High-Containment Laboratories

High-Containment Laboratories, also known as biosafety level 3 or 4 labs, are specialized facilities designed to safely study dangerous pathogens like viruses and bacteria that could cause serious or deadly diseases. They use advanced safety measures such as sealed environments, specialized ventilation systems, and protective gear to prevent the release of harmful agents into the environment and protect researchers. These labs are critical for developing vaccines, studying disease transmission, and performing research that helps improve public health while maintaining strict safety standards.
