University of California researchers full of praise for laboratory instrumentation firm Radleys.
?In 2014 the State of California was in the midst of an unprecedented drought with a big drive from the State of California University Office of the President to save water.
Professor Seth Cohen of the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of California San Diego (UCSD) said: “Safety culture improvement is a high priority at UCSD.
When I was introduced to Findenser, I immediately saw the opportunity to eliminate costly floods that result from condenser hose leaks. UCSD has also undertaken a campus-wide initiative to reduce energy and water consumption and Findenser is the perfect product for drought-stricken California.”
The Findenser super air condenser is designed to replace water-cooled condensers in over 95% of common chemistry applications.
Armed with this knowledge, Cohen asked his team to evaluate its water-saving and performance benefits.
The team did this through a series of laboratory trials and the outcome was an investment by the University in a significant quantity of Findensers for laboratories throughout the department.
“The implementation of Findenser has been very smooth,” Cohen said.
“On average, researchers in my laboratory each have two Findensers. We’ve seen an immediate improvement by eliminating cumbersome hose connections that clutter valuable hood space, creating a safer, simpler environment in our fume hoods.”
