Laboratory Ventilation: How Protecting from Laboratory Hazards can be Sustainable
Event Description
Abstract:
Ventilation and sustainability are not often considered two things that go well together. However, innovative engineering and forward thinking has made sustainable ventilation for common laboratory hazards a reality. Today’s laboratories need to not only be efficient, but flexible – ensuring the lab is up to the task of any researcher that comes along. Join us as we explore how fume hoods and biosafety cabinets have adapted to meet the current demands for sustainability and flexibility requirements, while also incorporating more advanced safety features for enhance personnel protection.
