But those manmade materials could get a lot greener soon, thanks to the ingenuity of a team of scientists from three U.S. research universities. Read More Lab Health and Safety Safe Storage of Combustibles to Avoid Lab Fires Lab fires can be devastating, not only for the source lab, but surrounding labs as well One event we constantly try to prevent is a laboratory fire. Unfortunately, they are all too common and even “small” ones can cause tremendous damage and adversely impact not only the immediate lab where the fire occurred but also most adjoining labs. And large fires can be devastating, destroying the source lab and sometimes the whole building. Read More Shopping for a Ductless Fume Hood? What to Consider When Choosing a Ductless Fume Hood Simpler to use, safer to operate Join Linda the lab manager as she discovers some of the options to consider during the evaluation and purchase of a ductless fume hood in this video sponsored by Erlab.
