Class II biological safety chambers are ideal laminar flow chambers to protect the operator, the product and the environment. The cabin operates with negative pressure, preventing the release of contaminated air into the environment. Designed to offer total protection, the air circulating inside the chamber is filtered by a HEPA filter (99.999% efficiency), and the fresh air is also filtered through another HEPA filter. They also have an air speed compensation system before the resistance increases by the filter and alarms in case of electrical supply failures. These cameras are used in different areas of research, such as microbiology, virology and genetics and in the various service laboratories, where moderate biological risk samples are handled.
ELISA readers correspond to specific spectrophotometers for reading microplates capable of measuring and comparing the amount of light absorbed, transmitted or reflected by a given sample. Essential in this technique, the advantage of this equipment is the amount of samples that allow reading to obtain the result in a short time. Depending on the brand and model, they vary between 1 and 12 reading channels.
Detection test kit of 3 species of Chlamydophila spp. (C.felis, C. psittaci, and C. abortus) by using qPCR. Chlamydia felis is an intracellular Gram-negative bacterium endemic among house cats. Chlamydophila psittaci is a lethal intracellular bacterial species that may cause endemic avian chlamydiosis, epizootic outbreaks in mammals, and respiratory psittacosis in humans. C. psittaci is transmitted by inhalation, contact, or ingestion among birds and mammals. Endemic throughout the world, C. abortus is the most common cause of infectious abortion in small ruminants (sheep and goats). It also causes abortion in cattle and pigs and represents a significant zoonotic risk to pregnant women.
