Problem: The University of Rochester was
looking to rebrand itself and increase student
enrollment, particularly in the Science and
Engineering Department. The university’s president
understood that in order to achieve this goal, they
needed to improve the school’s attractiveness
to undergraduate science majors. Although the
university had been gaining well-deserved respect
for their graduates, the lack of innovative and
updated lab facilities was a serious factor in
hindering undergraduate enrollment. The current
chemistry lab had been regularly upgrading its
equipment, but it failed to update the physical
workspace. Long counters filled small rooms with
drab-colored walls. The design was functional but
it was far from a state-of the-art laboratory.
One of the primary safety devices in laboratories where chemicals are used is the laboratory fume hood. It allows a researcher to work with—but not be exposed to— materials that create toxic fumes or particles when it is properly installed and maintained.
Lab Manager brings together a panel of technical experts to go over the latest in fume hood technology and to help address any questions you may have pertaining to its use in your laboratory, for your specific application.
There are many different signs that it’s time to upgrade your fume hood, but vendors say safety is the number one reason.
