3D Biosafety Simulation
world’s rarest and most high-tech laboratories
Play Simulation
Step inside a Biosafety Level III laboratory to learn how scientists work in this unique, high-security environment. In this simulation, you’ll investigate a possible bioterrorism attack — handling potentially dangerous materials and learning how BSL-3 laboratories are carefully constructed to contain deadly pathogens such as anthrax and coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2).
Play the simulation from a laptop/desktop on Chrome or Firefox
In Labster’s Biosafety simulation, you are presented with a hypothetical case where you will need to identify a potential bioterrorism agent that is classed as a hazard group three microorganism.
You’ll learn:
- How scientists handle potentially life-threatening microorganisms in a BSL-3 lab
- What makes a BSL-3 lab so unique; from special safety equipment and PPE to stringent safety protocols for workers
- How a BSL-3 is constructed, including air flow and pressure control
- How fumigation works within a microbiological safety cabinet
