Please select the correct statement(s)(Required) Ultraviolet light is a powerful tool that is highly effective for reducing all microbial pathogens that were missed by routine Biological Safety Cabinets (BSCs decontamination procedures. Biological Safety Cabinets (BSCs) are essential tools in the microbiology cabinet that protect only the specimens that are being processed within the BSC but not necessarily the operator working on the specimens. Because specimens can be a source of contamination for Biological Safety Cabinets (BSCs), the BSC should routinely be cleaned especially after an accidental spill, and at the end of the work period Products containing bleach must not be used in decontamination of Biological Safety Cabinets (BSCs) because they will cause irreparable damage.
