The American Association for Laboratory
Animal Science (AALAS) held its 59th Annual
Meeting in Indianapolis, Indiana this past
November 9th through13th. Not surprisingly,
the theme for the conference was Neuroscience
and Neurological Research. Over the past
year, we've seen many institutions receive
financial support to expand research programs
that target diseases like Alzheimer's and
Parkinson's. The exhibit hall was filled
with products, partnerships and services
for animal facilities to support research
in neural biology and biomedicine, and develop
high-throughput capability in existing facilities.
HDR CUH2A sent a team of vivarium designers
to survey new products.
Workstation
The DWS range of Downflow Workstations operate
at low noise levels, recirculate air, and
do not exhaust expensive conditioned and/or
heated air into the atmosphere. The units
have been designed to provide a small bench
mounted unit with unrestricted access for
those operations that are difficult to perform
in a conventional fume hood. To provide protection,
the downflow action takes the contaminated
air away from the operator and an alarm will
sound when the airflow falls to an unacceptable
level. Air

PROVIDE SECURE, ADEQUATELY
SPACED, WELL VENTILATED STORAGE
OF CHEMICALS
In academic institutions, the
most serious issue is the restriction
of access to hazardous chemicals
to appropriate personnel. Students
and others will steal chemicals.
Keep the door to the storeroom
locked and only allow authorized
people to get at these materials.
