We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Fume Cupboard",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Laboratorytalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Parallel synthesiser promises high flexibility from
Radleys, which we summarised at the time by saying "The affordability of the Carousel 6 brings all the productivity benefits of parallel synthesis to individual chemists at a fraction of the cost of comparable systems".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Waste collector offers efficient inhaler testing from
Copley Scientific: "Copley Scientific's new Waste Shot Collector, Model WSC2, is a compact benchtop unit that efficiently captures the waste doses produced during inhaler testing".
In June 2007, we covered the news from Opti-Pharma (UK)
concerning its Airflow monitors
- take a look at Airflow monitors improve fume cupboard safety
which says: "If you have a fume extract system in your lab that requires airflow monitoring or indeed a faulty alarm system, contact Opti-Pharma UK for expert advice and a cost effective quotation".
Take a look also at the news release from Air Science Technologies, Bomb-sniffing bees trained on fume cupboard,
as well as Secuflow again university fume cupboard of choice from Waldner,
and Microplate products for biomolecular screening from Porvair Sciences.
