    I’m a lab planner, and sometimes getting researchers to describe what sort of containment device they need for a given process is like pulling teeth.

    • Chemical fume hood? That’s a hood.
    • Class II, Type B2 BSC? Also a hood.
    • Class II, Type A2 BSC? Believe it not, hood.
    • Laminar flow bench? Yep, that’s a hood too.
    • PCR dead air box? Somehow also a hood.

    Like, surely you’re not doing BSL-2 work in a LAF? Please tell me you’re not doing that.
