Till now Assam does not possess a secure facility in the form of a high containment laboratory, which would entail that the samples must be sent outside.

Additionally, the UltimaPro can be equipped with several features to optimize the containment of toxic products: the product feed and discharge valve can be equipped with Buck high containment split butterfly valves and, on request, even with isolator boxes.

It will also help develop and implement programs for high containment laboratories and organizations involved in life science research and development.

In January 2005 the Highways Agency introduced an initiative to install high containment concrete barriers on all of England's motorways.

The flagship Centre of Excellence for Containment Technology's large new premises in Elland, West Yorkshire, will provide a global resource for the Hosokawa Micron Group for the development of Stott high containment and filling/weighing technology and Vitalair clean air and downflow booth technology, alongside the development of complete integrated process solutions.

Powder Systems Ltd (PSL) formed in 1989 and based in Speke is a leading supplier of high containment systems used by the world's major pharmaceutical manufacturers.

The TNPRC is the only NPRC with an NIH-funded high containment Regional Biosafety Laboratory focused on research with emerging infectious disease and biodefense agents.

We agree with the recommendations of the council - it must be absolutely clear who is accountable for the overall security and safety of sites where high containment facilities are shared.
