 Lab Safety Tip

The Third Annual Laboratory Safety Survey
How did the 464 lab professionals we surveyed this year respond to our 2012 survey on laboratory safety? Last year’s survey indicated fairly substantial improvement over 2010 despite the continuing economic pressures that might have moved lab health and safety down the priority list. But that was not the case last year, nor was it the case this year, when we found modest but steady improvement across nearly all lab health and safety categories.

Old HP5890 Ignition Problem
Posted by: sanshonomi
Message: Hello, I have an old HP5890 that has an ignition problem. It does ignite, the filament turns red, but it discharges in a second. The flow of Hydrogen is ~30mL/min, and air ~400 mL/min. Things that I've tried so far: turned the pressure of hydrogen and air up and down; and cleaning the jet. After cleaning and reinstallng the jet, it stopped even igniting. Please help.
