Use of antimicrobial gel or wipe
When working with biological materials (e.g., infectious agents, human blood or materials, human cell lines, recombinant DNA molecules), a sink for handwashing should be present. When no sink is available, antimicrobial gel or wipe must be used after work followed by immediate handwashing in a sink.

Use of Bunsen burner with pilot light
When working in a BSC with a valid certification, use of a Bunsen burner is not necessary and thus for the safety reason, is not recommended. However, if it is used, only Touch-O-Matic Bunsen burner with a pilot light (Fisher Cat. No. 03-975) is allowed in the BSC and a full flame must never be left unattended even for a brief period of time.
Protection of vacuum line
When working with biological materials, protection of a vacuum line is required between the trap bottle and the vacuum nozzle. This can be achieved by inserting a 0.22 mm filter.
