Customised Class II Biosafety Cabinets
Do you want to know how expert your biosafety cabinet manufacturer really is? Here’s a simple test: try specifying custom features. Customisation swiftly separates cabinet specialists from the average manufacturer that would probably rather you ordered a standard off-the-shelf model.
Most Class II cabinet manufacturers treat customisation as an afterthought. Only the best regard it as the start of the process. Faster Air take it a stage further by giving the custom cabinets a dedicated production line (with the support of a sizeable R&D team).
Custom Class II biosafety cabinets are ordered mostly by pharmaceutical customers, but all users could gain benefits from specifying their cabinets with a few extras: LED Lighting offers brighter, better quality light and also saves energy; Isokinetic Head’s measure airflow quality in a cabinet, making sure it stays true laminar; Larger apertures - use of robots makes taller sashes with larger apertures popular; Integrated Microscope (And Light), Docking Ports are specialised requirements for microscopes need dedicated cabinets to accommodate them; Larger Class II Cabinets - Faster models come in four standard widths, but if higher/deeper cabinets are required to accommodate bulkier equipment they can manufacture in any bespoke size; Adjustable Sash Height And Fan Speed - Sash height is crucial in order to maintain true laminar airflow. Faster can manufacture cabinets with custom-height sashes; Full Stainless Steel Cabinets for specialised pharmaceutical requirements, for instance, dealing with vaccines. They’re also recommended for gas-tight Class III cabinets used for work involving pathogens; Marble Plinths are available to resist vibration, if sensitive balances are required in the cabinet; CCTV Integration helps to ensure quality control and protect users.
Faster Air sells SafeFAST Class II microbiological safety cabinets through its official UK distributor Biopharma Group. More information online:

Mitigating the Effects of Pulsating Flow in Flow Measurement
Titan Enterprises has published a new technical article that discusses how variation in flow velocity can impact flow measurement accuracy and how to mitigate any undesirable effects.
It is well known that flowmeters are sensitive to effects such as pulsating flow which can generate errors in flow measurement. Pulsating flows are common in systems using diaphragm, peristaltic or piston pumps for example. In a pulsating flow system, the velocity profile of the flow undergoes a dramatic change during each cycle of pulsation compared to even flow conditions.
According to theory, to accurately measure flow in a pulsating flow scenario the sampling rate of an electronic flow meter needs to be at least double the frequency rate of the pulsations themselves. If the pulsation rate is not taken into account, aliasing of the flow signal will be seen, resulting in erroneous measurement from the flowmeter.
Using advanced electronics, Titan’s Atrato® and Metraflow® ranges of ultrasonic flowmeters are able to resolve the ultrasonic signals to about 50
picoseconds. With downstream signal processing, Titan’s ultrasonic flowmeters are able to accurately measure pulsating fluid flow that is less than 10Hz. To accurately measure pulsating flows above this frequency requires inline pulse dampening.

New Connected Electronic Pipettes Introduced Eppendorf has developed the brand new VisioNize®
pipette manager and is on its way towards digitalisation in manual pipetting. The system is ideal for scientists
who manage a high workload and require many intricate pipetting steps. Technology solutions are here to help scientists improve speed, accuracy, and efficiency and collaboration. This is where connectivity and the Internet-of-Things approach come in.
The VisioNize pipette manager acts as a control panel and communicates with the connected electronic pipettes from Eppendorf. The VisioNize pipette manager can be used to quickly enter volumes, with all the settings being immediately transferred to all the connected electronic pipettes. The integrated software provides helpful guidance to ensure accuracy when working with different liquid types. Conventional tablets can also be connected alongside the electronic pipettes to work in parallel.
Back in 1961, Eppendorf launched the world’s first microliter system, the ‘Marburg Pipette’, thus revolutionising pipetting forever. The year 2021 marks both the 60th anniversary of this groundbreaking development and the next step Eppendorf is taking to support scientists on the way to the networked laboratory of the future.
