Fumehoods and Biological Safety CabinetsFume hoods and biological safety cabinets are used to provide personnel, sample and environmental protection by limiting exposure to hazardous materials either by venting or enclosing hazardous sample space. Fume hoods include filtered and ductless fume hoods, general ducted fume hoods, laminar flow cabinets and cabinets for powder weighing. There are three classes of biological safety cabinet, dependent on the level of protection provided. Class I provide personnel and environmental protection, class II provide product, personnel and environmental protection. Class III provide the highest level of protection and are designed for use with high-risk biological agents. Other ventilated workspaces for the laboratory include glove boxes, glove bags, anaerobic and hypoxic workstations. Find the best fume hoods and biological safety cabinets in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Laboratory ManagementLaboratory management involves overseeing the operations of a lab, ensuring compliance with safety regulations, optimizing workflows, and maintaining equipment. Efficient lab management is key to ensuring accurate results and minimizing downtime. Technologies like laboratory information management systems (LIMS) and automated lab equipment are helping labs streamline operations. Browse our peer-reviewed product directory to find the best laboratory management tools, compare products, read reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.BiopharmaceuticalsBiopharmaceuticals are proteins and other compounds (such as nucleic acids) produced by living organisms that have uses as therapeutics or for in vivo diagnostics. The most well known example of a biopharmaceutical product, and the first to be approved for therapeutic use, was recombinant human insulin.Cell TherapyCell therapy involves using living cells to treat diseases, often by replacing damaged cells or stimulating regeneration. Stem cell therapy and CAR-T cell therapy are examples of cutting-edge treatments in regenerative medicine and cancer immunotherapy. Browse our peer-reviewed product directory to find the best cell therapy tools, compare products, check reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.Lab EssentialsLab essentials include laboratory consumables that are vital to the operation of all laboratories.Gene TherapyGene therapy is a technique that modifies or replaces genes within an individual's cells to treat or prevent diseases. This approach holds potential for curing genetic disorders, cancers, and certain viral infections. Advances in gene editing technologies like CRISPR are driving the growth of gene therapy. Explore gene therapy tools and technologies in our peer-reviewed product directory; compare products, check reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.
