Solved - Precision Powder Weighing in Filtered Fume Hoods

Accurate weighing of powder is often a fundamental part of many work processes, and it’s vital to the success and reliability of your results. When using a filter fume hood, precision weighing of powders becomes more complex and can be affected by airflow turbulence. This can also present safety and containment concerns when using hazardous or potent pharmaceutical compounds. It’s therefore important that good working practices and the right equipment combinations are used to ensure both weighing accuracy and safety.

In this webinar, Cédric Herry, director of research and development at Erlab, and Szymon Holubowicz, senior market manager at OHAUS Europe, will help you achieve accurate weighing results by talking about:

• The importance of selecting the right weighing equipment:
  • Choosing equipment with the right performance, including the use of semi-micro balances
  • Preserving a high-performance balance through routine equipment maintenance
  • Effective combinations of filtered fume hoods and analytical balances
• Improving safety within a filtered fume hood:
  • Vital safety procedures for the handling of hazardous materials
  • Working principles of filtered fume hood safety standards
  • Adopting good working practices when weighing hazardous substances
