The evolution of toxic gas detectors is rooted in industrial safety, with milestones marking significant leaps in detection technology. In the early 20th century, electrochemical sensors were among the first devices designed to identify lethal gases in coal mines. The sensors relied on a chemical reaction between the toxic gas and an electrode, generating an electrical […]

Introduction Oxygen Depletion, also known as oxygen deficiency, is a serious safety issue that occurs when the oxygen concentration in an environment falls below the level necessary to sustain human life. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) defines an environment where oxygen levels fall below 19.5% as an oxygen-deficient atmosphere, which should be treated […]

Understanding Oxygen Deficiency The air we breathe is made up of 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and trace amounts of other gases such as carbon dioxide, neon, and hydrogen. The oxygen level in the air we breathe is approximately 20.9%. A drop in oxygen levels below this percentage indicates an oxygen-depleted environment that poses significant health and […]

Metal 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, provides for the creation of complex metal parts by layering metal powders and, depending on the application, selectively sintering, fusing, or melting the powders using a high-powered laser or electron beam. This process offers numerous advantages over traditional manufacturing methods, including reduced waste, increased design freedom to […]

What is a Biorepository? A biorepository, or “biobank”, is a specialized facility designed to store, archive, and distribute biological samples for research or clinical purposes. Biorepositories house biological samples, such as blood, plasma, urine, saliva, tissues, DNA, and organs, among other specimen types, collected from consenting individuals. Critical associated information, including relevant health information about […]

To create that perfect glass of wine, refreshing sip of water, or other non-carbonated drinks of choice, beverage producers often turn to liquid nitrogen (LN2). Liquid nitrogen fills an important role in the bottling and canning of non-carbonated beverages. What is Liquid Nitrogen? Liquid nitrogen is a cryogenic, liquefied form of nitrogen (N). Nitrogen is […]
