| | | | Conducting a risk assessment is one of the first steps that is recommended before performing new experiments that may expose workers to hazardous conditions or materials. However, you may be wondering what is a risk assessment, and how do I conduct an appropriate one for my biological materials work? In this white paper, we will discuss what a risk assessment entails, what information you will need to perform one, how to mitigate risks, and how the selection of your biosafety cabinet fits into your overall risk assessment and risk control measures. |

| | | | | | The Importance of Configurability While the low upfront costs may seem tempting, these designs simply target the lowest common denominator. Though equipped with the most common features, these pieces may not suit your specific needs—this compromise forces your team to adjust their work procedures to the equipment. Consider purchasing your cell culture equipment from a manufacturer that offers a wide range of configurability options to ensure the new system accommodates your current processes and enhances workflow. | | |

| | | | | | Evaluating the Cost of Ownership When buying a new car, do you solely consider the sticker price before purchasing? Analyze the full cost of ownership when comparing prices—a gas guzzling lemon may look cheap on the price tag, but you know the extra fuel will quickly dwarf your initial savings. A gas hog costs more to operate and causes more damage to the environment - the same level of scrutiny should go into purchasing your microbiological research equipment. | | |
