Ductles Demonstration Fume Hood
Safe for Classrooms and Industrial Training
The EDU™ Series of demonstration fume hoods from Air Science is ideal for education, vocational training and industrial workforce development. Meeting OSHA, ANSI and other international standards, the hoods are designed to offer 360° visibility for full participation, while protecting the class from any toxic fumes.
The units are mounted on heavy-duty transfer carts, and are designed with a low center of gravity and height so they can be easily wheeled from one lab or classroom to another, fitting through standard doorways. Contaminated air is pulled through the Multiplex™ filtration system, which returns clean air to the room. The filtration system consists of an electrostatic pre-filter, a main filter and optional safety filter. The pre-filter may be changed while the unit is running.
Additional features are available for added flexibility. “[An EDU hood] can be equipped with quick disconnect fittings for water and gas that enable it to be used with various gases and/or water,” said Andy Chambre, President, Air Science. “[They can] then be disconnected and put out of the way in a storage area.”The EDU™ Series of fume hoods includes four models: EDU-Mobile, EDU-Classic, EDU-Ada and EDU-Junior.

EMCCD Camera for the Life Sciences
Broadband Sensitivity for In Vivo Imaging
The Evolve 128 EMCCD camera from Photometrics provides extreme sensitivity for demanding low-light applications. Quant-View, one of its advanced camera features, eliminates arbitrary gray levels in favour of photoelectron counts, establishing a basic unit of measurement and making it easier for researchers to compare experimental results.
“There are situations when you’re dealing with samples with extremely low expression levels and the time frame of reactions is very small,” said Rachit Mohindra, Associate Product Manager at Photometrics. “The sensitivity and high frame rate of the Evolve 128 permit the detection of these signals with sufficient temporal resolution.”
The camera’s onboard intelligence features maintain precise, accurate and quantitative measurements, as well as improved image quality. Quant-View technology provides a repeatable approach to collecting and interpreting live imaging data by reading out pixel values in photoelectrons—a standardized unit of measurement.
eXcelon™ sensor technology images blue and near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths with higher quantum efficiency. “It takes fringe patterns, or etaloning, and reduces it tenfold,” added Mohindra. “This allows researchers to extend their imaging into the longer wavelengths as well as facilitating the development of new fluorescent dyes.” Sensitivity across the NIR is vital for imaging studies because of low tissue auto-fluorescence. eXcelon’s reduced etaloning facilitates the expansion of NIR fluorescent probes.
Ideal for various applications including calcium and in vivo imaging, the Evolve 128 EMCCD camera performs well in low-light applications such as spinning disk confocal microscopy and single molecule fluorescence (SMF).
