Reaction screening and purification are essential steps in small molecule pharmaceutical discovery labs. Cleaner samples for subsequent synthesis can reduce reaction by-products and facilitate the critical final purification of material for pharmaceutical profiling and toxicology studies.

Although gold nanoparticle production can be controlled to yield specific size ranges, both the concentration and size of nanoparticles must be checked following production.

Field certification of Biological Safety Cabinets (BSC’s) is regulated by the NSF/ANSI 49 Standard, Biosafety Cabinetry: Design, Construction, Performance, and Field Certification, Annex F Field Tests. Section F.1, Field Certification Preconditions and Intervals, discusses when it is necessary to certify BSC’s.
