Science Safety Day at the National University of Singapore

For the second year running, Esco sponsored the annual Faculty Safety Day, organized by the Faculty Safety Committee of the National University of Singapore. This event aimed to promote good laboratory practice as well as chemical and biological safety. It attracted 500 participants from the faculty, which included professors, research fellows, research assistants, students and laboratory technologists.

Esco contributed by providing souvenirs for the gift bags and games and also exhibited two of our products, the Frontier Acela Fumehood and the Lexicon Ultra Low Temperature Freezer, the latest product launched in 2011.  Participants of the event were also made aware of the wide range of products that Esco offers through this exhibition.

Esco’s Group CEO, XQ Lin, was also invited to give a presentation on “Safe Use of Biohazard Safety Cabinets and Fumehoods” where he shared useful information on the different types of BSCs and fumehoods and international standards governing them. Safety tips on the use of BSCs were also shared through a video presentation, which received much positive feedback from the audience.
