Anoxomat Anaerobic System Offers Clinical Laboratories “Green” Advantages Over Gas-Bag Methods That Generate Hazardous Waste

Advanced Instruments announced that its AnoxomatTM Anaerobic System for the laboratory cultivation of bacteria provides important “green” advantages over gas-bag methods that generate large quantities of hazardous waste.

“The Anoxomat system is an ideal solution for clinical laboratories desiring ‘green’ alternatives that eliminate hazardous waste generation, handling, and cost,” said Anthony Pappas, North American Sales Manager, Advanced Instruments.

In less than 3 minutes, the Anoxomat creates anaerobic and microaerophilic environments in reusable jars with no hazardous gases or materials. By contrast, gas bags require that each consumable plastic bag be disposed of after a single use, and then processed as hazardous waste at considerable trouble and expense.

“We estimate that a lab employing gas bags can generate up to several hundred pounds of hazardous waste per year as it grows bacterial cultures,” said Pappas. “With the Anoxomat, there is no hazardous material produced and the jars can be reused for years and then recycled.”

In addition, there are significant savings in reduced gas costs. “The Anoxomat was an easier operation … on gases alone. In the first year of operation, it probably saved us around $8,000 over gas bags,” said Frank Hollis of Hackensack Medical Center in Hackensack, New Jersey.

The Anoxomat system is highly efficient and cost-effective at cultivating pathogens and attaining growth performance that equals or exceeds that of gas bags. In addition, a built-in quality assurance system tests for leaks before incubation. The system checks whether the catalyst is capable of achieving the desired conditions and warns if there is a threat of failure.

To learn more about Anoxomat’s green advantages, visit the Advanced Instruments Web site at www.aicompanies.com or call +1 800.225.1620 or +1 781.320.9000.

White Paper Details Environmental Health & Safety Compliance Strategies for Laboratories

NEEDHAM, MASS. – February 28, 2008 – A free white paper that details three specific strategies to improve laboratory environmental health and safety (EH&S) compliance programs is now available for download at http://www.eheinc.com/labprogram.htm.

“Small and midsized companies and institutions with laboratories must manage complex environmental health and safety compliance programs, involving federal, state, and local regulations with limited resources,” said Jack McCarthy, President and co-founder of EH&E, a Needham, Mass.-based environmental services consulting firm.

In the white paper, titled “Three Proven Strategies for Upgrading Your Laboratory Environmental Health & Safety Program,” EH&E experts outline the strategies they have developed to maximize the effectiveness and the efficiency of these programs.

“Due to the complexity and ever-changing nature of research activities, laboratory EH&S programs can be extremely challenging to develop and maintain, yet are critical to the success of the company or institution they serve,” McCarthy said.

The white paper will demonstrate how laboratory managers, laboratory technicians, and EH&S directors can:

  • Improve EH&S program organization and accessibility
  • Expand the laboratory inspection program
  • Take a blended approach to laboratory safety training

New White Paper Details Six Steps to Investigate and Prevent Laboratory Accidents

NEWTON, MASSACHUSETTS – October 9, 2007 – A new, free white paper, titled “A ‘Six Step’ Process to Investigate and Prevent Laboratory Accidents,” is now available for download at: www.eheinc.com/labaccidents.htm.

Laboratories are potentially dangerous work environments, and often contain a wide variety of toxic, flammable, corrosive, or reactive compounds. Accident prevention is imperative for any proactive health and safety program and accidents themselves, while unfortunate, present an opportunity to improve the performance of the laboratory safety program.

This white paper details the six key components of an accident investigation and mitigation program that are necessary to provide improvements in the overall safety program and prevent future accidents. The steps the white paper discusses include:

  • Notification and Response
  • Site Investigation and Interviews
  • Root Cause Analysis
  • Report of Findings and Review
  • Implement Corrective Measures
  • Monitoring

The author, Kevin Coghlan, M.S., C.I.H., Director of EH&S, Compliance & Strategic Support at EH&E, a Newton, Mass. based environmental engineering and consulting firm, has over 18 years of experience in assessing, evaluating, characterizing, and solving environmental problems in laboratories.

This white paper will be applicable to all those that work in laboratories, including managers, technicians, laboratory safety directors, and environmental health and safety officers.

For more information, or to download the white paper, “A ‘Six Step’ Process to Investigate and Prevent Laboratory Accidents,” visit: www.eheinc.com/labaccidents.htm or call 1-800-825-5343.

New White Paper Details Strategies for Biotechnology Companies to Improve EH&S Compliance

NEWTON, MASS. – September 10, 2007 - A free white paper detailing strategies to help biotechnology companies improve compliance with federal, state, and local environmental health and safety regulations is available for download at: http://www.eheinc.com/pitfalls.htm.

The white paper, titled “Environmental Health and Safety Compliance in Biotech Companies: Common Deficiencies Encountered During Audits,” is based on an analysis of numerous program audits, and offers small and mid-size biotechnology companies an opportunity to avoid costly oversights.

“All biotechnology firms are required to meet complex regulatory compliance requirements from a variety of governing sources,” said Jack McCarthy, President and co-founder of EH&E (http://www.eheinc.com/), a Newton, Mass. based environmental engineering and consulting firm. “Larger firms employ full-time professional staff to manage their responsibilities. Small and mid-size firms often cannot afford the expense or dedicate the manpower to fully meet these requirements, and are therefore more at risk of violations and sanctions.”

Compliance areas covered by the white paper include:

  • Environmental Compliance (air emissions, wastewater, and waste management)
  • Permitting and Plans
  • Employee Training
  • Biosafety
  • Occupational Health and Safety
  • General Documentation Deficiencies

Within each compliance area, the white paper details examples of the most common violations encountered during routine audits and summarizes a list of recommendations for maintaining a continual high level of compliance using limited manpower. Download the free white paper at: http://www.eheinc.com/pitfalls.htm.
