StarLite FOAM safety eyewear is the newest member of the StarLite family of eye-protection products. It is designed with a soft foam edge that both blocks dirt and debris and helps to absorb perspiration and protect workers in warm, dusty environments. The scratch-resistant polycarbonate lens blocks more than 99.9% of UV-A, UV-B and UV-C light. It also prevents fogging when workers move between warm and air-conditioned environments. The lightweight eyewear meets the ANSI Z87.1+ standard.

Purair vertical-flow cabinets guide a laminar flow of air directly toward the work surface. An ultra-low-penetration air (ULPA) filter is mounted above the work surface, and perforations in the rear wall remove a small amount of air to minimize turbulence. The cabinets are available in 36-in., 48-in. and 72-in. widths. All three models provide a nominal filter face velocity of 0–45 m/s (90 ft/min), which ensures a sufficient number of air changes for maintaining cleanliness within the work zone.

This fire safety kit is made to protect fluid storage and dispensing systems. It replaces the standard polyvinyl chloride (PVC) sight gage found on the front of the containers with a fire-resistant glass sight gage that is equipped with ball check fittings at both ends to prevent product spillage in case the glass breaks. Below the containers, the standard PVC hose is replaced with a steel hose that connects to a fusible link valve with a spring-activated handle.

Under a recently signed agreement, Sterifide Laboratories will distribute PURE Bioscience’s silver dihydrogen citrate (SDC)-based disinfectant as OneShot Plus DD. It kills standard bacteria in under 30 s, fungi in 10 min., HIV Type I in 30 s, and methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) in only 2 min. SDC disinfectant may be used in manufacturing facilities to kill fungus and bacteria in machinery oil, eliminating the need to shut down oil-consuming machinery to drain contaminated oil.

The ST1 safety enclosure range is a containment system that has been designed to protect the analyst during the weighing process. The system has been performance-tested for the weighing of active drug compounds. The range has a chemical-resistant marble base that provides stability, and is available with an a1-safetech safe change local extraction and filtration system. Alternatively, it can connect directly to an in-house extraction or independent fan filtration. Each unit includes a dual-point, datalogging alarm that ensures operator safety.

The SteriMax system for sterilizing loops, needles and instruments is suitable for use in laboratories and safety cabinets where gases and open flames are not permitted or are unavailable. The tube into which the items to be sterilized are inserted is made of wear-resistant quartz glass, and reaches its optimal temperature of 1,650°F after only a few minutes. Sterilization requires only insertion into the quartz tube and the passage of 5–7 s. The system’s 100% stainless steel design allows it to withstand extreme laboratory conditions.

The Earth-Rite PLUS grounding indicator system provides a fail-safe assurance of a low-resistance path to ground for static electricity dissipation during the transfer of flammable liquids or powders to or from tanker trucks, railcars, drums, containers, or virtually any other conductive equipment. Its features now include an optional heavy-duty stainless-steel ground clamp, a retractable coiled grounding and monitoring cable, and a quick-connect design for fast field replacement of the clamp or cable.

The MultiPhase BioSystem is capable of controlling volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from virtually all sources. A practical alternative to thermal oxidizers, in-bed biofiltration systems, and aerobic digestion, it combines characteristics of an in-bed bioscrubber and aerobic digestion with the high removal efficiency of micron-scale mist scrubbing. It treats high inlet concentrations of VOC emissions, including such alcohols as methanol and other high-vapor-pressure compounds, as well as more difficult turpenes and pinenes.

The m-ColiBlue24 broth simultaneously detects and identifies both total coliforms and Escherichia coli (E. coli). Complete enumeration is accomplished within 24 h, requiring neither a confirmation step nor fluorescent lamps. Visual interpretation of results is easy, with E. coli colonies appearing as blue and other coliforms as red. This direct enumeration is more accurate and precise than such statistical-based tests as multiple-tube fermentation (MTF) and most-probable number (MPN). This broth method of detection has been approved by the U.S.

These all-in-one, professional-grade emergency spill kits are designed to clean up hazardous spills in manufacturing facilities. Each kit contains absorbent pads, pillows, universal snakes, booms, protective gloves, oil-resistant high-temperature disposal bags, emergency response instructions and a 5-gal pail of the cleaning/degreasing agent. Kits are available in both 65-gal and 95-gal overpacks.
