Plum Duo Personal Eye Wash Provides Immediate First Aid to Both Eyes

Wayne, NJ- October 11, 2017  - Personal eye wash is a basic first aid supply for any work environment, but most personal eye wash can only rinse one eye at a time. So which eye do you rinse first if a dangerous substance enters both eyes? It’s one less decision, and likely quicker response time if you have Plum Duo Eye Wash with its unique dual eye piece.

“Whether its dirt and debris, or an acid or alkali, getting anything in your eyes is obviously a painful and scary experience,” says Peter Yoo, Product Manager for Bel-Art – SP Scienceware. “It is very important to apply first aid immediately so permanent injury can be prevented. Luckily, Plum Duo provides solution to both eyes simultaneously.”

A unique dual eye piece keeps both eyes open while two streams of solution flow from the inner eyes toward the outside to keep tear ducts free from further contamination.

Plum Duo Eye Wash is available in pH neutralizing solution to neutralize acids and alkalis to a harmless level in 20 seconds or less, and 0.9% sterile saline to rinse dirt and debris. Bottles are housed either in open stations, or covered stations for high dust workspaces. Quick twist caps allow immediate access to solution which can be dispensed upright or inverted, whichever is more comfortable for the user.

Plum Duo Open Eye Wash Stations range in price from $63.45 to $73.55, and Covered Eye Wash Stations range from $76.35 to $81.65, depending on the solution. A pack of 6 refill bottles of sterile saline or pH neutralizing solutions are also available for a list price of $151.45 and $157.80 respectively.

Cable-Free Sample Temperature Verification

Wayne, NJ-May 8, 2017

Verifying sample temperatures has never been easier with new, cable-free Calibrated Electronic Verification Lollipop Stem Thermometers from Bel-Art – SP Scienceware.

“These Lollipop Stem Thermometers are compact, all-in-one units with the display attached directly to the probe instead of with a cable commonly used in electronic verification thermometers,” explains Laura Geenen, Director of Product Management for SP Scienceware. “The entire digital unit can be placed inside a refrigerator, incubator, or room to verify the temperature of the samples within.”
Cabled electronic verification thermometers are useful in ovens and freezers, and other applications that require the temperature to be verified without disrupting the samples’ environment. However, for applications where the temperature is verified less frequently, or can be checked during routine entry of the environment, the compact, cable-free Lollipop thermometer is the superior choice.

Available with general calibration, or with calibration specific to refrigerators, incubators, or ambient temperatures, all of the Lollipop Stem Thermometers are supplied with calibration documents that meet the requirements of ISO 17025. General calibration models are priced at $59.48 while the specific calibration models have a list price of $99.98.

For more information on the H-B Frio-Temp Calibrated Electronic Verification Lollipop Stem Thermometers or the complete line of laboratory offerings from Bel-Art – SP Scienceware, call 1-800-423-5278, email [email protected] or visit www.belart.com.

Save with H-B Verification Thermometers Calibrated for Specific Applications

Wayne, NJ-April 13, 2017

Factory calibrated instruments eliminate the need for expensive, time consuming custom calibration. H-B Instrument – SP Scienceware now stocks Electronic Verification Thermometers calibrated specifically for Freezers, Refrigerators and Incubators.

“Better service for our customers is our top priority, so offering thermometers calibrated at the most frequently requested points saves users both time and money,” explains Laura Geenen, Director of Product Management for SP Scienceware. “Rather than purchasing a thermometer calibrated at general points and sending it in for custom calibration, customers can now order the temperature range and calibration points specific to these common applications right off-the-shelf.”

Equipped with liquid or glass bead filled bottles which mimic the sample, these thermometers deliver temperature verification without the risk of sample contamination. Multiple models are available with features including dual zone, single or multiple displays, alarms and more.
H-B FRIO-Temp® Calibrated Electronic Verification Thermometers are priced from $127.80 to $168.90 depending on the temperature range and number of calibration points.

Is Thanksgiving Thursday or Fry-Day?

Is Thanksgiving Thursday or Fry-Day?

Next Thursday many Americans will spend the day preparing a lavish feast to celebrate Thanksgiving, the centerpiece being the traditional turkey. The US Fire Administration reports that approximately 5000 fires occur on Thanksgiving Day, which can cause millions of dollars of property damage, numerous injuries, and in some cases, even death.

Some of these fires are caused by improper turkey frying procedures. Watch out TEXAS! Your state has the largest number of turkey frying fires in the nation!

Thinking of plunging your turkey in hot oil? Here are our top fried turkey safety tips!

  • Make sure the turkey is completed thawed out - even a partially frozen turkey can cause the hot oil to erupt into a fireball!
  • Don't overfill the fryer - that turkey takes up a lot of room
  • Never leave the fryer unattended - someone needs to keep an eye on the little guy
  • Keep kids and pets away from the fryer - we know it smells good, but stay back!
  • Do not fry inside your house or garage, or even on your deck or porch! Stay away from trees, walls, fences, or anything flammable!

Cold Feet? (Or Hands?)

It won't be long until the frigid days of winter are upon us here in the Northeast. While opinions on cold weather differ from person to person (love it or hate it), we all agree there comes a point where it is just TOO COLD. Plus, it only takes about a 3 degree drop in body temperature to begin experiencing the effects of hypothermia. Keep reading to find out when being cold goes from being annoying to deadly.

As your body temperature drops to these levels, here's what you might experience:

  • 32-35°C (89.6-95°F) - Mild hypothermia: shivering, fast heart rate and breathing, some confusion
  • 28-32°C (82.4-89.6°F) - Moderate hypothermia: violent shivering, slow movements, stumbling, mild confusion, pale skin, lips/ears/fingers may appear blue
  • <28°C (<82.4°F) - Severe hypothermia: extreme difficultly thinking, speaking, or walking, puffy skin, vital signs are reduced or absent

Pretty.  Dangerous.

Mercury:

  • Closest planet to the sun
  • Roman God
  • Former car company
  • Chemical element
  • Toxic substance

Though the name has been used for many types of things, the element itself has been used throughout history in a multitude of applications, including paint, cosmetics, firearms, even dental fillings which are still used today. Keep reading to learn more about this unique but toxic liquid metal!

  • Mercury was used in Roman times as pigment in paint, a practice which continued all the way until 1991 (although as time went on it was used more as a fungicide rather than for color).
  • People once considered the liquid, silvery mercury to be so special that it had to have healing powers. They used it to treat everything from syphilis to parasites to simple cuts and scrapes.
  • Ever heard the phrase "mad as a hatter"? This comes from the mercury poisoning that many hat-makers suffered from using mercuric nitrate as a way to soften the felt used in hat making. 'Mad hatters' suffered slurred speech, tremors, and sometimes hallucinations.
