Single Gas Mask

Original price was: KSh3,000.00.Current price is: KSh2,500.00.

A gas mask used in laboratories is typically designed to protect against various hazardous substances, including chemicals, biological agents, and radioactive particles. These masks usually feature a tight seal around the face to prevent contaminants from entering. Here’s a basic overview of the components and considerations:

  1. Facepiece: The main part of the mask that covers the nose, mouth, and sometimes the eyes. It’s usually made of rubber or silicone for flexibility and a proper seal.
  2. Filter Cartridges: These cartridges are attached to the mask and contain various filter materials to purify the air. They can be specific to certain types of contaminants or provide broader protection.
  3. Straps: Adjustable straps secure the mask to the wearer’s face, ensuring a snug fit.
  4. Exhalation Valve: This valve allows the wearer to exhale air without letting outside air in, maintaining a closed system for breathing.
  5. Visibility: Some masks feature transparent facepieces or additional eyepieces to ensure proper vision while wearing the mask.
  6. Comfort Features: Some masks include features like padding or adjustable nose bridges for added comfort during extended wear

Uses of Single gas mask

Chemical Protection:

Laboratories often handle a wide range of chemicals, some of which can be toxic, corrosive, or irritating to the respiratory system. Gas masks with appropriate filter cartridges can safeguard against inhaling these chemicals.

Biological Protection:

In laboratories working with biological agents such as bacteria, viruses, or fungi, there’s a risk of exposure to airborne pathogens. Gas masks with suitable filters can help prevent inhalation of biological contaminants.

Radiological Protection:

Laboratories dealing with radioactive materials or isotopes need protection from inhaling radioactive particles. Gas masks with specialized filters designed to capture radioactive particles can mitigate this risk.

Emergency Situations:

In the event of a laboratory accident involving the release of hazardous gasses or vapors, a gas mask can provide immediate protection to laboratory personnel until the area is evacuated or the situation is controlled.

Personal Protection Equipment (PPE):

Gas masks are part of the personal protective equipment (PPE) ensemble used in laboratory settings where respiratory protection is necessary. They complement other PPE such as gloves, lab coats, and safety goggles to ensure overall safety.

Field Research or Sampling:

Scientists conducting fieldwork or sampling in environments with unknown or potentially hazardous airborne substances may use gas masks as a precautionary measure.

Training and Preparedness:

Gas masks are also used in laboratory safety training and emergency preparedness drills to familiarize personnel with their use and ensure they know how to don and doff them correctly in case of an emergency.

Acid Proof Gloves

Original price was: KSh3,000.00.Current price is: KSh2,500.00.
Acid-proof gloves are an essential safety equipment used in laboratories where researchers handle corrosive chemicals. These gloves are designed to protect the wearer's hands from coming into direct contact with acids, which can cause severe burns and skin damage. They are typically made from materials that are resistant to acids, such as neoprene, nitrile, or rubber. When choosing acid-proof gloves for laboratory work, it's important to consider the specific chemicals being used and select gloves that are compatible with those chemicals. Additionally, the gloves should fit well to provide adequate protection without compromising dexterity and comfort. Proper usage of acid-proof gloves involves inspecting them for any signs of damage before each use, avoiding contact with incompatible chemicals, and promptly removing and properly disposing of gloves if they become contaminated. Regular maintenance and replacement of gloves are also necessary to ensure continued protection for laboratory personnel.

CarboxyMethyl Cellulose (CMC) Food grade

Original price was: KSh9,000.00.Current price is: KSh8,000.00.
CarboxyMethyl Cellulose (CMC) Food grade is a water-soluble polymer that is derived from cellulose, which is a naturally occurring polymer found in plant cell walls. CMC is produced by chemically modifying cellulose through the addition of carboxymethyl groups, which gives it its unique properties such as high water solubility, thickening ability, and film-forming properties. CMC is widely used in a variety of industries, including food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and textiles, as a thickener, binder, stabilizer, emulsifier, and dispersant. It is commonly found in food products such as ice cream, salad dressings, and baked goods as a thickener and emulsifier, as well as in cosmetics and personal care products such as toothpaste and shampoo as a binder and stabilizer.

Free Fall Apparatus

KSh0.01
A free fall apparatus, often used in physics experiments, is a device designed to study the motion of an object falling freely under the influence of gravity alone, without any significant air resistance. It typically consists of a tall vertical track along which objects can fall, with sensors and timers to measure various aspects of the falling object's motion, such as its velocity, acceleration, and time of descent. One common type of free fall apparatus is a simple setup involving a vertical tube or rail along which a small object, such as a ball or a feather, can fall. Sensors at the top and bottom of the tube detect the passage of the object and measure the time it takes to fall. By analyzing the data collected from these sensors, physicists can calculate the object's acceleration due to gravity and verify the principles of motion described by Newton's laws. More sophisticated free fall apparatus may incorporate additional features, such as electromagnets to release the falling object at precise moments, or vacuum chambers to reduce air resistance and create conditions closer to true free fall. These setups enable researchers to conduct more precise experiments and explore the effects of factors like air resistance on falling objects.

G-Clamp

Original price was: KSh8,000.00.Current price is: KSh7,000.00.
G-clamp, also known as C-clamp, are commonly used in laboratories for various purposes. Here are a few ways they might be utilized:
  1. Holding Apparatus: In experiments where stability is crucial, G-clamps are used to secure laboratory apparatus to benches or tables. This ensures that the equipment remains in place during experiments, minimizing the risk of accidents.
  2. Securing Glassware: When conducting experiments involving glassware like beakers, flasks, or test tubes, G-clamps can be used to secure them to a stand or support rod. This prevents the glassware from tipping over or falling during the experiment.
  3. Supporting Heavy Objects: In situations where heavy objects need to be held in place temporarily, G-clamps provide a sturdy grip. This could be useful when setting up equipment or securing heavy components during an experiment.
  4. Fixing Materials for Cutting or Drilling: G-clamps are handy for securing materials like wood or metal in place while they are being cut, drilled, or manipulated in some other way. This ensures precision and safety during such tasks.
  5. Custom Setup: Sometimes, experiments require customized setups that aren't readily available with standard laboratory equipment. G-clamps allow researchers to create temporary fixtures or arrangements tailored to their specific experimental needs.
