New guide from Cryolab covering cryogenic safety equipment for IVF laboratories.
Gloves in four lengths. Face shields for open handling. Oxygen monitors for storage rooms. Aprons for bulk transfers.
The oxygen depletion risk is the most overlooked nitrogen gas is colourless and odourless. A fixed alarm is the only reliable warning.

Yes! He's smelling chemicals the correct way! Holding the open container a bit away from the face and waving the fumes toward it protects you from nasty surprises. Even mild essential oils can send you into coughing fits if you put your nose in a bottle. And you don't want to think about what the stronger ones does to your lungs.

Das gilt übrigens nicht nur für Tiere, sondern für alle Materialien im Umgang mit Zellkultur und Bioprozessen. #LabSafety #ForschungMitVerantwortung #RealScientistsDE

first time in my life I had to make a label for a chemical that includes the statement "fatal if inhaled”
maybe I should include “do not taunt 70% glutaraldehyde”

Can we please stop pretending brushing off the dust after using an analytical balance is good laboratory practice?
It leaves the weighing space contaminated with all kinds of chemicals, stuff gets inside the weighing mechanism and it makes for generally disgusting balances.
Who even ever thought paint brushes at an analytical balance was a good idea?

The Danger of ‘Invisible’ #Biolabs Across the U.S.
Opinion by Dan Greene, August 31, 2023
"Recently, many #California residents were disturbed to learn that a small, privately-operated bio lab in the #CentralValley town of #Reedley was shut down by Fresno County Department of Public Health officials after they found that it had been improperly managing almost 1,000 laboratory mice and samples of infectious diseases including #COVID19, #rubella, #malaria, #dengue, #chlamydia, #hepatitis, and #HIV. The lab was registered to a company called #PrestigeBiotech that sold a variety of medical testing kits, including for pregnancy and COVID-19, and it was likely storing disease samples for the purpose of developing and validating its testing kits. Government authorities are still investigating the company’s history, but it appears to have previously operated a lab in Fresno under the name Universal MediTech, where city officials flagged it for investigation regarding improperly stored chemicals.
"From what is publicly known, the Reedley lab should likely have followed proper biosafety practices to minimize the risks of an #outbreak, and it apparently failed to do so. It could have caused illness, disruption, or even death among local communities and beyond depending on the circumstances of an outbreak. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (#CDC) maintains a system of four 'Biosafety Level' standards that are used worldwide for work with dangerous pathogens. Based on the pathogens that were being used at the Reedley lab, it probably should have followed Biosafety Level 3, which involves controlling the airflow inside the lab as well as a host of other practices, equipment, and facility design requirements.
"Yet, astonishingly, the U.S. government seems to not have even known that the Reedley lab existed until it was discovered by chance by Jesalyn Harper, an observant local city code enforcement officer—the only such officer working full-time in the entire city. Once discovered, the Fresno County and California Departments of Public Health found it to be in violation of local and state codes, including those for registering clinical labs and managing medical waste. Based on our reading of available information, it was likely also in violation of federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulations for protecting workers from bloodborne pathogens. But these codes require proactive reporting, and the lab simply never reported any issues to regulators. In slightly different circumstances, it would likely have continued to operate unnoticed for a long time."

Sooooo, I need to have a talk with someone. Not sure WHAT they did but it took chips out of glass on the other side of the aisle.
And if it is taking chips out of glass at range, that FOR SURE counts as a near miss that needs to be reported.

Is this a #video about #chemical #labsafety or the #opening of an ’80s #gay #porn? You decide.
This #industrial #video from the late ’80s or early ’90s about how to operate an #emergency #safetyshower in a #lab is #hilarious because of its unintentionally #homoerotic #undertones. (Honestly, we’re not 100% convinced it isn’t actually the opening scene from a VHS porn.)

Let's talk about the 2016 University of Hawaii-Manoa lab explosion as a case study in #LabSafety practices.
A few of the photos will be marked sensitive because a postdoc lost an arm in the explosion & there's blood at the scene.
This story is a warning to all researchers.

The truth is...New evidence points to the supposition that the CoVID-19 vaccine escaped from the lab.

#TruthBeTold = A statement that is logically or literally true (or partly true), but seems to imply something that isn’t true or is just plain weird. (for rhetoric, logic or propaganda studies… or just for fun)
