A biosafety laboratory is a scientific institution that conducts experiments and research on pathogenic microorganisms.
Such institutions are dedicated to studying pathogenic factors, developing therapeutic drugs, and providing protection and security for human life and safety.
Biosafety laboratories are divided into four levels according to the different biological hazard levels of the research objects. Level 1 laboratories have the lowest requirements for biosafety isolation, while level 4 has the highest.
Level 1 laboratories are used to study and process pathogens that pose little risk to healthy adults, such as chickenpox. People working in level 1 laboratories only need to wear gloves and face protection. Some test benches are open, and some laboratories are not even isolated from the public.
Level II laboratories are used to study and process pathogens that only cause mild diseases to humans, and there are usually methods of prevention and treatment, such as measles. Level II laboratories are isolated from the public and only laboratory personnel can enter and exit.
