceutical, healthcare, nuclear, and laboratory sciences.

Legislative requirements together with the European Biotechnology Standards and National Sanitisation Foundation Standards for safety cabinets make it vital that all those responsible for efficient and safe working of containment systems are familiar with both the theory and practice of their operation, performance and testing.

ATI delivers a two-day course on Safety Cabinet Testing, using trainers who are very experienced in this industry, the most current equipment, and the latest best practices to advise on compliance to EN 12469 and NSF 49, and other regulatory guides and standards.

The first day of theory will provide delegates with knowledge on biosafety principals, types and designs of safety cabinets, and the testing required. The morning of the second day is reserved for practical work and gives delegates confidence to set up test equipment and make measurements for the various tests required on safety cabinets. A written exam is given in the afternoon.

Who should attend?
Attendance is advised for anyone in the biosafety and containment industry who has a role in engineering, testing, quality assurance, validation, operations, management, inspections, or anyone responsible for the performance of safety cabinets.

Our courses also prepare delegates for CTCB-I certification. CTCB-I Testing and CTCB-I Technology courses are hosted and endorsed by the Contamination Control Network (CCN). Visit www.theccnetwork.org for more information.
