Air Science is proud to supply the new Center for the Future of Forensic Science at Bowling Green State University, in Bowling Green, Ohio, with two critical pieces of forensic evidence processing equipment.

The Center, along with Bowling Green State University and the Ohio Attorney General's Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI), have combined their expertise and created an innovative opportunity for teaching and research.

The Air Science products, installed in January 2019, include the Purair® Basic ductless benchtop fume hood and a large capacity Safefume™ cyanoacrylate fuming chamber. The Safefume chamber, identical to those used in working crime labs, will be used by students to safely develop latent fingerprints using ethyl cyanoacrylate vapor (CNA) in a controlled environment. The unique Air Science® Multiplex™ filtration system will protect the students during use.

Now a showcase for forensic sciences serving the citizens of Ohio and law enforcement throughout the USA, the Center is under the direction of its first director, Jon Sprague, R.Ph.,Ph.D., whose team will provide educational programs for BGSU students, forensic scientists, crime scene investigators and other law enforcement practitioners from around the country. The Center will support research that should lead to new methods for processing and analyzing evidence, generate new understanding of the neurochemistry and toxicities associated with substances of abuse and much more. These efforts in teaching and research places Ohio at the forefront of forensic science.

Labware and Lab SuppliesLabware and lab supplies include various forms of glassware, plasticware, reagents and personal protective equipment (PPE) and are used across all scientific laboratories, enabling daily tasks to be performed. Explore a range of flasks and beakers, petri dishes, carboys and storage bottles. Labware such as condensers, desiccators and burettes are also available for more specific tasks. Find the best labware and lab supplies in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Evaporators and Freeze DryersCentrifugal evaporation is used for solvent removal from a sample. This is a useful technique for sample concentration or sample drying. Many centrifugal evaporators are modular with a central vacuum pump for generating low pressure. Useful features of evaporators or vacuum ovens include minimal solvent bumping, solvent resistance, computer control, temperature regulation and benchtop design.Fume Hoods and CabinetsFume hoods and biological safety cabinets are designed to provide personnel, sample and environmental protection by limiting exposure to hazardous materials. Safety cabinets are classified as class I, class II or class III and methods of contamination reduction include filters or air flow such as in laminar flow cabinets. Fumehoods and Biological Safety CabinetsFume hoods and biological safety cabinets are used to provide personnel, sample and environmental protection by limiting exposure to hazardous materials either by venting or enclosing hazardous sample space. Fume hoods include filtered and ductless fume hoods, general ducted fume hoods, laminar flow cabinets and cabinets for powder weighing. There are three classes of biological safety cabinet, dependent on the level of protection provided. Class I provide personnel and environmental protection, class II provide product, personnel and environmental protection. Class III provide the highest level of protection and are designed for use with high-risk biological agents. Other ventilated workspaces for the laboratory include glove boxes, glove bags, anaerobic and hypoxic workstations. Find the best fume hoods and biological safety cabinets in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Laboratory ManagementLaboratory management involves overseeing the operations of a lab, ensuring compliance with safety regulations, optimizing workflows, and maintaining equipment. Efficient lab management is key to ensuring accurate results and minimizing downtime. Technologies like laboratory information management systems (LIMS) and automated lab equipment are helping labs streamline operations. Browse our peer-reviewed product directory to find the best laboratory management tools, compare products, read reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.Laboratory SafetyLaboratory safety is essential to the effective operation of all laboratories and is required to minimize the risk of harm during experiments. Guidelines, regulations, and equipment should be available in all laboratories to ensure that the working environment is safe and secure.Forensic InvestigationForensic investigation is a diverse collection of scientific techniques and methods for the identification and characterization of chemicals relating to crime scene investigations.Forensic ToxicologyForensic toxicology is used to determine cause of death, drug use and contaminations. Toxicological evaluations are commonly used in analytical chemistry, clinical, life sciences and forensics.
