HEPA / ULPA Filtration Replacement
Carbon filters must be replaced regularly to avoid the effects of over-saturation and protect laboratory personnel from harmful vapors generated on the work surface. Even small levels of hazardous vapors that pass through old, expended filters pose significant risks. If the filters are not changed regularly, dangerous fumes and vapors will pass through and return […]
How the PCR Workstation Helps DNA Sampling
DNA sampling allows criminal investigators to compare recovered DNA evidence to that of a suspect’s profiles. Scientists can amplify genetic material using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), even when minute amounts of DNA evidence are collected from a crime scene. PCR is, however, extremely susceptible to contamination as it is unable to separate DNA from different […]

Ductless Fume Hood Impact on Environment
Ductless fume hoods are synonymous with savings. In addition to the total lifetime savings, ductless fume hoods also provide a lower environmental impact. Because fume hoods run 24/7, they are generally considered to be energy hogs. Ducted varieties are particularly bad because of the requirements for makeup air and emissions that are exhausted into the […]
Ductless Demonstration Fume Hoods Improve Classroom Experience
Hands-on learning sparks curiosity in students and gets them interested in learning, whether in high school or college. Yet, to ensure classroom demonstrations are safe and effective, instructors must be given the right resources. Many of the most creative and exciting classroom demonstrations can also be the most dangerous. There are numerous news reports of […]
Carbon Filters: Why quality matters
Efficient filter frame design, proper loose carbon granule preparation and continuity in frame-filling are critical to safe ductless fume hood operation. From facility managers to end-users, all personnel must be confident in the efficacy of any replacement filter to protect against the hazardous fumes and vapors that the fume hood is designed to contain. Carbon […]
Quality Carbon Filters Optimize Fume Hood Performance
A ductless fume hood is a self-contained laboratory enclosure that passes contaminated air through filters before returning the air directly to the laboratory. Ductless fume hoods are designed to be installed almost anywhere in a facility and offer a range of benefits that permit research, manufacturing and processing functions to proceed with safety and efficiency. […]
Laboratory Chemical Storage: Dos and Don’ts
Fume hoods can be categorized into two main types – ducted and ductless. Traditional ducted fume hoods are connected to existing facility ductwork, pull contaminated air through the hood, and direct it outside the facility. Ducted fume hoods can be filtered or unfiltered depending on the design and application. Ductless fume hoods contain filters that […]
Ensuring Laboratory Safety Through Proper Chemical Storage
When storing chemicals in the lab, it’s important to ensure proper guidelines are followed. This helps keep your lab running smoothly and ensures the safety of personnel and the environment. Chemical Storage Dos In addition to ensuring chemicals are properly labeled, container contents, hazard/precautionary statement, manufacturer information, and keeping a comprehensive chemical inventory, there are […]
