Does ABI examine biohazardous specimens?

The Electron Microscopy Laboratory at Advanced Biotechnologies Inc was designed for work with biohazardous specimens. Fresh or frozen Biosafety Level-3 specimens can be shipped to the laboratory where they are prepared following written protocols.

Biohazardous specimens must be packaged and shipped according to current shipping regulations.

ABI does not handle or process the following specimens:

• Biosafety Level-4 specimens
• Microbes and toxins on the Select Agents and Toxins Registry
• Any other high-risk airborne agents

If you are unsure whether your specimen falls into one of these categories, please contact ABI to speak with a member of our technical support staff.
