In modern laboratories technicians sometimes have to work with potent drugs or sometimes new chemical entities (NCE’s) with yet unknown properties. Safety first is the word! Especially during weighing. Special designed weighing enclosures provide safe handling environments for the manipulation of potent drug compounds or NCE’s. During our lecture we will discuss the contamination risks and the awareness of exposure routes. As well as safe weighing techniques, exposure prevention during weighing, correct use of a balance during weighing and finally safe disposal of contaminated waste. Our aim is to lead the industry with containment solutions that help hygienists provide safe working environments allowing lab technicians to carry out their work effectively and safely.
