Since I am the best looking, I'll answer right away! :>)

 

We purchased the CBG instrument last year. It is fully self-contained, and sits right in the lab near the processors. We have no special ventilation for it. Recent monitoring showed no problems.

Subject: xylene recyclers

 

Hello Histonetters:

I was recently asked a question by our Facilities Management department about our xylene recycler. They wanted to know what were the requirements for the room that the recycler is in as far as fire safety is concerned.  I thought I would ask the best looking people on the Internet what they are doing in own laboratories.  In the meantime I will check in with the NFPA on this.

Can’t wait to hear from you;
