Safety Is Not An Option - Improved Principles of Biological Safety Cabinet Design
Effective Biological Safety Cabinet performance can be greatly affected by different laboratory conditions: Size of laboratory, location of cabinet within a room, traffic patterns of laboratory personnel, electrical variations, airflow ducts and grills, and other equipment. The greater the extremes, the increased likelihood a cabinet will pass-the safer the cabinet design.

Minimizing Surface Residues With Aqueous Cleaning
The benefits of employing aqueous cleaning in pharmaceutical manufacturing are numerous. Virtually any pharmaceutical manufacturing equipment from tablet press to a stainless steel mixing tank can achieve their defined critically clean criteria using aqueous cleaning. Typically aqueous cleaners are formulated to ensure maximal cleaning performance by using key ingredients such as surface active agents (surfactants) that are excellent wetting agents that allow the cleaning solution to penetrate into crevices while getting under soils to allow for removal. Often very dilute solutions of aqueous cleaner effectively removes even worst case substances off a variety of hard surfaces including stainless steel, glass, plastic, or porcelain.

Beyond The Lab: The Full Portrait Of Efficiency
When you think of laboratory equipment being environmentally friendly, energy-efficient performance first comes to mind. For laboratory glassware washers, low water consumption is the first consideration. For example, less water use translates into lower electrical costs for heating that water, less detergent for cleaning, and less effluent flows into the waste stream. By Miele Professional
