Celebrating 50 years as pioneering experts in airflow monitors and controls
Our journey Today’s incredibly efficient laboratory conditions are often taken for granted but it was only in 1994 that the first British health and safety standard for fume cupboards, BS7258, was introduced. My father joined the business around this time and quickly realised it had the specialist expertise to meet the gap in the market […]

Turn your lab green with the AFA4000
Earlier this month the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) issued a special report on the impact of global warming above 1.5C and warned that the 3C we are currently heading for could be both devastating and irreversible. Laboratories are highly energy-intensive spaces, using more per square foot than most hospitals or commercial buildings and […]

5 ways to reduce energy usage and cut costs in the lab
Laboratories are notoriously energy intensive, requiring high amounts of ventilation to operate safely. Fortunately, much can be done to reduce energy consumption from adopting energy efficient behaviours through to upgrading your fume cupboards’ air control system. There are many good reasons to reduce energy usage in your laboratory; you’ll make significant savings on energy bills, […]
6 reasons to switch to variable air volume (VAV) fume cupboard control.
Fume cupboards play a pivotal role in the laboratory, protecting users from harmful substances. A typical laboratory uses an exhaust blower to pull air from inside the room through the open fume cupboard sash, taking hazardous and noxious gases with it. The contaminated air is then expelled or filtered for re-circulation. The average chemical fume […]
What is Continuing Professional Development?

CPD is essential in helping individuals and companies to keep skills and knowledge up to date, this is particularly important in the science and technology sector as it is constantly evolving […]
Q & A: Carbon Emission Targets for higher education institutions
In response to the Climate Change Act of 2008, the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) developed a sector reduction strategy to help meet the UK Government’s carbon reduction targets – as set out in the 2008 Climate Change Act. In just three years’ time the higher education sector (which leads the world in […]
Reduce energy costs by up to 85% with the AFA4000 VAV Controller
In uncertain political and economic times our customers are sure about one thing; saving energy (and therefore money) has never been more important. That’s why we developed the AFA4000 VAV Controller and Auto Sash Controller which is proven to reduce laboratory energy costs by up to 85%. How? The AFA4000 VAV Controller automatically adjusts airflow […]
Have you seen? We’ve got a new website
Like many growth businesses, we’d outgrown our website. It no longer did justice to the pioneering air flow controls and monitors we supply, nor the extent of our technological capabilities. More importantly, we needed a website that made it easier for our customers to find the information they want quickly and easily. What we changed […]
