A*STAR High Containment (BSL-3) Facility

Established in December 2021, the A*STAR High Containment (BSL-3) Facility is a containment lab designed to facilitate work on Risk Group 3 or BATA First Schedule microorganisms that pose an increased risk of aerosols spread to the individual. Aligned to World Health Organisation (WHO) guidelines, our High Containment Facility can host up to six research teams with a maximum of three researchers per containment in the same booking period.
Our High Containment Facility is open to research collaborations and can provide services such as validation of inactivation methods, advanced training in microbiological methods and good laboratory practices, consultation in biosafety and SOP development to the research ecosystem.
