We installed small vanes in the area of maximum flow inside the hood and we daily checked that the vanes were moving by the air. As to the actual flow in f/min the hoods were checked annually by an outside company. René J. From: Amber McKenzie To: histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu Sent: Wednesd

Hi Brandy, I have recently had the opportunity to build a Path lab from scratch. In the design we decided to completely separate the grossing area from the microtomy and IHC area of the lab. We built a "room within a room", made it negative pressure, installed 2 Thermo elevating grossing stations

Hi, At the University of Washington we have been told to lower the sash all the way when the hood is not in use to save energy and money. I believe there have been several Universities that have done some cost analysis of this and have show large savings in money (one study stated $1500 per year p
