Ralph,
When I was in Biology, if faced with this inquiry I'd probably have started with my sales reps at Fisher Sci and/or VWR.
But, some additional info from the PI would probably be helpful:
You say "particulate protection." Are you referring to protection to the user, the material she is working with, or both?
Is this a sterile environment or a clean environment (or both) work?
Does she need/desire UV light sterilization?
Are volatile fumes being generated?
Table top, or does it need to be free standing?
Jeff
I have a friend who works in a relatively small lab / office combination whose space is fully used by paperwork, records, etc. She has started working with materials that require more particulate protection than her previous work and she is looking for a small biosafety cabinet to conduct this work in. The work area required is about 2 by 2 feet; I wonder if anyone can suggest vendors that have ventilation enclosures that can fill this type of need?
Thanks for any help with this.
