Performance and Safety
- When the concentration of a specific sensor increases above the nominal value, a warning message is automatically sent to the manager and the toxic gas purifier is automatically controlled: the nominal value is set according to the institution permissible standard
- LSPMS allows for indoor air quality via graph or downloadable excel file
- SmartLab Mate allows for real-time toxic gas concentration monitoring
- Function to check the concentration of toxic gases on the LCD screen when linked with primarily used AIoT reagent cabinet
Solutions
A lab air quality monitoring system can be crucial for ensuring a safe and productive environment in a laboratory setting. Symptoms that may indicate the need for such a system include:
Odor Issues: Persistent or unusual odors in the lab space could be an indication of the presence of harmful substances.
Respiratory Irritation: If lab occupants experience frequent respiratory irritation, such as coughing or shortness of breath, it may suggest the presence of airborne contaminants.
Eye Irritation: Irritation or redness of the eyes can be a sign of poor air quality, possibly caused by airborne particles or chemical fumes.
Headaches and Fatigue: Employees reporting frequent headaches, fatigue, or difficulty concentrating may be experiencing symptoms related to poor air quality.
Allergies and Sensitivities: Increased allergies or sensitivities among lab occupants might be indicative of airborne allergens or irritants.
Chemical Spills or Leaks: Accidental chemical spills or leaks can release hazardous substances into the air, necessitating the need for air quality monitoring.
Inadequate Ventilation: Lack of proper ventilation or HVAC system malfunctions may result in poor air circulation and an accumulation of pollutants.
Use of Hazardous Materials: If the laboratory regularly handles or stores hazardous materials, it’s essential to monitor air quality to ensure the safety of occupants.
Compliance Requirements: Regulatory requirements may mandate the implementation of air quality monitoring systems in certain laboratory settings to comply with safety standards.
Instrument Calibration: Lab instruments that are sensitive to environmental conditions may require a controlled air quality environment for accurate and reliable measurements.
Changes in Lab Activities: Any changes in lab activities, such as the introduction of new equipment or processes, should prompt a reassessment of air quality monitoring needs.
Occupancy Levels: High occupancy levels can lead to an increase in human-generated pollutants, emphasizing the need for effective ventilation and air quality monitoring.
Implementing a lab air quality monitoring system can help identify and address these issues promptly, ensuring a safe and healthy working environment for laboratory personnel. Regular monitoring and preventive measures can contribute to maintaining optimal air quality standards in the lab.
