Heating And Cooling A Laboratory: Important Considerations For Equipment And DesignASHRAE Standard 55-2004 determines the temperature, humidity and airflow which the average worker is comfortable; and though people in many industries have the luxury of dressing for the seasons, laboratory workers are usually burdened with an extra layer or two of protective garb. So, room atmosphere considerations also need to take into account that many laboratories have their own requirements as to temperature, humidity and airflow (ventilation). All of this adds up to a laboratory having very strict conditions of the facility’s internal air quality. By Brian Garrett, LEED Green Associate, Product Specialist, Labconco Corporation

TSI® AeroTrak® Remote With Pump Particle Counters Installation ConsiderationsWhen specifying particle counters for continuous monitoring applications, such as pharmaceutical aseptic manufacturing processes, there are many system design decisions to be made. These will include instrument location and how to get services such as vacuum and communication cabling to that location, as well as protecting the unit from regular cleaning activities and considering easy access to perform ongoing calibration and maintenance.

Highlights On “Equivalent Time” F0 Sterilization
It has been experimentally shown that the reaction of thermal degradation of micro-organisms obeys the laws of a first order chemical reaction (i.e. like a chemical decomposition reaction) in which the reaction rate is proportional, in each moment, only to the amount of product still to be degraded (or decomposed).
PRODUCTS & SERVICES
Reduced Cycle Times In Isolator Systems
An integrated and reliable biodeconatimination system is absolutely essential in isolators used to fill lines in pharmaceutical manufacturing. Quality and reliability are certainly important, but shortened cycles mean better economic success of the filling line.
AeroTrak® Remote Particle Counters With Integrated Pump
AeroTrak Remote Particle Counters with Integrated Pump are ideal for use in any GMP-controlled area where continuous particulate and environmental monitoring is required. From the hot swappable sensor and pump assembly to the sample inlet capping auto-detect, AeroTrak Remote Particle Counter Models 6310, 6510 and the vaporized hydrogen peroxide (VHP)-resistant 6510-VHP have the features needed for seamless integration and easy maintenance.
Hydrogen Vapor Peroxide Bio-Decontamination Equipment
The Bioquell Q-10 is a hydrogen peroxide vapor (HPV) bio-decontamination system which can be used to bio-decontaminate rooms, laboratories and hospital wards/units in a non-regulated environment.
