Safety, Hazard Containment and Sterilizing: Making Science Safe

Most laboratories will, at some point in their procedures, handle chemicals. This may be as simple as weighing out a powder, or as complex as multi-stage organic synthesis. Whatever the application, safety is a priority and, to protect laboratory staff, some form of chemical containment is required. Ductless fume hoods and filtered storage cabinets are popular, cost-effective and environmentally-friendly options for laboratories across a wide range of scientific disciplines. This application note explains how to ensure your laboratory is as safe as it can be.
