Hazardous or Sensitive Materials

Many substances processed in today’s working laboratories or production environments must be kept pure. Moreover, many of these substances also pose a risk to user safety, particularly in microbiological and pharmaceutical settings. To ensure purity and avoid dangerous cross-contamination, personal protection for the user as well as protection for weighed substances is essential.

This paper describes 13 steps for safe, accurate weighing in safety cabinets or other enclosures. Technical aspects of protective gear and enclosures are also covered, as are strategies to address the challenges inherent to weighing under such conditions to ensure high user safety, weighing accuracy, and product purity and quality.
