When you’re excited about updating your lab with a shiny new ductless fume hood or enclosure, the last thing you want to do is fill out forms and wait for answers. But when you want to buy one of these devices from AirClean Systems, we require that you fill out an application worksheet. This step takes some time and thought to execute well. Why are we such party poopers?
Spoiler alert: it is because we care about your safety.
What is an application worksheet?
First, it might be a good idea to understand what an application worksheet is. Essentially, an application worksheet helps you to explain in detail precisely what the ductless hood or enclosure you plan to purchase will be used for or what applications it will be used for. By thoroughly describing how the hood will be used, what chemicals will be contained within it, and who or what you intend to protect, our filter specialists can ensure that the hood or enclosure you purchase will perform exactly as required by your particular application.
How to fill out the worksheet
The worksheet first asks you to describe what the hood will be used for. Here, one might explain that the hood will be used to weigh powders like dexamethasone or that it is to be used for samples of acetic acid and ammonium acetate. Whatever your application will be, here is your chance to be very detailed about all your intended uses; it’s almost impossible to have too much detail here. The more, the better. Read more >
