If material is stored inside the BSC (for instance micropipettes), they must be disinfected when you switch on the BSC +- Be aware that UV-lights act only on surfaces exposed to them, the surfaces in the shadow are not disinfected (ex: below a box, behind a pipette,...). Due to their strong limitation, UV do not replace a chemical disinfection that is still necessary when UV are used. Because of this, we do not recommend to use UV lights as they have strong limitations and give a false sense of safety +- **The BSC must be decontaminated before and after each use**. The interior surfaces should be wiped with an appropriate disinfectant that would kill any microorganisms that could be found in the cabinet. 70% ethanol is not effective against yeast and fungi, you should use Bacillol 30 foam or tissues: +<div align="center"> +<img src="img/img3.png" width="250"> +</div> +Corrosive chemicals such as bleach should be avoided (bleach corrodes stainless steel), but if used, should be followed with a wipe down of sterile water or 70% ethanol.
