Agents
To comply with federal
guidelines and regulations, the use of all biological agents,
biological toxins or recombinant
materials in laboratories must be registered with EHRS.
|  | | Select
Agents
Certain restricted biological agents
and toxins have been designated as "select agents" by the federal
government (USDHHS/CDC and USDA/APHIS). Possession, use and
transfer of these restricted agents must be registered with
EHRS and the appropriate federal authorities. EHRS is responsible
for coordinating the federal registration process for all Penn
investigators.
