Safety Guidance
Electronic Biosafety Manual (eMANUAL)
This electronic manual consists of different modules intended to serve as a quick and interactive reference on biological safety matters.
Biotoxin Safety Guide
The Biotoxin Safety Guide was created with the intent of providing general guidance on the use of biological toxins. It is the PIs responsibility to train laboratory personnel on the individual agents and on the specific research techniques.
Safety Fact Sheets
