If they decon the centrifuge in the same fashion they do the
hoods they will construct a barrier around the equipment that contains the gas
until the procedure is complete, usually a few hours. I don’t think it needs
to be moved outside but perhaps to a non-busy part of the lab and you may want
to pay an upcharge to have it done in off-hours when not as many people would
be around.

Hello DCHAS,
I'm having a
centrifuge decommissioned that was used in the tuberculosis lab for many
years. The company that's coming in to do the decontamination work is the
same company that services the biosafety cabinets and fume hoods. This is
a large lab with 100+ employees, so ideally I'd like for them to do
the work outside - perhaps in a cordoned off section of the parking lot.
Has anyone got any
experiences, thoughts, or warnings about this you'd like to
share?
Eric
