ChABSA Hybrid Technical Seminar: Empirical Research in Biosafety: Filling Key Data Gaps

Empirical Research in Biosafety: Filling Key Data Gaps Presented By: Rocco Casagrande, Ph.D., Executive Chairman, Gryphon Scientific In this session, we will present data from our empirical work in biosafety and our work exploiting existing data sets to inform biosafety. We will discuss our methodological framework for studying aerosols generated by laboratory accidents, and present information on the aerosols produced by dropping microtiter plates and tissue culture flasks. Also in the physical sciences, we will present data on the rate that conical centrifuge tubes leak and the frequency that splashes occur when opening microcentrifuge tubes via various opening methods. We will discuss the [...]
