Biosafety cabinets have been around for generations1. These cabinets provide an enclosed, filtered, and ventilated lab workspace for materials containing pathogens requiring a defined biosafety level. Several different types of BSC’s exist, differentiated by their
The primary mission of Flow Sciences is to contain hazardous materials. We maintain a laboratory for containment performance verification, relevant standard testing, and product development.
We test every unique enclosure that is manufactured for reliable performance.
Merck has chosen many times with us to verify containment performance further through surrogate powder testing. Recently we have hosted Merck at our facil

Abstract:
Recently published scientific papers feature various aspects of pandemic “star” Coronavirus 19. This virus has significantly changed pharma research and production in a variety of unique ways.
This white paper will focus on how research/production efforts might fail under the threats of highly contagious disease viruses, bacteria, and highly active pharmaceutical ingredients. Performing contemporary research safely and producing highly ac

Occasionally, containment devices must be made a bit more complex in order tosimplifythe process taking place inside. Here, a powder ingredient can be manipulated in a 2- stage process involving a Mettler analytical balance and a Senco FC202 glass-jacketed reactor using a dual operator glove box workstation with balance enclosure.
This containment device offers personnel protection during a 2-stage, 2-person process. The hazards and exposure risks of both stages of the process are sig
Flow Sciences, Inc. was tasked with designing a modular containment unit that would house a Genevac EZ2 Elite Evaporator and allow for transfer of materials post-manipulation into a separate, connected balance enclosure for weighing. The Genevac equipment required a level, sturdy work surface and a 2” air gap between the evaporator and the bench edge, according to manu
The API Process Development System was designed to provide personnel and product protection when working with powder and liquid substances. The enclosure housed a Mettler Toledo Easy Max 102, vacuum oven, and IKA LR 1000. The unit required a stainless steel base to allow for intensive cleaning protocols with shelves underneath to assist in recirculating the chiller and vacuum pumps needed to operate the process equipment. Operators needed access from the rear of the enclosure for cleaning pur
Abstract:
We have already looked at accidents inside fume hoods and posed several questions that might rush through one’s mind directly after a fume hood fire erupts 1.
From this earlier paper referenced above and an additional literature search we will examine the following issues in this second paper:
- What construction and installation techniques must be observed while selecting and
