Analytical Equipment for Advanced Biotechnology Project (Biosafety Level2 Infrastructure)

生物质正在成为化学工业的未来。生物基产品正在重新定义工业和消费产品，通过整合可再生的生物原材料来创新一系列产品，包括生物塑料、表面活性剂、生物润滑剂、化妆品、酶和从非食品类生物质和农作物以及废物流中生产的药品。基于认可萨尼亚-兰伯顿天然适合工业生物技术和生物加工领域持续发展的强大社区方向，“萨尼亚-兰伯顿生物混合和化学集群”成立于2004年，旨在合并和加强碳氢化合物和生物基础经济的优势。兰布顿学院建立了生物工业过程研究中心(BPRC)，以满足萨尼亚-兰布顿生物混合和化学集群的研究和开发需求。目前，兰布顿学院正在建设生物安全二级实验室，作为其BPRC设施的一部分。根据加拿大生物安全标准(2015)作为加拿大处理或储存人类和陆地动物病原体和毒素的统一国家标准，生物安全二级实验室将需要摇床培养箱和专门用于该设施的微生物安全柜。此外，我们还为分析实验室配备了一种qPCR和便携式CO2&O2分析仪，旨在填补我们的分析空白。

Biomass is becoming the future of chemical industries. Bio-based products are redefining industrial and consumer products by integrating renewable, biological raw materials to innovate a wide range of products including bio-plastics, surfactants, bio-lubricants, cosmetics, enzymes and pharmaceuticals produced from non-food biomass and crops as well as waste streams. Based on strong community direction that recognizes Sarnia-Lambton's natural fit for ongoing developments in the fields of industrial biotechnology and bioprocessing, the "Sarnia-Lambton Bio-Hybrid and Chemistry Cluster" was established in 2004 to merge and build on the strengths of the hydrocarbon-based and bio-based economies. Lambton College established the Bio-industrial Process Research Centre (BPRC) to fill the research and development need derived from the Sarnia-Lambton Bio-Hybrid and Chemistry Cluster. Currently, Lambton College is under the construction of the Biosafety Level 2 Laboratory, as part of its BPRC facilities. Following the Canadian Biosafety Standard (2015) as a harmonized national standard for the handling or storing of human and terrestrial animal pathogens and toxins in Canada, the Biosafety Level 2 laboratory will need shaker incubator and a microbial safety cabinet dedicated to that facility exclusively. As well, a qPCR and portable CO2 & O2 analyzer for the analytical laboratory aiming to fill our analytical gaps.
