Cryogenic Technology
Cryogens are substances (liquids or fluids) usually at very extreme low temperatures (below –150 °C, –238 °F or 123 K). Cryogenic technology can be defined as the study of the production of low temperature fluids, measurements at low temperatures, and behavior of these materials at low temperature and how to produce them. It is also concerned with the application of low temperature processes and techniques

Photographic Technology
Photography simply means writing, drawing or printing with light. Light is therefore most fundamental in photography because without it then no photographs will be produced. Light is a form of energy, it’s a source of all colors and its composed of different wavelengths, those that are of importance in photography are those that fall within the visible region of the electromagnetic spectra because they can be perceived by the human eye. These are composed of different colors e.g. red, blue green yellow orange etc.

Laboratory Inspection
The laboratory inspection is the safety audit of the conditions and operations that occur on a daily basis in a specific laboratory. Laboratory inspections are conducted at least annually to ensure safety and compliance with all applicable lab safety regulations and guidelines. These inspections are also intended to provide a formal opportunity for laboratory personnel to ask questions regarding any aspect of lab safety in order to improve overall compliance. Laboratory inspectors need to have a greater understanding of safe laboratory operations. The lab inspector needs a higher level of laboratory safety training to be able to recognize problem areas and be able to ask questions and eliminate the hazards.

General Procedure for Cleaning Laboratory Items 

  1. Before cleaning, inspect the apparatus for damage and extent of contamination then determine the appropriates type of cleaning required
  2. Clean as soon as you can to avoid the formation of hard-to-remove residue.
  3. Use the Right Brush- Make sure you have a variety of brush sizes on hand suitable for cleaning laboratory glassware of all kinds, including test tubes, funnels, flasks and bottles.
  4. Use the Right cleaning reagent – cleaning agents with mild abrasive action will give better results on very dirty glassware, as long as the abrasive doesn’t scratch the glass.
  5. Start with the gentlest methods, If the stain is not removed, move on to longer soaks and harsher cleaners.
  6. Sterilize Before Cleaning When Necessary
  7. Finally, when the glassware is fully clean, rinse it thoroughly and allow it to dry.
