The biosafety level 3 (BSL-3) core contains eight culture rooms dedicated to different research programs, one shared cryopreservation and storage room and a cytometry room for performing sorting on infected cell populations. 

Each of the rooms is equipped with two biological safety cabinets, incubators, tabletop centrifuges, a refrigerator and freezers (4 °C and/or -20 °C), as well as a work space. An ultracentrifuge and -80 °C freezers are also available.
