All of us at Electron Microscopy Sciences are concerned for the safety and well being of the microscopy community. For this reason we highly recommend the following publications regarding safety in the lab.
ELECTRON MICROSCOPY SAFETY HANDBOOK; Vernon C. Barber and Deborah L. Clayton, Editors. San Francisco Press Inc., 1985 ISBN 0-911302-56-5
ELECTRON MICROSCOPY PRINCIPLES AND TECHNIQUES FOR BIOLOGISTS; John J. Bozzala and Lonnie D. Russell. Jones and Bartlett Publishers., 1992 pp. 498-519.ISBN 0-86720-126-6
SAFETY IN THE SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY LAB; J. Bastacky and T.L. Hayes, Scanning 7:255-72., 1985
Lab-Sorb converts liquid waste to solid waste for easy disposal. LabSorb liquids to solids in seconds and the granules can rapidly absorb aqueous or mixed aqueous and organic solvent waste.
Polyform-F is the spill control product for the safe and rapid control of harmful vapors from Formaldehyde, Glutaraldehyde, 10 percent Neutral Buffered Formalin, and other aldehydes, including Cidex-OPA and Formaldehyde based embalming solutions.
These emergency spill response kits are an ideal solution for small volume chemical users. They include safety goggles, gloves, waste bags, a broom/pan combination, along with a solution.
Specially treated with Formalex, FAN Pad-GL pads are designed for the ultimate destruction of formaldehyde, 10 percent NBF formalin, and glutaraldehyde solutions.
Dry formaldehyde absorbent neutralizer pad provides a unique foundation for specimen dissection that absorbs and neutralizes formalin, destroying its harmful vapors while dissecting tissue.
Dry formalin neutralizer pad to absorb and neutralize excess formalin. Each pad is treated with a liquid formalin neutralizer, processed through a gentle drying process, maintaining the same neutralizing effectiveness as a moist pad.
For handling and disposing of formaldehyde containing solutions. Aids in reducing exposure to formaldehyde gases by immobilizing formalin and transforming it to an easily removed semi-solid mass. The mass cools rapidly minimizing off-gassing.
This kit features FSC-1 to aid in reducing exposure to formaldehyde gas in the event of a spill. The formalin is transformed into an easily removable semi solid mass that cools rapidly to minimize formaldehyde off gassing.
Will solidify any water base fluid, decontaminates and deodorizers, Contains chlorine (NaDCC) an EPA registered disinfectant. An Alternate treatment to steam sterilization or incineration, for blood and other body fluids.
SureSeal™ Sample Bags are gamma sterilized, leaving a virgin interior surface with no toxic residue from gas exposure. The bags are made of virgin polyethylene for excellent clarity and strength. They meet USDA, EPA and FDA standards.
Ampoule Breaker is made of soft silicone, reusable, and a simple way to break pre-scored glass ampoules safely. Accommodates 5, 7, and 10 ml size ampoules, reduces injury and spillage.
Box style design allows one handed opening of up to 3 ampoules at a time. Unobstructed viewing of ampoule contents at all times. Includes 4 inserts to allow opening of 1ml, 2ml, 5ml and 10 ml Ampoules.
Pry open design pop tubes right open, saving fingers from the stress of opening microtubes. Works with most flat-top and domed microtubes. Bottom portion of TubePopper allows caps to be pressed closed without snagging glove fingers.
Durable FDA approved silicone mat that provides a stain resistant washable work surface for the laboratory. Ideal for cold rooms, clean rooms, and where high sterility is a requirement. Protect countertops from hot items up to 200°C.
Flexible polyethylene film backing with a highly absorbent upper surface which traps liquids. Use for water , dyes, resins, solvents, and radioactive solutions, roll up and discarded.
Made from vacuum formed polystyrene 1/2"(12.7cm) deep with an external flange. Overall dimensions are 23"x27" (58x69cm), accommodates our Benchtop mat (Cat. #64446)
This lead wire is 1/4" (6.4mm) in diameter and is coated with a chemical-resistant red Vikem vinyl. 300mm length and its flexibility make it a very versatile. It can be coiled around a flask or beaker. Weighs 1/4 lb.
Weighted holder grips beaker or flask with four flared stainless steel prongs keeping it immersed in water. Vinyl-coated lead ring provides a low center of gravity so water circulates underneath.
