viii UK Focus New COSHH cupboard for safer liquids storage


As part of its continued commitment to new product development, hygienic furniture specialist Teknomek has expanded its fl oor cupboard range with a dedicated liquids storage cupboard. Designed to make the storage of potentially dangerous liquids much safer and more secure, the cupboard has a removable liquid capture tray which is critical when organisations are dealing with hazardous substances.


Teknomek has designed the new cupboard to be perfect for purpose. Key to this is the 20mm deep, removable liquid capture tray. As per the requirements of COSHH, the tray ensures that should potentially dangerous liquids leak, they can be s contained and easily dealt with. The cupboard, which is made from 304 Stainless Steel, has lockable doors to keep liquids secure. At one metre tall, it can hold either 25 litre or 50 litre containers and includes a removable shelf so that storage space is maximised. Additional shelves are also an option.


“Unlike our other fl oor cupboards, the liquids storage cupboard has no drainage holes, to ensure that any liquids being stored are retained within the unit,” explained Sue Springett, Commercial Manager at Teknomek. “In the case of any leaks or spills, the liquid capture tray can be easily removed from the cupboard and the leaked liquid can be safely neutralised.”


The new storage cupboard is ideal for any environment where hygiene is a priority. With a fl oor clearance of 150mm it allows for easy access for thorough cleaning below the unit and has been designed for easy cleaning along the sides and rear underneath. It has a sloping top to prevent it being used as an unplanned work surface and to make exterior cleaning exceptionally easy. With four stainless steel adjustable feet, with a non-marking rubber base for levelling, the cupboard is robust enough to withstand the toughest of manufacturing environments.


“The majority of our customers are working within COSHH regulations so we’re always looking for ways to help them. The liquids storage cupboard is the fi rst of several enhancements we are making to our range of cupboards, and we’re delighted that it has already been so well-received,” continued Sue Springett. “Because every business is different, we can adapt the liquids cupboard design to meet the specifi c needs of any organisation.”

Understanding the full application potential of your UV-Vis spectrophotometer just got easier as Shimadzu UK published a new downloadable, quick read accessories guide. How to extend the power of your UV-Vis Spectrophotometer offers concise, easy to absorb information by sample type, linking the specialist features of each accessory with industry specifi c applications.


Whether you are testing solid or liquid samples, for high throughput analysis or specialist surface


refl ectance measurements, UV-Vis accessories and software can automate processes, broaden your application base, and ensure your analysis is as effi cient and effective as possible.


The new UV accessories guide was produced by the Shimadzu UK experts’ team to simplify the process of accessory selection, enabling laboratory managers and researchers to cut through the noise and make a clear, qualifi ed buying decision.


“Innovative accessories and software add-ons make UV-Vis spectrophotometry increasingly accurate and useful across an ever widening range of industries and applications. While life science laboratories have been putting thermal-melting software and electrothermal accessories to good use in DNA and enzyme research for some time now, one of our more recent innovations will soon be available to help the renewable energy sector measure the performance of batteries and solar panels,” said Ralph Vokes, Senior Spectroscopy Specialist at SHIMADZU.


“With an ever-expanding fi eld of technological innovation, it can be challenging to keep up with all the application possibilities these advances bring with them. So, it is increasingly important for instrument specialists to ensure the information we provide at source is easy to understand and assists laboratory managers in the buying process,” explained Ralph Vokes.

57318pr@reply-direct.com can help prevent COVID transmission Cost-eff ective CO2


Recent advice from the HSE states that by maximising the fl ow of natural fresh air in indoor spaces, the risk of COVID transmission can be reduced by up to 70%. They


also recommend the use of a CO2 monitor to better understand air quality within specifi c areas.


CO2 can build up in the air the same


way droplets of the virus can, so by monitoring CO2


levels you will


also be identifying poorly ventilated workspaces which increase the likelihood of transmission. Improved air fl ow can be achieved through natural ventilation and mechanical systems such as ducts or vents.


Honeywell has recently introduced a cost-effective and user-friendly indoor monitor - the Honeywell Transmission Risk Air Monitor (HTRAM). This new real-time device analyses specifi c air quality conditions and alerts users when conditions are present that may increase the risk of exposure to airborne viral transmission in a certain area. This device is available in the UK through Honeywell’s authorised distributer Shawcity.


The Honeywell Transmission Risk Air Monitor* is an easy-to-deploy, portable device that measures carbon dioxide and features a proprietary risk alerting system based on different activity levels within a room. This allows end users to proactively improve indoor ventilation which, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention1, can help reduce the spread of certain diseases and decrease the risk of exposure among building occupants.


Research conducted by scientists at the University of Colorado has shown that real-time monitoring of indoor ambient air can be an indicator of increased risk of airborne viral transmission, utilising different levels of risk-based factors such as CO2


concentration levels and the type of human activity in the area.


Using this guidance and algorithms, Honeywell has identifi ed air quality conditions that are driven by common activities and variables such as average room size, number of people present, breathing rate and duration. The HTRAM comes with three pre- programmed indoor activity settings: Low activity (cinemas, libraries & classrooms), medium activity (restaurants, offi ces & small clinics), and high activity (gyms, indoor arenas & recreation centres). The device is recommended for coverage of 800-1000 square feet.


For each setting, the monitor provides indications using a traffi c light pattern (green, yellow, or red) and a sound alarm so users can be aware of conditions that may increase the risk of airborne transmission based on detectable CO2


levels and take steps such as improving ventilation.


The user-friendly HTRAM is a small, portable and lightweight unit that comes with a 1-year limited product warranty. Its cutting-edge non-dispersive infra-red technology (NDIR) ensures a reliable, precise measurement and the HTRAM not only monitors CO2


,


it also measures temperature and relative humidity. The instrument will emit a single ‘beep’ when there is a medium level alert and 2 ‘beeps’ when the levels are high. While this instrument cannot monitor for any airborne viruses, it is an effective tool for lowering the risk of contamination. HTRAM has been designed specifi cally to warn operators when CO2


levels, humidity and temperature have made the spread of viruses most likely; it is not used to defi ne conditions in which the CO2
