New laboratory building CA with BSL-3

Project Overview

Agroscope is the federal competence center for agricultural research.

AGROSCOPE makes a significant contribution to a sustainable agriculture and food industry as well as an intact environment and thus contributes to improving the quality of life. Agroscope research is carried out along the entire value chain of the agricultural and food industry. The goals are:

• A competitive and multifunctional agriculture
• High-quality food for a healthy diet
• An intact environment

Project Approach

Exyte* worked with Savida to design and realize analytical laboratories for:

• Biological, biochemical, and chemical working methods
• Biosafety levels 2 and 3 (open handling of organisms in a pilot plant)
• Work with radioactive substances type C

Key Result

The state-of-the-art laboratory equipment and all laboratory specific media installations were designed by Exyte to serve the user’s needs. Exyte was also entrusted with preparing the overall specifications for the biosafety level 3 work area. One focus was to create a safe working environment for research teams where discoveries can be made and research work can proceed unhindered.

*This work was completed by Pharmaplan, now part of Exyte.
