Experiments with biological select agents such as bacteria, viruses, or toxins frequently require Biosafety Level (BSL) 3 or 4 environments. Because the use of shared instrumentation outside of BSL 3 or 4 containment is a more cost-effective option for researchers working with biological select agents, a process for the inactivation of infectious material is necessary for the safe transfer of samples and reagents to lower biosafety levels.

To achieve this goal, Bio-Techne scientists tested the hypothesis that R&D Systems^® Luminex^® Assays are compatible with standard fixation protocols.
