Theme: Environment and Energy

We know that laboratories use lots of energy, water and resources. We know they produce mountains of waste. We know we can do better. But where should we invest our efforts to improve things?

In this workshop we will help you become more conscious of the carbon flows in your labs and help you identify the worthwhile improvements that you can make.

Please only sign up to one of the sessions. The content will be repeated. Up to 15 participants for each session.

Green Labs has teamed up with Avidity Science to provide training on water use in laboratories.

• What types of water are used in labs and why?
• What are the techniques used to produce different types of lab water?
• What can you do to adopt good water-usage practices in your workspace?

Content delivered will not be promotional and staff who use other brands are equally welcome to attend.

This event will run with two sessions on different topics. These can be booked independently if you are only interested in, or are only able to attend, one of them.

• Session 1: 11:00-11:45, Laboratory water quality and purification techniques
• Refreshments: 11:45-12:15
• Session 2: 12:15-13:00, Lab water - economy and sustainability
• Q&A with Avidity Science experts: 13:00-13:15

Refreshments will be available between the two sessions. Delegates attending any of the sessions are welcome to them!

Green Labs has teamed up with Eppendorf to provide training on how ultra low temperature (ULT) freezers protect your samples and what good practices you can adopt with yours.

• How do ULT freezers provide appropriate conditions?
• How should you operate your freezers to best protect your samples?

Content delivered will not be promotional and staff who use other brands are equally welcome to attend.
