Ensuring Safe Handling of Liquid Nitrogen in Industrial Applications Liquid nitrogen (LN₂) is integral to various industries, including food processing, healthcare, and manufacturing, due to its extremely low boiling point of -320°F (-196°C), making it an effective coolant and freezing agent. However, its handling necessitates strict adherence to safety protocols to mitigate associated risks. Hazards […]

Fire Suppression Systems Fire suppression systems are indispensable to ship safety. These automated systems quickly detect fires and respond immediately, protecting personnel, cargo, and the ship itself. These systems automatically release firefighting agents like water mist, foam, or carbon dioxide (CO2) to suppress or extinguish the flames. By rapidly containing fires, fire suppression systems prevent […]

Introduction Oxygen (O2) deficiency monitors, also known as oxygen depletion monitors, are vital safety equipment used across a wide array of industries that help ensure personnel safety. These safety monitoring systems detect low levels of oxygen in the air and will trigger visual and audible alarms when oxygen concentrations drop to an unsafe level. Unsafe, […]

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 […]

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 […]
