Using Exhaust Hoods or Ducted Fume Hoods can lead to a variety of issues that affect the operation and safety of the fume hood. Below are a few common issues or concerns experienced with Exhaust Hoods. • Ductwork particulate build-up resulting in downtime and costly maintenance procedures (Haugen, 2018) • Safety concerns associated with ductwork… Learn More
Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) requires strict laboratory protocol and procedures to prevent contamination and ensure accurate results (Rhea-McManus, 2022). PCR has revolutionized molecular biology and gene studies but recently became widely known for pathogen tests such as COVID-19 (Rhea-McManus, 2022). Laboratories should utilize Laminar Flow Hoods or Portable Clean Rooms for preparation and other sensitive… Learn More
To improve safety in the science classroom, educational facilities should utilize Fume Hoods and Air Cleaners. Fume Hoods, such as Ductless Fume Hoods or Exhaust Hoods, provide the first layer of defense against harmful fumes and particulate created from experiments, demonstrations, or studies. Chemistry Fume Hoods can also help protect from other hazards such… Learn More
Rotary evaporators can release hazardous solvent fumes while using or cleaning the system, or while emptying the solvent trap (UCLA, 2010). Operators should consider fume inhalation risks and utilize respiratory engineering controls, such as a ductless fume hood or exhaust hood, to protect their safety and the overall laboratory’s safety. What are Rotary Evaporators? Rotary… Learn More
What is Stool Culture? Stool culture is the process of testing a sample of stool in order to determine whether you have an infection in your lower digestive tract due to pathogenic germs such as bacteria, fungus, viruses, or protozoa. This test is used to identify the various types of bacteria that can cause disease… Learn More
Laboratory fume hoods provide operator and environmental protection from hazardous fumes, particulate, and other gases. Through inhalation, harmful fumes directly enter the blood stream and small particles may become embedded deep within the lungs (Ref. 1). A laboratory fume hood reduces exposure by containing the fumes and particulate dispersed during an experiment and a… Learn More
Mycology, a branch of biology, focuses on the study of fungi. Heinrich Anton de Bary, a research botanist from Germany in the 1800s, is credited for his ground-breaking research on fungi-related plant diseases, which laid the foundation for modern mycology and plant pathology. The field of mycology is vast and includes a wide array of… Learn More
Initially, denture teeth were made of ceramic material. With the advent of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) in the 1940s, a new material was introduced for the fabrication of denture teeth. Denture teeth are currently made of either methacrylate-based resins (acrylic resin) or ceramics. Loss of teeth, which may be due to trauma, dental diseases, pathology, or… Learn More
Crushing, cutting, splitting, pulverizing and dividing. These are all common practices when preparing geological and mineral core samples for further testing and analysis. Breaking down a larger sample via these methods helps reduce volume and/or particle size, creates representative samples, and preps the sample for analyses like specific gravity or bulk density. There are several… Learn More
