DESCRIPTION
A chemical fume hood is the main piece of laboratory
equipment that protects laboratory staff working with
hazardous chemicals. When properly used, fume hoods
protect staff from inhaling chemical gases, vapors, and
aerosols. They serve as a physical barrier between staff
and the hazardous materials inside the hood, and provide
some splash protection.
This basic-level eLearning course provides an essential
understanding of the major components of a chemical
fume hood and proper practices for its safe and effective
operation. Topics covered include the major components
and types of fume hoods and their monitors, maintaining
proper airflow, daily use protocols and good fume hood

course, and identifying infectious agents. This basic
Molecular Biology course series will introduce the
scientific background for molecular diagnosis, the
principles of laboratory settings, and common methods.
This basic-level eLearning course, Module 2, provides
information on general laboratory practices. Topics
covered include biosafety practices, laboratory area flow,
and practices to minimize contamination.
OBJECTIVES
AUDIENCE
This online course is designed for public health and clinical
laboratory staff, and persons interested in molecular
biology laboratory practice.
SPECIAL NEEDS
Course content is closed captioned, where applicable, and
optimized for a screen reader.
