The CT instrument lab is a clean instrument lab with gas chromatography and mass spectrometry instruments. This operates under BSL-3 protocol with HEPA & carbon filtered exhaust air. The potential for explosions require blast relief panels
with damage limiting construction around the chemical extraction Lab.
