But in fact the motto is part of the company logo of Labo\u00adGene. Amongst other things, the Danish labo\u00adra\u00adtory equip\u00adment special\u00adists produce laminar air flow work\u00adsta\u00adtions for univer\u00adsi\u00adties, chemists\u2019 shops, and phar\u00adma\u00adceu\u00adtical compa\u00adnies.
\nLabo\u00adGene CEO Mikal Skat N\u00f8rrevig explains the thinking behind this claim: \u201c\u2019Scan\u00addi\u00adna\u00advian by Design\u2019 describes two aspects of our company philos\u00adophy: On the one hand, our prod\u00aducts are so attrac\u00adtively designed that they almost look like modern kitchen appli\u00adances. At the same time we place great emphasis on making our equip\u00adment user friendly.\u201d<\/p>\n

With this approach, the Danish company and its 45 employees have earned them\u00adselves an excel\u00adlent repu\u00adta\u00adtion throughout the world. The equip\u00adment they supply is used in labo\u00adra\u00adto\u00adries in around 60 coun\u00adtries, predom\u00adi\u00adnantly in Europe and Asia. To main\u00adtain the top quality of the prod\u00aducts, Labo\u00adGene is constantly looking to make improve\u00adments and works together with a number of other compa\u00adnies to achieve this. \u201cebm-papst is a compe\u00adtent and creative partner for all aspects asso\u00adci\u00adated with fan instal\u00adla\u00adtion and how to design the air flow.\u201d

There is a quieter solu\u00adtion<\/h2>\n

Of partic\u00adular impor\u00adtance to LaboGene\u2019s customers are quiet-running systems. As N\u00f8rrevig explains: \u201cLabo\u00adra\u00adtory workers spend many hours a day with our laminar air flow systems. In such a situ\u00ada\u00adtion, any back\u00adground noise can be a real nuisance and wearing on the workers\u2019 nerves.\u201d For a long time, Labo\u00adGene there\u00adfore did the same as other compa\u00adnies and used forward-curved fans to keep the noise level down, even though these were not capable of opti\u00admally distrib\u00aduting the air flow through the filters fitted in the systems. Labo\u00adGene was never entirely happy with this solu\u00adtion, but in the past there was no other alter\u00adna\u00adtive.<\/p>\n

\nFans from ebm-papst can help us to mini\u00admize the overall power consump\u00adtion of our systems.

Peter Lund Plechinger, Product Manager at ebm-papst in Denmark, was aware of this problem as well. When ebm-papst brought the back\u00adward-curved centrifugal fan RadiCal onto the market, he saw an oppor\u00adtu\u00adnity to help Labo\u00adGene out of their predica\u00adment with regard to the fans. The RadiCal is ideally suited to the appli\u00adca\u00adtion at Labo\u00adGene, having a better frequency distri\u00adb\u00adu\u00adtion and being consid\u00ader\u00adably quieter-running than its prede\u00adcessor. \u201cTo demon\u00adstrate the advan\u00adtages to the customer, we constructed a model of a laminar air flow system on our premises \u2013 with all the tech\u00adnical intri\u00adca\u00adcies.\u201d Plechinger was thus well equipped to stage his presen\u00adta\u00adtion.<\/p>\n

Air flow exper\u00adtise<\/h2>\n

The audi\u00adence was really impressed. \u201cAlong\u00adside the prod\u00aducts, the great thing about working with ebm-papst is that the people you talk to are fully conver\u00adsant with every aspect of the air flow. The presen\u00adta\u00adtion we were given further rein\u00adforced that impres\u00adsion,\u201d says Mikal Skat N\u00f8rrevig.

As a result, the air flow through a laminar air flow device can be ideally adapted to various scenarios. \u201cOn top of that, energy effi\u00adciency is becoming an ever more impor\u00adtant consid\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtion,\u201d explains N\u00f8rrevig. \u201cIn the case of new labo\u00adra\u00adto\u00adries in partic\u00adular, a lot of compa\u00adnies set down strin\u00adgent spec\u00adi\u00adfi\u00adca\u00adtions for the equip\u00adment used. This is where fans from ebm-papst can help us to mini\u00admize the overall power consump\u00adtion of our systems.\u201d

Systems for cutting-edge research<\/h3>\n

Laminar air flow systems are primarily used for research work on sensi\u00adtive or crit\u00adical substances or samples. They prevent cont\u00ada\u00adm\u00adi\u00adna\u00adtion by parti\u00adcles getting in from the outside, and also stop mate\u00adrials getting out of the system from the inside \u2013 which can be a matter of life and death in the case of hazardous substances. Fans produce an air curtain to isolate the inte\u00adrior of the system from the surrounding area. A further fan discharges the air. Regu\u00adla\u00adtion of the air produces a slight vacuum in the laminar air flow system that stops substances getting out.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/all>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
